[nosscar]

great thread, thanks for putting the time in, i missed a few questions, so saved me listening to all of it again. +1

 

[Titus Balls]

Thanks for the recap - I'm watching the video now as I missed it earlier (cos IRL). Looks like it'll be a good Christmas.

Just watch the stream here and hear it direct from the horses mouth

[CmdrJacks]

Thanks. I missed a couple of the end questions due to the SRV engines when they were looping the videos. Non thargoid aliens eh?

 

[Patrick_68000]

+1 for this work

 

[Aussiedroid]

Appreciate this ! Thanks for putting this together.

Finally some beta dates ... yippeee!

 

[who?]

Thanks for this summary!

Will we see an equivalent to the large cities under domes we saw in Frontier

There are ever bigger settlements coming, there are things in 2.0. Big cities will not be in 2.0 but they are coming.

Just on this one, I believe he stated they're not merely coming, but coming some time during season 2. That's pretty big, to me. I hadn't heard any solid mention of these from any dev, and now we have a confirmation and a timeline.

Yeah I think it was something along the lines of they won't be in 2.0 but things will be getting bigger, building up to things like the domed cities you see, during seasons 2....

 

[Dathayn]

Other non Thargoid species

Yes



...head blown.....

 

[Terry Bruge-Hiplo]

Thanks for this. Missed the first half of the stream. Definitely worthy of pinning

How about a shark teeth paintjob for the Anaconda

David Braben really wants it, he will ask why there isn't one already

Did anyone else think "BRRRRT"?

 

[h347h]

Thanks for the guess - what if I don't want an SRV, only the planetary approach stuff? I hope an SRV isn't required?

Nope you can fly around and land all you want. You just wont be able to get out and about. You can still land on the surface bases.

 

[Herik]

Thanks. I missed a couple of the end questions due to the SRV engines when they were looping the videos. Non thargoid aliens eh?

Yes! this last little bit is very intriguing...

 

[Axdrenalin]

Nice job with the summary, appreciate it very much as I was at work during the stream. +1 repped.

 

[IAM GROOT]

So does anyone know if the Cobra MkIV is in 1.5 beta or 2.0?

 

[Kristov]

Great summation, thank you.


For those who didn't watch it, you should, we get to see the SRV deploy from inside the SRV, and it includes a look at the inside of a Cobra from somewhere else other than the pilot's seat!

 

[DNYI]

Thank you for your hard work commander, +1 rep

 

[Vyvian]

Any clue as to how much the PAS is likely cost?

I wouldn't take this as gospel as I can't remember where to find it but:

I remember Michael Brooks gave a number of 45,000cr in another thread.
Then purchase of SRV seperately.

 

[5AmpFuse]

Thanks for this writeup, my excitement is mounting. I will go watch the stream. Is there some kind of metal detector or something, I would love to have a mining SRV where I can drill down. Or maybe a subterranean SRV to explore cave systems or mine works.

 

[Legacy_LuckyLuke]

High hopes for 1.5. And season 2.0

 

[Frank]

When I slam the dashboard I want you to stop as if a child has run in front of the vehicle

Does anyone know if driving the SRVs is going to be a separate rank?
