It's really about time that you accept different opinions and views, including that it isn't necessarily irony when someone says that Beyond added lots of great stuff and brings the game in a better direction than previous updates like Multicrew. If you don't agree with that it's fine, you don't need to. But please don't insist that everyone voicing a different view must be ironic because then you are confusing your opinion with having a monopol on objective truth. It's possible that you missed it, but that's what the post was about.
Will you pre-order the next DLC? I will... and that's why:
- Thread starter Mugur
- Start date

Pre-order - nope, but if its space legs or atmospheric planets then I will buy it after release 
You mean you will buy it when last patch of season hits the game? Because pretty much anything else is a preorder.
I hope their atmospherics will have in the fist iteration: Stars/Gas giants/Ice giants/simple lifeless planets.

i dont think the next expansion will be the same model. Frontier admitted that horizons buy upfront on a promise and wait did not really work out.
how exactly it will be developed is unknown. my hope is 1 big upfront expansion that we pay for, then the rest of the updates will just be patches and "story" updates whilst the rest of the team work on the next big thing.
my fear is it will be a series of low cost smaller optional DLCs, however if they go this way it means nothing can be meshed into the game as FD cant assume that because we own module X we will therefore have module Y and Z.. hence i fear it will be a disjoined mess.
fingers crossed for the former. a classic expansion which launches pretty much complete.
Bravo, but it doesn't really matter, because it's not those people you have to convince, it's Frontier.
If they announce a DLC then most likely yes. Unless its something with "walking around" then most likely no - I will have a hard time to support that in a space ship game like ED.
I can just imagine what my life would be like, as a kickstarter/LEP owner and not pre-ordering the DLC for Mrs Teatime.....no brainer really
Given Frontiers record of longstanding unfixed and reappearing bugs a rational person imo would wait for release and see what the reviews were.
Just as a for instance, X4 devs promised trackir support and it was released without it and doesnt seem to be a priority. If i would have preordered id be asking for a refund.
Personally, im not buying any more elite dangerous until they fix some of the long in the tooth and reappearing bugs like wing navlock, assasination mission targets spawing with the wrong tags on them etc.
The newer bugs like the codex not working as designed i can forgive for the moment and i mean just for the moment
Im done making bug reports, they have plenty of those on the same issues, have had every opportunity to act on them, and they have every ability to test the game to see how its working for themselves.
They will get more of my money when they start fixing bugs.

I support this attitude.
I’m onboard to whatever end.
Personally, after seeing how bad this latest release is, and the attention paid to it by the company during a time when most of the playerbase could engage and expereince it, I'd not pre-pay or indeed pay for anything from them again until i'd first seen it released and then gauged how good or bad it was.
With the last release, they proved they do not test, they do not quality check, and then they all trot off on their holidays, leaving the entire player base trying to play around, bad code, bad networking and the usual hundreds of bugs.
For a year that was supposed to be consolidating the game, they managed to create even more bugs and failed to fix outstanding ones.
Nope, they can sing for it.

By your own words, if they delay the release to iron out bugs/issues then that would make them 'liars' in your book for failing to deliver on time:

So, what would you have them do, sollisb?
Here's a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fGujzulsas
I'm hoping, by how they released the planet scanning missile thingy, that Fdev are over their insane love of RNG collecting to do anything.
XRVR is great, the Flight Assist Off mode is (imho), better than Elites and there's a lot more exciting things to fly around in space - no planets to land on tho'. Someone modded in the original storyline too (not sure if that's still working).
After reading this thread, I probably wouldn't preorder but if it's atmospherics (more than one type), probably a day one buy for me.
