Update coming ?

[Horasfalter]

Hi,
In game message told me that the servers will be off in about 15 minutes.
Has anyone seen some patch notes?

 

[Joe Spivey]

It's just maintenance according to the in-game message so not an update or anything exciting.

The more I hear about getting out of your seat, walking around the ships/stations/planets I wonder if we'll see other forms of combat other than just ship vs ship

There are a lot of videos on this side about wat the want to do in the future even stealing ship driving on planets hunting etc this is just the beginning.

Yes, this has been talked about by FD and there is some concept art somewhere, probably on the wiki. But yes, locking onto another ship in space and forcing an entry, hand to hand combat, shoot-outs in the cargo hold... all is possible.

JJ Abrams wrote a review and said that the game needed more lens flare...


I think they are adding more lens flare...

Planetary ground Battles could be possible and even buy your own Apartment xd

To be perfectly honest, I'm not particularly thrilled at the prospect of FPS style combat and general moving about as a person using a HOTAS. Although if it comes to that I'll probably find a handy setup where I can quickly move things out of the way and switch to mouse+keyboard.

FPS would be fine and walking on planets, stations and other things (Asteroids?) would be great. I wonder what kind of wildlife (animals, plants, ruins) we will see. But I hope there is more to do as to shot something.

But in the JJ Abrams version of Elite, Lave was destroyed by a wandering black hole.

That is where Elites brilliant control configs come in.

There is nothing to stop multiple controllers already in game. Taking to the extreme, if you had room, I imagine there would be nothing to stop you having a HOTAS, a steering wheel, a gamepad and a KB/M set up all for different control schemes.
