There are words here, thought they seem to signify nothing.
Don't get me wrong, David Braben is one of my heroes, but ever since the AMA Q&A's where he basically didn't answer a single damn thing other than to give vague affirmatives about stuff we already knew, I've pretty much given up on getting excited about anything he says. He should run for government

Oh, and what would that be?

"that stupid bureaucracy" has its downsides, but to be fair it is not all bad.
whilst bugs still make it through as a general rule games on console have WAY fewer issues than on PC. This was also the upside of charging devs to patch their game. iirc they got 1 "free" patch fix and the rest they had to pay for on the XB360.
I read cosplay on the first pass through that sentence
I suspect the reason this isn't happening is because of how the multiplayer stuff is handled on XBONE. AFAIK, MS have provisioned a certain amount of Azure capacity for XBONE multiplayer. It isn't P2P like it is on PC, and that Azure capacity is not available to us, so presumably they're effectively in a walled garden.
Why would it stop anything? We were told nothing!
We already knew planetary landings were coming one day. We still don't know when!
We already knew walking around your ship was coming one day. We still don't know when!
We already knew the rest of the 30 ships were coming. We still don't know when!
We already knew Thargoids were coming one day. We still don't know when!
What exactly did we hear in the interview that is exciting news? Did I miss something?

I hope you realised before you dyed your hair blue.
Yup, took the words right out of my mouth..

Good let us know as I would prefer 1st myself.I like surprises personally speaking

I've checked with the journo on Twitter whether DB actually said 3rd person for walking around or whether it's a mistake and it's 1st person. I'll reply when i get an answer.

lol +1
Hmmm that's an interesting theory, Does this mean Xbox gamers basically have to pay for a free service? (Xbox live) when all other platforms would be free for multiplayer. Well all i can say is "sucks to be you" to that xbox player.
You need the Gold account for multiplayer but can play Solo with the free account. (Much like Destiny which also required a constant connection to the server even in Solo but was still free and needed Gold for MP.)

But this was always the plan for their paid expansions. This isn't news.
Welllllll in my experience most P2P on PC sucks rather badly, compared with dedicated servers. Look at the battlefield series in recent years. The netcode is awful. Compared with CS back in the day, it feels very artificial. So, one could argue XBONERs get some of the best dedicated server provision in the gaming world for a fairly paltry fee. Again, assuming my recollection of the way this works is at all accurate.
I think relevant to this might be the question. Are micosoft servers p2p or standard? Is it possible to play in the same instances between two different server structures? I really don't know.
Yes but that is assuming that FD have completely overhauled the games netcode to be suited to a more traditional client-server architecture, If i'm not mistaken, FD can't afford this client server architecture and I highly doubt Micro$oft is paying FD a slice of their Xbox live account subscribers lol.
Well, that raises an interesting question about how devs pay MS for this server provision...or if they pay them at all! After all, it is in MS's interests to have the best possible multiplayer experience out there. And they charge GAMERS for gold subscription, so perhaps they're taking the hit. Azure is their platform after all. I mean, how much of it do they REALLY need to set aside at any given time? There was talk of "more computer power than existed in the whole of the world in the 90s" at one point, and discussion about how it could be used to enhance the games themselves - like a cloud computing platform for your physics or AI maths. Many people doubted the veracity of these claims at the time, though
