Music: Epidemic Sound
Intro by Edgar Hopp - Expedition 13
Nobody explains things quite so clearly as Buur.
Going to be almost like a new game. New purpose, new options, new opportunities.
No doubt there will be bumps in the road, but I'm excited.
New Bugs. FTFY.
@@Pottpeppers compared to Star Citizen this game has no (significant) bugs--trust me--that's why i now play EDO
Future System Architect checking in.
FDev if you want Arx purchases please give us more Fleet Carrier customization. I'd love to see interior color schemes other than white/red, black/orange/green/ugly, and rust/depression. Make more variants too, even if they're only cosmetic as the existing ones are.
This! :)
Itll never happen but i want them to put the prices back down, there are so many things i want to get but wont on a matter of principle.
I will pay tons of arx for more fc customization!!
This is the way
@@arrynroyce72 Not only the fleet carriers, but also some kind of living quarters at the stations will be great. I would buy them for arx immediately just for the sake of immersion. But this is FD, which means you can't expect any of this, lol
I hope the Mandalay comes out for everyone with this update.
@@icytux3484 buy it with real money. Help support ED's future.
It came out for credits on Feb 1.
@@Regolith86 This is false. They haven't announced it yet, however everyone expects it to be available with the update.
Oh is _that_ why I can never find one?! I thought I was just unlucky, looking for it in Inara
@@ChrisGuerra31 Yeah haha, atm they've just been milking the Pre-purchase ARX people. Just keep in mind that this is something that they'll keep doing with new ships in the future
As a new player, I was just watching a video on what "manipulating the BGS" was and I joined the dots with the new ships released in 2024, Powerplay (2.0) changes and Colonization, so your video is timely and a great confirmation.
With seemingly a 20LY gap requirement for a faction to jump to a new system, it makes sense why the Brewer CG for planet data requires scan data for systems at least 20LY ouside the system where Trailblazer Echo sits and the bubble.
20LY is also the threshold for being able to sell cartographic data at all. Universal Cartographics in Sol wouldn't accept data from Barnard's Star since it is too close to Sol, but if you go down to Achenar, they would take the data from Barnard's Star there because it's outside 20LY.
I definitely would like to become a system architect. For at least one system. Doing a lot of searching around the bubble to try and find an unknown, unscanned system that has the neon or oxygen atmo to add ports with spectacular views. It will be interesting to see how the race for certain systems go.
I think there is a major benefit to customization features in new colonies. The more choice people have, the more motivation there is to put your mark on the system. Systems could be designed for economics, or as wonders to behold.
100% will be an architect at least once, hopefully many times. It has so much potential I hope they get close to realizing.
I hope life will let me build my own star system(s)...
Great points!
1) Really hoping that Trading gets the update it deserves, making it more like the X series or JumpGate, where Goods are needed to make other Goods, and trade has a proper reason.
2) Yep, the impact that one faction (for example, one inserted into a system for a CG, where the previous ruling PMF was planning the next expansion from!) can have on another can never be understated!
o7
@@KronenBrg trade does have a proper reason though, depending on the state of the star system.
Thanks for great explanation Cmdr. It's a great time to be a Cmdr in ED.
I just unlocked on-foot night vision! So cool, but so ridiculous how long it took! 😆
Explorer's Anchorage at Sagittarius A* presumably could also be expanded from in the future.
one can hope that with colonization, the roster of new ships for this year would cater to a more "industrial" aesthetic. Like a dedicated mining barge, or that concept art of the panther clipper that's just an armored box with VTOL thrusters. Let this be the year of the space bricks
Yup. Working on what i need in a system to colonize.
As a new player, what exactly are you working on?
@@CollinBaillie oh, I'm just thinking about what I would like in a system. For example, I'd like a ringed planet for mining and some biologicals just for the aesthetics, etc. I'm also trying to build up some credits, because I figure I'll need them... probably lots of them! LOL
For sure looking forward to exploring and being the architect of a system, if time and my credit balance permits it.
