Horizons What is your most wanted features for future updates?

For me it is simple. More things to do with friends. Multiplayer quests with a greater variety of objectives.

-Fly in formation.
-Quest sharing.
-Group jumping.
-Hire wing men (player/NPC).

QUEST variety.

-Defend outpost.
-Escort cargo transporters.
-Boss fights.
-Fighter support for HUGE npc capital ship battles.
-Scripted instance content. (Think wow dungeons in space)
-Air support for SRV`s.
-Planet base defense.

Here is an idea on being able to craft scripted quests. You know what the modding community did for Skyrim. Create a tool set meant to craft quests. The community will create the content. Create a separate launcher option to play scripted events through steam workshop. The best will be put into the game.

aye that is on my "one day" wishlist as well.. of course such a season would HAVE to also have a moray star boat, the quintessential sea worthy submersible space vessel for the discerning gentleman (or lady)

if we did, in my minds eye the docking bay would actually be a docking pool, so we go under the base and up, and end up floating inside the under water base...

For the immediate future my wishes would be:
- Winging up with NPC
- NPC crew
- Volcanic planets
- New SRV types
- Shuttles for big ships
- New spacestation models. I would love some stations with specific functions, like Military battle stations, mining complexes, Prison installations, Factories, true Shipyards etc. etc.
- NPC activity on planetary surfaces
- A bit less RNG in finding materials and engineer commodities. It takes far to long to find some stuff.

In the long run:
- Walking around my ship
- EVA (I'd like to leave my ship in space and investigate a large shipwreck for example)
- Alien activity in space
- More ships

In the longer run:
- Landing on atmospheric planets
- Alien plant and animal life
- Mysterious alien ruins and artifacts on planets and in space (could also be on planets without atmosphere)
- Even more ships

Yeah, Waterlite Dangerous. I'm in.
........................

I have only one wish. It takes 23 different parts.
Part 1., subpart a):

- Total HUD color mods all in one (cockpit, speed indicator in SC, orbit lines and docking HUD);
- Different filters in display (saturated, desaturated, metal like, etc), background (milky way a sort bit too orange like, a white, bluish-white would fit better to me);
- Krait, Panther Clipper, Lion Transport, Lynx Bulk Carrier, Kestrel, Moray Starboat, Gecko, Boa Freighter, Puma Clipper, Constrictor.....;
- Storage (commodity, equipment);
- Ship transfer and ship transfer related missions;
- Have a blast underwater;
- Engineer mod for detailed surface scanner;
- Restockable limpets by using materials;
- Optional colors for lasers;
- More remote colonized systems with star cloud backgrounds (like Maia);

Enough.....I'm not a greedy type....

Recruitable NPC wingman would be awesome.

So many gameplay possibilities.


"Sorry harry. they say if i dont surrender you theyl blow up the ship. The cargo hold is that way.."

*points


I feel like FD are over looking a very easy thing here.
They actually wouldnt have to do much but throw an npc avatar in the seat next to you that u get rewarded from some mission.
He wouldnt even have to do much. Wed form the relationships ourself just by them being there.
And it would add more gravitas to death of the ship beyond that of just credits.

So so many plus sides that seems cosmetic butstill would add so much more.
The additional features of having the npc wingman could come later when they figure it out.
But for right now? For something differnt to talk about and add to the game?

Seems pretty straight forward.


So lonely out there...


But yeah harry would totally still die.

Weapons balancing (so that explorers, traders and miners can do the trade without a an up armored ship) bug fixes and game stability. Not sure why but lately approaching planets has not been smooth and last night I couldn't get more than 45 fps on the surface.

Yep all of the above.
NPC stuff I want, but happy to wait.

there are so many things that can be causing this. whats your rig setup? what graphic settings were you using?. we need details rather than just assuming its a fault with the game...
 
EVA for exploration of ship wreckage, hull repair, getting knocked about by the rotating section of a starport. I don't require walking yet. Just let me float. And weld broken stuff.
 
-Enhanced networking - instead of using poor peer 2 peer, use some cloud dedicated server system. Like in Dual Universe or Worlds Adrift which allow hundred or thousand of peoples to be in the same place.
-multistage mutliplayer missions with involves flight, SRV ride and FPS mode in haunted capital ship wreck!
 
[h=2]What is your most wanted features for future updates?[/h]
A working galaxy map that shows the correct system state, has real trade rout eplanner that actualy is correct, hides the balck market, shows the correct values in power play and loads quickly.

Power Play and player actions affecting the story line rather than railroading the plot or ignoring many signiciant actions. Power play news actually being incorpoarted in to events. eg why on earth did Denton get a promotion yet he has been in the bottom of power play for ages? Where was the mention of Antal in Galent reaching and setting up a commune in Maia weeks before the Federation arrived and many other things that players have done as groups that should shape the story.

Community goals for powers that are always overlooked like Archon and Antal. I think Archon and Antal have had something like 1 each in the last year where as Denton has had something like 20?

Not knocking Denton Power Play group, just saying what happens is irrelevant as far as the ED story line goes? I mean how long has the Alliance been at number one yet the stories are constantly imperials blah blah Fed blah blah, A huge disconnect between what the Powers are actually doing and what the story writer says they are doing.

But most of all I want bug fixes and tea. There's lots of fun to be had but often blazing our own trail is utterly ignored along with nonsensical mechanics and bugs that persist for weeks or months.

Fly safe and keep having fun with the game we've got :)
 
Not blaming the game but I haven't changed my settings or installed new software. I can't remember if the computer updated last night, that might explain the low planetary framerate but the glicthing when approaching the planet has gone on for a little while. Funny thing though... I had an issue where the Nvidia GeForce Experience wanted to update and I didn't do it. At the same time I was having issues with the game when I alt tabbed out using really high CPU power. I was very slow to bring up the web browser or to interact any program like voice attack. After working on the issue one night I updated the Nvidia GeForce Experience and it got much better. I then went in and turned of the recording of my desktop and that solved the issue entirely. You never know what might be going on in the background. But the planet glitching never improved...
 
I'd like to be able to change the colour of my HUD. I'd like my mirror window to stay fullscreen when I start my gaming session. I'd like to be able to deselect the lines in the Galaxy Map my clicking twice on the fastest route option, but for the map to still remember the fastest travel option, just like it used to do before 2.1
