There are CGs in which Frontier clearly doesn't want to lose. Salvation's CGs which offered module bribes, the pro-Sirius pact one which provided 4(!) pre-engineered modules versus virtually nothing for going against it (ship/engineer unlocks).
It's really nice of Salvation after the big gun disaster that they paid the CG rewards as expected, including the modified plasma charger.
It's still history, if in real life I want a town to be populated, I'll give money and other things so that people move, it's the same thing, if I wanted them to help me save humanity or destroy it, I'd make those people companions giving him what he wants
i honestly think that even if these cgs would go in a different direction, fdev would use some kind of deus ex machina to get the desired outcome.
And equally, Frontier are happy I think in those circumstances for it to go the other way - they're under no obligation to offer a CG for the other side at all, or even have that bit of the story told by CG in the first place - even if they can often be fairly confident about which side will be chosen. Puzzle-type story segments are basically impossible to fail even with 99% player opposition to it being solved.
There's not really any need for them to. The NMLA storyline lasted about 15 months, and had three or four probable branch points in it, months apart. They'd only need an extremely loose outline of what happens next to be able to move ahead at the required pace.
Really? Wow, they are my favorite. Planet exploration =)
I wouldn't mind raw material gathering if there was more to see on these planets. I'm all for exploring lush worlds with hidden secrets, but I kinda had enough of the barren moons with different coloured skyboxes and some geysers/rock formations. xD
I think they got to 50ly of sol then realised they left the bathroom light on so had to come back
Plenty outside HIP 22460. Go deep into the Pleiades Sector and they become far more numerous.
I hear some worlds there have exobiology. Fancy a real challenge? Sample and catalogue all the biological life in that system without getting killed.
The £7M(?) EDO debt was Amortized (written off) early this year, so any new development/story/DLC will be at a cost to FDev. Where is this revenue going to come from?
It appeared, from the financial statement, that the amortisation wrote off the development costs, leaving a profit of around £2 million, possibly that is where it is coming from?
Woah, didn't realised things were like this. I always thought this game lacks micro transaction, compared to other MMO's, and a at least annual DLC sales.
Waiting for Horizon 4.0, so the other players can catch up. But at least the story got exciting. Can now hype your self for a massive dissapointment later, when it won't come true.
Love that idea of news breaking on screens in the spaceports and bars that would be cool as hell.
Also not to forget are the lead times on content that are somewhere on the scale of 12-24 months, so it's quite possible that there are a lot of things in the pipeline that have already been partly of fully paid for..
From people continuing to buy the game and whatever dlc they can us on "last gen" systems, save in the knowledge that the game is still alive and recieving new content...