I'm definitely going to be an early adopter of the colonization system, space trucking is fun and all, but the games I really sink my teeth into tend to be management games, and it's looking like that will be at the very core of this content.
Can't wait to see more.
I intend to gather up more than one system. I'll probably start with one, learn how the improvements work as well as population and security, then apply that to trying to build a cluster of systems.
can't wait for this update! I got my ships ready and stock piling materials I'm guessing we might need for expansion! Definetly going to colonize a couple of systems
I really hope colonisation needs a lot of core-mined commodities. Core mining is awesome and needs new meaning and significance post Borann...
100% agree. Could do with a little refresh here and there maybe. Make the scanner more useful etc. But yes, I'd love that.
@TheBuurPit perfect opportunity as well. Really hope they take it.
I am not super hyped for colonization in the way it has been represented thus far, but I guess I could build up a system if no one else in our squadron does. When they allow colonization around those distant halo stations, I will perk up.
My theory is that they don’t want to bring complete freedom to colonization, because they are afraid in how many ways the player base would/could brake the world map
They should have started at one of the distant outposts or Colonia and regulated growth (player interest) with what you need to do to get a permit. The vast majority of the map is just empty, and building out a second bubble in the hinterlands would not only give pockets of humanity to visit, but also get pilots away from the overly well trod paths. Finding a system within 10ly of the human bubble that has not been already mapped and interesting enough to sink a good quantity of effort into is going to be difficult. Nobody wants to found a system with every body claimed by other players.
2:03 Mamba Gang, Mamba Gang 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I'm really looking forward to seeing what Elite's going to look like a year from now with all the newly-colonized systems.
I wouldn't plan on building a station myself, but I love seeing ED adding more options to this game. I hope to see much more! Eventually I'd love to see more things related to exploration.
I'm very excited for colonisation! I can't wait to see what people do with it, and how economies and shipyards/outfitting get affected by doing which things in the system
I can just imagine groups of players out there with designs on owning their favourite unpopulated star system getting ready to pounce when trailblazers gets released.
o7 CMDRs, I am looking forward to the expansion(s). It would be cool to see some new tools, modules, engineers, and so forth as well as a new SCO transport or even a new type of fleet carrier. New stuff is usually good stuff.
Great vid Buur! i look forward for this with anticipation!! one worry i have is ok ,we build our base and station ..what is next?Will be a nice wallhanger achievement that "Hey i made this" or will the station will generate revenue ?because one gives and must given back . I hope you and fam are well!! O7 !
It would be good to know if the Colonisation is for player factions only, then will they bring back the opportunity to enlist new teams to create new player factions that is now frozen option? Or is this new feature will be enjoyed by the already existing lucky previous player factions only?
The Panther Clipper would be ideal for hauling to build out systems
That Chrome Mamba looks sexy af.
This update seems cool & all but, I'm going to have to wait & see if this is actually fun. I'm not sure yet what the reward is for putting in all the time & credits.
would be fun to have seperate communty goals in the colonia and the bubble so it can give players an option and a reason to go bettwen systems that will help the game to expand the population bettwen them that would be awesome and its possible and easy now with the new ships
Gonna start a new mining squadron just for this
it would be nice to know how much and what type of comod will be needed to fix an station
Oooo hype. I just wish I could make some remote enclave outside the bubble >.>
The consortium might be the closest thing to that.
I'm ready for the colon drop!
Interstellar Mining Corporation was an acquisitive amoral company in a John Pertwee Doctor Who story.
i would love to create my own colony but am currently out the other side of Colonia so i may have to wait a while.
Hopefully we can name the systems if they currently have a generic name like col sector etc or at the very least the stations and installations keep up the good work o7
Burr get them to add the ability to launch fighters from the Fleet Carriers.
