So what happens next? 2019 updates

2019. Plan is that we have daily threads asking 'are we there yet?' Then at some point FDev announce their plans, and then we get more 'are we there yet' threads.

Meanwhile most of us get on with enjoying the game as it is...
OP wasn't rude or insulting your precious game; he simply asked where you would like to see the game go, don't be a jerk.
 
The release of Horizons was extremely quick(and surprising).
Released just one year after launch, and was a massive addition.
Sadly they didn't keep up that pace, and diverted much resources to other projects.
With the focus back on Elite now and a 100 dev team working on the next expansion things may get really interesting.
Did they divert resources. I don't remember that happening. I also believe that planetary landings had probably been in the works for longer then a year.
 
I suspect we'll hear more at whatever is the next public event attended by FDEV. They'll be wanting to keep their marketing powder dry for that, I'd imagine.
 
Shouldn't we be getting a Q1 announcement soon? :D

Where do you see ED (realistically) going over the next year? Honestly I feel 2018 is going to be a pretty tough act to follow.

I'm looking for that huge and long-overdue bug fix patch, along with some potential "rebalancing" of certain gameplay and UI elements. There's a lot of potential with what's already in the game, it just needs be cooked for a little longer.
 
Hopefully, they will remove respawn rights from Thargoids - so pilots can actually accomplish something when destroying them - there is no purpose when the "goids" respawn in the same places, doing the same things, while a pilot loses credits being destroyed or the inadequate rewards for "goid" destruction.

Thargoid killing is not really well rewarded at all. That 2M tag sounds promising juicy, but the work, time and effort that goes into it just isn't.
 
I think the first paid DLC will be a server structure that works. Everyone who doesn't buy the DLC will continue to fight through the servers they are using now.

Update 1 - The Authenticator
Update 2 - The Instancer

I had to stop playing yesterday evening because the game was simply unable to handle me and my secondary account CMDR on the same ship in a private 2-man group. I was getting authentication errors every 5 minutes.
