No thanks either Star Citizen is lost in details and a handful landable planets.
Speculation on the new era
- Thread starter Bionic Bytes
- Start date
Agreed.
My guess the new era is just marketing to keep the player motivated. No hint for new era so far and slow development for maintenance mode. 100 ppl are working out the new era on fancy power slides... Dilber, Dogbert, Ratbert ähhmmm
If I get atmospheric worlds I pay full price again.
Nope... never in 2020
I'm so used to dissapointment from FD that I've set my expectations to practically nothing these days but we cannot forget The New Era is a paid expansion. If people are paying money it by definition has to deliver and in giant spades.
I don't expect anything anymore, whatever does show up will probably be half baked anyway just like previous additions.
Source: history.

At least the squadron 42 campaign
And imagine if much of "the new era" is of "Multicrew proportions"
If you fail to fail, then you've succeeded. If you succeed to fail, you've still failed.
As for Expectation Management - Frontier does a pretty good job of that - they simply don't say anything. Nothing said, nothing to manage.
Where the problem likes is in Speculation. Frontier would have a hard time Speculation Managing. And people are dumb enough to speculate wildly, and fall for it when someone posts a scan of a redacted sheet of printed paper made up of some random speculations and calls it a "leak".
We have to manage ourselves first. The rest will fall into place.
A sure value !
I’m not entirely sure of what the New Era will actually contain and so far not particularly fussed about either Fleet Carriers or the expected, um, hoped for, no hang on, potential of space legs. I’m a VR user so I’m not convinced it can be implemented well in VR and the thought of switching to and fro between screen and headset isn’t an exciting prospect for me personally.
I’ll probably just wait and see what the content creators show, read any open letters and decide whether it interests me. Though whatever does come along I’m just hoping npc crew sharing the bridge/cockpit is tagged on. Oh, and I’d like Kenneth to be happy. SSC for mini mining fun.

There's nothing to speculate if one expects nothing. But how does that attract and keep up interest? It doesn't. If something is to be expected but nothing is given to speculate, one can speculate anything. Blaming the people achieves nothing. A mixture of bad decisions and bad luck can be blamed. So, in conclusion, I'm expecting spacedragons. At least they won't shut it down because that would hurt their rep.
True, FD haven't given us any clues as to what we should expect for the New Era. Literally any speculation is just as valid as another.
I'm revising my speculation. I think the New Era will be bark mound farming. Implemented as an addon feature where players can start their own bark mound farms, grow crops, and sell them on a very competitive market for credits. Build your farm from nothing and grow it into a bark mound empire! Buy new equipment, drive the new Harvester SRV, enter Space Fairs to see who can grow the largest bark mounds and win ribbons!
oh and you can still fly ships too.
If you call that “playing”, I guess...

I expect, at most, a handful of new missions, some fluff (a few new ships etc.), lots of old bugs, some new bugs, and that's pretty much it. I am not sure there will actually be FCs, anyway, given that those have been delayed twice already.
Yeah, that sounds pessismistic, and I'm still convinced it was a good thing to focus on bugs, but, honestly, I don't think we'll see that much. Yes, I'll keep playing the game, but given that they tell us nothing, the safest to assume is there is (next to) nothing.

Well,one can have different expectations for 95 people working on next era for years Vs a handful of dudes working on carriers as well as other stuff.
I still believe that "100 people working on E: D" quote includes the cleaning women, doorman, HR department and the 50 people working in PR.
To speculate it is necessary to have a minimum of clear statements.
For now I am not aware of a statement from Frontier concerning a topic in the New Era.