Full Battle Star Galactica vibes
As much as I'd love that ... That's not how this UA-cam thing works 😉
Hauling large ammounts of commodities to estabilish a colony, so I need to purchase fleet carrier to make the job easier. Welp, time to go collect some plant samples 😉
Raxxla confirmed!
well mining seems to be the best activity for everything so i expect it to be important with whatever this is supposed to be.
Speaking of distant human colonies, theres a base out in the rosette nebula i want to build a colony near, i discovered a system out there which was my first ever discovered system, theres nothing i want more than to make it my home
I'm gonna get a few star syatems.
I'm going to wait until after someone has come up with a how-to video on how to colonize a system before I decide if I'm going to participate in it, or keep exploring the galaxy.
My brother and I are who knows where it's been about 3 months since we played I'm not sure where we're going to go he wants to continue towards Colonia I want to go back to the bubble because I'm not done engineering I will never be done engineering
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
System architect ? I want to be a system lord.
7:25 Here's another idea for a hauling vessel: something like a Type-5 (but can ofc be a different manufacturer) which does to the Type-6 what the Type-8 did to the Type-7.
But before I explain how I imagine a hypothetical Type-5 to be, let me explain shortly something about the game:
When you look at the available combat and trade ship, put together with the security for traders by law enforcement, you have a plot hole.
You have a galaxy which is
1. relatively dangerous
2. help needs quite a bit of time to arrive, easily enough to loose a noticeable amount of cargo (if the pirate just send hatchbreaker limpets which ignores shields)
3. a lot of heavily armed ships which may or may not be friendly
If you compare that to real life, this doesn't make any sense. Every time pirates became a noticeable problem trade ships armed themselves appropriately to a point where during the golden age of piracy, at least when it comes to equipment. Pirates were just more used to combat and because of that more effective at it (on average). Even today these big ships get "armed" more again (not with actual weapons because of legislation, but with for example water cannons which shoot water mixed with pepper spray) because pirates start to become a bit more of a problem again compare to two decades ago.
This situation is illogical, but it seems like FDev has noticed that at least a bit.
When it comes to big ships, you have the Cutter and the Type-9 (even if the Cutter is technically a multi-purpose ships, but before the Type-10 the Type-9 had one less size 8 optional while the Cutter had the same internals as today) where the Cutter has a similar amount of possible cargo while being considerably more tanky and faster.
When it comes to medium ships, you have the Type-8 which at the very least isn't doesn't explode when you look at it wrong, but can take enough hits to run away which it very much can with over 470 m/s boost speed with full cargo racks (ofc engineered). Sure, full blown combat ships will still be faster (a random Meta-FDL build I pulled from the web has a boost speed of around 550 m/s), but you very much have a chance (unlike with e.g. the Type-7 which a way worse shield multiplier (seriously, experiment on e.g. edsy with it a bit) and is with less cargo and about 50 m/s slower speed, worse handling and less hard points (put some mines with effects which targets shield or engines into them; you would be surprised how many people won't expect them and will then be salty because their engines are rebooting, or the shield are down and they need to get back to a station, or it just slows them down because they need to evade them)).
So, what would a hypothetical Type-5 need to be able to do? Well, it's a small ship so it can't take a hit from at least medium ships, so it needs to be able to run away. So it need at least 100 m/s more speed with full cargo racks (while you shouldn't underestimate the speed small combat can go, it's a shame how close the small and medium ones actually are to a point where hitting the right spot will come down the tens of m/s). Essentially you become a blockade runner. And from a cargo pov, well, FDev said the Cobra MkV will not be the best small cargo ship. That's currently not the case, except if the "will" includes not yet released ones. So a bit more cargo than the Cobra Mk5 it is. And then combine this with one to two small hardpoints placed to well drop mines behind you. While medium combat ships would certainly be able to keep up long enough to kill or stop it, they won't have an easy time which would encourage of small (and faster) ships. While these would struggle with the Type-8 (because of tankiness). That would also mean that you won't have ships which are great at dealing with most things which imo is currently kinda lacking.
