- Standard Beta allows access to 1.5 beta.
- Horizons Beta pre-order gets access to 2.0 beta.
- Lifetime Expansion Pass gets access to both, as do Premium Beta and Alpha backing (which have LTExPass already)
Summary of the Q&A with David Braben

At least that's not a no.
And leaves room for: pleaeaeaease! I'll be a good Ziggy for season 2. Promise.
It's not a no and we want to support it, but it depends on how badly it can break the game. Now if everyone promised solemnly not to post and bad screenshots...
Michael
I don't know what Q ship is. From memory 1.5 will give us the Imperial Minifighter for CQC, the two huge combat ships, the Lakon Keelback (a combat ship as confirmed now), the Asp scout (probably not a trader given how the DBS is not a trader either) and the Viper Mk 4.
Is the Viper Mk 4 a "Q ship" and a cargo ship?
I have this weird feeling it is not.
At the very best the Asp scout is a multipurpose ship that can be a trader, but I don't see how you'd fit a trade ship between the Type 6 and the Asp, they're already way too similar in performance.
But dedicated traders we got nothing since launch.

I solemnly swear that all my screenshots will be shiny and chrome.
Love the way you phrased that. And I agree, debug cam is important enough to allow it to break the game just a little.
We can do this.
Game's far too pretty, so no chance of bad screenshots anyway[/obvious blatant debug cam prospect induced suck up]
and no clipping through the planet surface to see the lava underneath?

There's no external beta for the Xbox One 1.5 release.
Weapons are getting a major overhaul with the new loot system.
Michael
Thank you. Will the Xbox get 1.5 on the 9th or will it wait.
After Horizons is out the door presumably...if they start to tell us everything about the loot system that will come in 2.1 now then what are they going to talk about in the weeks leading up to that release?
Thanks for transcribing this! Looks like I can already tell my family I can't make it for X-mas this year because I'm busy with... Ehm... 'work'.
David's Answer to the force feedback question:
Does this mean they are going to make a start on this. I would guess starting by re-wokring the current xbox haptic feedback, which must be the first steps towards full and proper force feedback support.
You'd think this would have all been carefully programmed in some time back.
It does require a couple of programmers to go right through the games universe and make notes of where and when haptic events should happen. And then deicide upon which are important enough for the xbox one release. And then go back soon after and work/refine work/refine it.
And then they would have the starting point for full and proper force feedback in its first iteration.

Gah! Apparently I can't rep you again yet, but I will. Oh I will. Excellent summary, and thank you much for doing it.
Thanks OP - really useful!
