What happens to those who don't upgrade to Horizon? I assume nothing changes but they won't be able to land on planets obviously but will they be able to interact with those who have Horizon? What about ships that will be added as part of the coming season or anything else like items, ores and whatnot?

So the new stuff coming in for everyone is in 1.5, while 2.0 is Horizons. Everyone has access to every ship (except for the Horizons pre-order Cobra Mk 4), 'synthesis', and the minerals it requires, will also be for everyone, as will be multirole stuff, fighters, etc.

Not at the moment no, so it is kinda moot. Non Horizons players do have access to the system though, technically!

I was doing bounty hunting for now because it seems like the highest source of income available to me for the time investment, but at any concievable moment for no reason I might want to suddenly build a capitalist empire of hauling biowaste or give exploration another shot, so sticking with the Cobra sounds like a good plan for me. So long as I don't just spend the next 10 years playing CQC mode I'll probably end up hopping into a Vulture next.

I'm reluctant to commit to a pure combat spec on my ships because it's nice to be able to double up on cargo missions to the same system as my pirate hunting mission or whatever. It's me, the rear end in a top hat that's still gonna have like 80T of cargo capacity in my Imperial Clipper instead of extra armor :v

Of course I frantically clicked on Horizons, but is there any reason to keep elite 32 bit around, or does it just hog precious ssd space?

What is the consensus of the battle prowess of an Asp with nothing but turrets for weapons? Is it viable? I'm not good at maneuvering in combat but this has thwarted off 2 or 3 failed interdictions now and I like it.

Holy poo poo you guys all of those smuggling missions are going to one of two destinations in the same system. Edit and in true Elite fashion when I submitted to a Pirate's interdiction there was also somehow a System Authority guy in the instance, in a totally unpopulated system, who decided to scan me.

Why the gently caress have they left the original game on their store page and Steam? That's like standing in front of Mike Tyson and saying "bite me".

That is what wake scanners are supposed to be for, even if Frontier hosed them up so much no one actually uses them.

 PSA: The Steam update DOES NOT work for Horizons, it is 1.5 only. Download the standalone version if you bought Horizons. see last line of this post: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=211768 Looking into possible workarounds now. Couple starting points for people who want to do their own research: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/3wx8vi/psa_using_steam_launcher_to_play_horizons/

Did you select the group that the scanner is in before firing? If it's a surface scanner or what have you I think it's automatic, just be close and point your nose at the object. Only discovery scanners need to be honked.

If you run the launcher in the steam install folder as admin it works fine. For me anyway.

The usual gaggle of pirates on most jumps, yes. Not a peep from the authority. So it was surprising and frustrating to have one pooped into the instance unexpectedly. At least I still made half a mil off of the slaves I couldn't deliver

Do you have "automatically deploy weapons" turned off in the options? I know it's just for your ship but there is a bug that means the data link scanner never deploys on the srv if you have that option off. So make it so your weapons do automatically deploy when you pull your weapon trigger and be amazed when your data link scanner starts to work

So, Horizons is on Steam as its own separate SKU. Once I get my Steam Code from Frontier's imploding store, do you suppose it's safe to uninstall the base game? My hard drive is getting pretty cramped these days

I got interdicted 5 times in the first 5 unpopulated jumps from Robigo, the 5th one put the escape vector into the star, i got e-stopped and immediately scanned while popping heatsinks and hauling rear end at 390m/s away from the SA vessel. Oh and as of now, don't bother plotting routes in galaxy map because it dumps the guidance any time you use more than 1T of fuel for a jump. Because you need to recalculate, maybe you can jump a bit further! ignore the fact that there's half a dozen pirates/SA in the system trying to interdict you while you fumblefuck trying to plot jump 3 of 15 to get to your destination

It's always been random as to whether they spawn or not. Sometimes I would get a swarm of NPCs greeting me in a system, sometimes there would be none at all  Incidentally, you know how we joke around that Frontier builds stuff from old code that doesn't include recent fixes? They're getting better, 2.0 seems to have been built on 1.3 instead of 1.1, meaning lots of the Powerplay bonuses aren't doing anything just like when 1.3 went live . Hopefully that also means the interdiction mini game is less broken as a result.As always, it'll take them a few days to get the worst of the bugs sorted out so don't be too upset if things aren't working right immediately.