And this ship would funnily enough also fit a niche which isn't taken by any ship in-game a small and fast cargo ship.
Now some people will say "just play Solo". To these I say: Open is these days mostly dead because the current game design quite frankly discourages open play. I originally started playing the game before engineers were a thing (or planetary landings) and the release of them were imo a big less for open play for two reasons: imbalance and the capability difference between a combat and a non-combat ship. The first one was over time changed (there was some really broken stuff like no resistance hard or soft cap; yes, you were able to get to about 100% resistance in all thermal, kinetic AND explosive). The latter is still the case to a point where I in general wouldn't recommend anyone to play open (or in one of the huge private groups) if you aren't in a combat ship (or one which can take enough hits). Sure, it was always big, but engineers made it extreme. (Who remembers that one asshole who managed to get into GalNet (on 08 APR 3302) because they took their full combat built Federal Corvette (again, pre-engineering, or Colonia, or guardian modules) to Sagittarius A* purely to kill explorers? I don't know anymore what happened afterwards, but I think others did the same trip to kill them to make them stop. If I remember correctly there even was an outcry to ban them from open by a big part of the community but I have no idea if FDev did something about it. But well, back then the community in general saw ganking considerably worse than it does know and made at least some effort of making open a nice experience for most people which as I noticed after coming back isn't the case anymore.)
This ship design is at least something which doesn't discourage open play.
Absolutely I'm looking to colonize. I'm sitting on 10+ billion credits with nothing to do!
I'd like to build a system but I really hope they make it worth your while as far as an investment to make credits off of instead of one that costs credits only.
Only people who have a massive bank account will be able to afford it and they do not care about ROI. Those who eek into it will likely complain about the upkeep costs, thinking the expansion was meant for them, when it never was.
I used to be a console gamer, with hopes of playing games like elite dangerous odyessy. Fast forward to almost 1 year, I finally have a powerful enough PC which can quite comfortably run ED (hopefully lol). So I was so surprised to see the amount of features and updates coming to elite dangerous, I am now gonna buy this game and finally play it!
Remember if you use the transfer system from Fdev you get your Commander copied over from console and a free copy of Elite.
@@TheBuurPit Thanks alot for telling me, I looked the transfer system up and turns out they give a free copy of horizons. So glad I did not buy ED lol
I am sure that it will get quite long time to colonise a system. I am expecting to expand into empty left side of the bubble first. Naming space stations with personal important and meaningful names is mostly attracting me. Especially with rich planet rings full of materials to support economy will influence the bubble more than ever for sure. Every player will have their own "castle" systems and every player should have a freedom to issue permit or building allies/enemy systems with other players just like a nation. Custom building space stations with cosmetics would step up this game. And I am dreaming about building cities in earth like worlds in the future.
Thanks!
So many questions about colonisation, so few answers by Frontier... 😿
Thargoids are going to be welcome in my System along everybody else as long as everyone keeps their weapons holstered and hardpoints retracted 😂
Just a question, do you think will be possible to colonize systems around Colonia?
@@nicolanapoletano5065 in the initial implementation no. Fdev have said as much. But there was definitely an implied "it's the bubble to start with". So going forward my gut feeling is probably yes at some point but that really is a guess.
"Large SCO stabilized hauling vessel" panther clipper panther clipper panther clipper
Definitely will be hopping back on to explore this when the update drops. I've taken a bit of a rest from Elite after the thargoid war, but I still have all those juicy credits from bug squashing, will be outfitting a miner and hauler for new system claiming!
I’m really curious about the cost. The carrier costs 5bil so it’s gotta be more right? I have 10bil rn and I hope that’s enough to get me started
@@delvinguidry3973 they have already said the costs of buying the beacon are nothing like carrier costs.
