Delirium checks out ;-)
I upgraded day one and still need more space. I gather the Horizons expansion will add to the installation size? The reason I'm asking is the PS4 keeps complaining it can't install because theres not enough space even though there is. I think there is a 10% free space requirement or it will give you a error.

Hi everyone,
I've added some details to the questions I'm currently able to answer below.
Gameplay
G1 - On the 27th of June, will the PS4 game servers be up and running from 00:00 GMT? Will there be a day-one patch? Will the 2.3.10 update be part of the Digital Download? Or separate? In short: when will we actually be able to start playing?
The game will launch on the store at midnight allowing you to link your PSN and Frontier accounts and play Training Missions. Access to the full game will depend on when our server update for 2.3.10 goes live; we will have further information on the timing for this closer to release.
G9 - Will it be possible for the context UI menu to include also R2 and L2 (and not just R1 and L1)?
We don't currently have any plans for this on PlayStation 4, it's an interesting idea though. I'm not sure off the top of my head if there are technical limitations with this one.
Tech
T1 - What learning points have Frontier gained from their previous deployments on the Xbox consoles? Where there notable differences between the architecture of the two consoles? Is there anything that we can do to help during the early days after the servers will go live?
I wasn't around during the Xbox launch time so can't comment on learning points but the best thing you can do to help during the early days is to be patient! Launching a game is a hugely complicated process (but you all already knew that
T2 - What is the expected target framerate for PS4 and for PS4 Pro, respectively? Will these be locked or variable (for ex., 60 in space but 30 on planets)?
They are variable on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro in both Performance & Quality modes. Our targets were to make the game play as well as possible in all areas!
HOTAS/Controller
H5 - Can we save controller bindings (as separate files) to USB and/or to PSN-cloud? Do/can we get multiple named config saves for controller bindings?
Unfortunately controller bindings can't be saved individually.
Thanks Lloyd.
Wonder how many gb the day one patch will be.
It will, though I'm not sure by how much (the Xbox One listing says 10mb... o_0 ).
Are you sure that isn't 10GB?
Delete the ones you haven't played in a while, there still in your library for future downloading. I've downloaded dozens of games, tried them, then delete them. They all are in my library waiting. I also go into setting and delete the various related save files. having a full hard drive even if it's automatically defraged runs slower than one that is half empty or half full depending on your out look in life.

So, from the T2, it means standard PS4 will have variable graphical options too?
I believe that FOV is included in the standard PS4 config. We won't get the performance / graphical switch boost.

But only one a new tv, on a 1080, there is very little difference, so it doesn't warrent it. It cracks me up to listen to people rag on and on about how well a video of a ps pro in action looks so great, when their watching it on a conventional 1080 monitor.
What? They already said no 4K so it's probably only out putting 1080P at the very best - so why is any screen greater than 1080P going to make any difference. Not to mention they already showed quality setting having higher clarity textures and more complex lighting effects. What cracks me up is comments like yours, I think you need to stop smoking that stuff lol.

Lloyd, did you get to the bottom of the screen tearing? Purely an artefact of the stream/capture?
Will the single custom set be able to be saved to PS+ cloud / USB as part of the game settings?

I have a new question if this is a good place to ask it...
I know you said that the Frontier Store will be available through the game (and point purchases via PSN credit). However will all the same items be available?
I ask as on the Frontier Store on the web it says things like ship kits are PC/Mac only. Are the platform versions of these available through their respective stores?
Thanks
