New stations, passenger missions, I think I saw the Beluga liner?, a new fighter for the alliance and possibly aliens for 2.2 .

Sultan Tarquin posted:So 2.2 is going to add content which isn't really content? I mean yeah fighter ships seems interesting. But what exactly is it adding? Same with transport missions and station interiors. You're still hauling x to y, only this time you're a space bus instead of a space truck. Well...season 2 is planetary landings, engineers, looting and crafting, multicrew, commander creation and ship launched fighters. 2.2 is ship launched fighters, adding functionality to passenger ships (the Orca has been around for a while) and some new assets. At least, that is what has been hinted so far. I don't think the alien part is coming now, probably season 3.

Sultan Tarquin posted:I guess I'm just waiting for the thing you know. The update that adds multiple layers of complex gameplay that isn't just hauling but with different cargo. Multi crew ships could actually be pretty fun but then you look past it and realise that there's really nothing worth fighting over other than fighting itself. I think you are going to wait forever man. This is not EVE 2.0, nor do they want it to be like that. I think they are simply making a super FE2/FFE, with some pseudoMMO (mostly COOP) features. I see them working on years to come on this (Braben will not drop his baby down), but I don't think they are going to change their concept for the game easily. We as the players are only part of the story that they want to make, not the protagonists. I am fine with that you know, but that is a pretty niche game.

In other news...this panel shows a couple of interesting tabs.  I assume that helm and crew has to do with either changing your post (pilot-other crew position) or/and giving orders to AI crew. Also, does this thing mean that a ship with a size 7 hangar can carry a lot more fighters at the same time? O_o This, combined with AI crew would put a very different complexion the whole feature..

El Grillo posted:Glad they're introducing more variety into station interiors. It also looked like there might be some new types of station/station configurations altogether from one shot in that vid? Yes, that was a CQC station. They wanted those to be added to the game at some point. Regarding the interiors, I do appreciate the change. Due to the way FDEV have tackled modular construction via blocks (for both outposts and stations), it is only a matter of time and resources for the stations to have more variety as time goes on. A looot more variety is needed though, and an update to the rules that specify what blocks can go where. At least, they have concepted this stuff years ago..this guy did a lot of them for Frontier when he was on the team. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xDoGO https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GXd5a Dante80 fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Aug 17, 2016 |

FileNotFound posted:ED community would never accept anything that they would feel would be 'gated' behind PvP even if they had zero interest in what was behind the gate. Its not really about the community though, or parts of it. It is the developers themselves that don't want players to control the game. The idea behind E:D is that you - as a player - are put into a vast space dystopia of sorts, and you are simply a cog in the machine that grinds both lore and gameplay. They don't want to treat the player as a hero, an all powerful immortal (like EVE does), but simply as another solitary speck in the universe. And the universe does not really give a gently caress about you. From the MMO perspective, that is bad of course, but then again this is not an MMO in the strict sense of the word. And it will never be, due to the way networking works (making rear end-hattery like combat logging impossible to curb, and having the option to segregate the playerbase into three distinct communities. Solo, coop and open). There is actually no way to play this game as a PVP MMO with an even playing field between the players. For some people then, the whole idea of the game is pointless without them affecting it in the way they like. I fully understand that, and I can get behind it (I was an EVE player after all). But this is a very, very different game. And for all the wings, and factions, and powerplay etc etc, the scope has not really changed. And I don't want it personally to change either (I am weird though, I play this game like I played FFE, making characters and deleting them after their purpose is completed).

Here is what we have seen in the first stream. 1. The Beluga (pretty nice bridge on this one). 2. New witch space transition that shows the destination star. 3. Passenger board with missions for normal passengers and VIP passengers. 4. VIP side missions that come while ferrying them and boost your income if you accomplish them. 5. New filters and waypoints on the map when planning a route (this is a big QoL update). 6. Geology features planetside like geysers that will tie in with material grinding etc, and give explorers something more to see. 7. And the end of the stream, there was a hint about NPC crew. Also, there was also a hint about aliens, showing an unknown probe trying to cut the stream at some point near the end. Dante80 fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Aug 18, 2016 |

Some of the new star effects that DB talked about. Orca, Dolphin, Beluga, the Taipan fighter and another thingy on the left that I cannot identify..Condor maybe?  Some Fumaroles on a planet.  SRV paintjobs.  The Taipan  and a Red/White Beluga entering a luxury station.  Taken from this article. http://www.gamestar.hu/gamescom/elite-dangerous-horizons-2-2-guardians-update-gamescom-2016-frissites-ujdonsagok-215519.html

Now that No Man's Sky is out and generating buzz it got me thinking about this again. Apparently now if you land on planets and mine space rocks you can engineer upgrades that make your ship jump 1% farther? Is that how that works?

For crying out loud, it is simple. You want to join a friend, you push a button, he pushes another one to accept and you are there. You want out, you push a button, you leave and go back to your ship. Granted, there is a slight problem with what your ship is doing while you are away, but its not like the game does not have exploits, or that those would matter anyway in a game like this...despawn the ship, like you logged off, and you are done.

Here is something new-ish. 1. The wear and tear on paint finally works. 2. It is coded to happen in real time for some reason (as in, real time smooth degradation, no step increments). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRiFWFZgTwc

If I understand correctly, there are artifacts to scoop with your SRV and sell or try to interact, possible cyphers to solve on the monument itself that might provide more info or coordinates, ambiance sounds to run through analysis for clues, etc etc. All in all, nothing too engaging, especially for some types of players. This one would be one of those beauty spots that we were calling back on the DDF days, as nice places to visit for explorers, photograph and maybe get a clue or two. Maybe Frontier has a use for it too as far as the lore is concerned, we will have to see.