In terms of building out the system in not convinced it won't pay you in actual fact .... Like a hauling CG for example. But I guess we'll see!
@@TheBuurPit I’m excited either way!
Will you get discounts for owning the stations in your system, can you build things which feed the economy in surrounding systems and take profits on revenue of your stations
Large hauling vessel?! please god be the panther clipper. Finally we could do space trucking runs that only require like 2 or 3 returns.
Oh I plan on taking some systems. Just keeping my expectations in check
Hopefully is possible to colonize solo but I doubt it, so it will be a squadron activity then
They've already said it's possible for the solo player.
We all need to work together and make a road to colonia instead of doing random systems dotted around do something to help the community
It already exists...
elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Colonia_Connection_Highway
hehe CMDR Jackson Quest ... system lord . I must admit it has a ring to it .
We’re on our way to colonize our FC Bubble in Arcadian Stream and after our expedition (EDEN : Exodus) is finished, we’re heading back to the Sol bubble to plant our flag on a home system!!
Just like the Oklahoma Land Runs of old time 1889 & 1893!!!! Stake your claim and watch out for claim jumpers.
Farming credits right now just for that😅
Collonia, Consortium, Witch Head Nebula, Barnard's Loop - I have 1100 hours in this game, and it seems I still know nothing about it. Wow.
Anyone looking at the Formidine Rift ???
If we can expand, we can contract. It would be interesting to start removing failed star systems.
It could be interesting to see growth and decay in a timelapse.
The influence system (BGS) isn´t working properly at all right now so far as i can tell. Negative, positive actions doing nothing and indeed expansion states being stalled for weeks.
Can we build bases? I have been playing to much ARK :D I did play Starfield and built bases but the Base layout was horrific. Build this to build that. It was more irritating than annything else. But getting to build something in ED could change all that. Hey I will gladly buy a base online if I can place it on a planet in ED. My own little hideout like in EFT. And stack loot. It is important to see your loot like in ARK and EFT.
I really hope we see PMF creation come back with this update. It would be a no brainer to be able to colonize a system while also making it the home system of a PMF. Tie PMF creation into a squadron and you have a pretty easy way to make sure PMF creation doesn't spiral out of control. And I hope all of this can happen within the game and not outside the game on FDev's website.
Could I ask which song you used for this one? Really would like it as a background track for the exobiology I'm currently doing.
I used "Drift Up" by Amber Glow for this video. Lovely chill track 🙂
What is the point of colonization apart from map painting? Will there be any kind of base building?
Not base building per se, but definitely base placement - as the 'architect' you will get to decide what type of bases your system supports, and where they are on the planet, and by extension what type of economical mix your system supports.
FDEV haven't said that there will be any direct monetary benefit after that - but having the ability of have a home base system with the mix of economies that you and your team needs has to be beneficial.
For me, colonisation is a mechanism that will be empty in a short time. It will take a lot of work to gather the materials needed for the construction of the space station. And being a space truck driver is pretty boring, at least for most players.
I think it's a mechanic that I know most players will get bored of very quickly.
I think that before this mechanic they should have put other promised and/or more interesting mechanics like Thargoids in the flesh, ship interiors, ship boarding, EVA, etc.
I don't think I will do the colonisation as I see it as a very repetitive mechanic and for small groups or a single player it will be an almost impossible task.
Space trucking has long been an Incredibly popular job in Elite, it was my first Elite ranking actually, Trading.
Ship interior is perhap the most niche thing that even amongst the niches, is niche. Ship boarding is nice but that wont re ignite the game, this games need a major shake up with this update to try and pick momentum.
@@Krausen2 Only a minority of people believe ship interiors are niche, a ton of people left Elite because they said they wont even consider ship interiors in 2021
There must be a benefit to the cmdr creating the system, if not, people will not grind the materials to do it. I hope there is a benefit or something otherwise this functionality will just not get used
You’re spot on - I don’t own a fleet carrier because there’s not really a point to it, and I’m excited for colonization but if there’s not a ton of point to it I don’t know that I’m going to be helping to build a bridge to Colonia or similar
Disappointed that Colonia is being excluded again. been out here a good few years now, just seem to be missing out on everything.
