Been a while since I've seen a LEP thread, so here's another one! Yes yes, I know you just want me to shut up and go away by now, and no, that's not going to happen. I'm going to keep making posts like this until I get a solid answer.

In case you didn't know, FD have postponed their supposedly originally planned LEP content until next year. FD have said they will be 'opening the shop' (if someone has the exact quote, I'll edit my post) for LEP holders.

So, first of all, when will you be 'opening the shop' FD? Second, what will be up for grabs?

Then there's the 'originally planed LEP content'. You waited too long to release it FD, no matter what it is, it will be a disappointment. You might as well tell us what it is now, there's no fixing the disappointment, you can only make it worse by hyping it.

At this point, I don't even care when you will supposedly be releasing it FD, because I will not believe you. Why should I when you keep kicking it further and further back?

Give it a few months, and if we hear nothing about paid expansions I will join you on the ranting.

Well OA, is 'next to nothing' close enough?

"FD have postponed their supposedly originally planned LEP content until next year."

There is your answer, but obviously you already knew that.

RE the quote, it was 'by the end of this year'

Another area that we’ve had a number of questions on is the “premium content” coming in 2018.

As many of you will know, we previously mentioned that premium (paid for) content would also be coming within the Beyond season of updates and that Lifetime Expansion Pass holders would be getting this for free. However, as we went through the early stages of what the next era for Elite Dangerous would be, we decided that it would be better to spend that additional time on the future content, rather than bringing new types of purchasable content out this year.

This is a big positive for the long term future of the game and its content. However, we also understand that there are people with Lifetime Expansion Passes who haven’t received paid for content in this season, because Beyond has been free to all owners of Horizons. We truly appreciate the support and commitment that those owners put in us when they purchased the LEP and we will be making sure that there is a form of free store content going out to them by the end of this year.

Also worth noting the prior quotes on the premium 2018 content:

It was described previously as "some pretty cool things" [1] & "additional small surprises" [2]

Personally I'm cool with the call, would rather efforts be put into the DLC than apparent tideover fripperies. But press 'em on the whens 'n wheres if you like, sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why when I read this does my gut say to me we're getting some hue-slider 'exclusive' paintjobs/commander suits?

+Rep, I have to agree.

They even don't be able to let us know something new about 3.3, let alone for content in 2019.

I believe 3.3 will bring new stuff in the shop and most (all?) of it will be free for LEP holders. That's why they haven't said what's this about yet...
Zac also confirmed that the next big update (new era?!) will be free for LEP holders while everyone else will have to buy it.

Store purchases for the LEP owners lol. That must be the biggest insult of all. Thats what they paid the extra money for.. skins and bobbleheads.. thats the content they expected when they clicked away their real life money.

Thanks OP. These threads reminds me how lucky i was to decide not to get the lep, back then.
As far as i have seen the development rate and the recent announcement about "future content", i can safely wait the next paid content no earlier than Q4 2019. So cheers and enjoy your 3 years long horizons dlc.