I hope the Thargoid mechanics will return soon.
Im really happy you explained the mechanics of the game. Especially the reasoning the new features are connected to the BGS and Powerplay.
This is Why Open Only is important. And until they balance the game around the players so they can defend themselves against those actions from other players. All of it falls short. They can continue to add anything and everything to the game they want. However, unless its balanced and PVP is given meaning around it. Griefing will continue to exist. And Fdev will continue to lose players because of it.
4 years prior shows Solo and Private working as it does had no positive influence on the game, community or financials. Solo and Private generated no player retention. Infact we lost more players than ever.
They desperately need to balance the game with addition to these features. Or else its useless and falls off over time.
They should do these things but likely won't. We already have a solution, PG and SOLO and CMDRs not interested in engaging in PVP can (and imho should) opt out to either, as this ensures those in open genuinely want to be there and are up for a scrap if the opportunity arises. It seems to me that a lot of the issue is people who should not be in open, being in open and then immediately being offended by being in open.
Open only is a dead duck and will just not ever be a thing. Frontier have tried. Repeatedly. It's not a thing, friend. Best for everyone to move on and just embrace what is, knowing that some of the game is just immutable and will not change.
Lastly solo/ open did not kill the game, friend, Frontier's lack of focus, funding and partial abandonment did. There are more people playing now because the developer is more engaged, it has nothing to do with the mode one chooses to play in.
@kofeyh I keep getting this same answer. Even from people who worked against it in the past. "They Should, but they wont."
Solo and PG killed the game. We had 0 player retention in the past 4 years. If it really worked like it should we should have gained players. Not lost them. Group play is dead because of single players having every aspect of the game. This is MMO based on territory control. People should never have the option to not be defended against while attacking other people's territory they work for.
History of the game, statistics and all the players leaving because of that. Shows you're wrong about that part.
I mean fdev almost closed their doors. Because they went with the solo players and basically shunned the player groups before the content drought. They lost a majority of their players 6 months after the fleet carrier rework. Before the content drought even started. Then the DLC was released that was made and built to support group play activity. And they STILL LOST PLAYERS. So yes Solo and single player feedback has killed elite dangerous momentum, group play and player retention.
There are many players who play only in solo or Pg. I'm one of them and they would lose most of them if that option was taken away.
Good news, personal progression, exploration, engineering and all sorts of storyline related events are made just for you.
@@That90sKid I'm not going to argue perspective, because that is different for everyone. But the fact is, a lack of investment and using Elite as a funding vehicle, is what caused elite to see massive player loss. If it was just a mode thing, Frontier returning investment into the game would have had no measurable difference.
SC has no split modes, and I'd encourage that for PVP, honestly, as nobody has any choice and must be part of it. The game is also being centered around players far more than elite.
The stats don't really reflect split modes being an issue. It's also asking Frontier to put the genie back in the bottle. Like any other game, stale content and a lack of vision and investment will kill a game far more than really any other cause (yes, split modes is an issue, but it's way further down the ladder). There is ample example of this.
Buur Pit video handling algorithm:
1. click like, 2. listen/watch, 3. post thank you note in comments
Thank you :)
Thank you ❤
Going back to your also excellent Consortium video is quite a contrast to the jittery shadows popping on and off in the updates since. Please fix it Fdev!
If Trailblazers only offers the same starport options we are already used to and if the distances to establish new colonies are a fraction of the distance a fleet carrier can jump in one go it will limit how many players will engage with this gameplay loop. I might be completely wrong and maybe most players are just so bored at this point that they will engage with anything new.
There is still much to be explained regarding colonisation, which, with merely three weeks until launch, seems to me a poor strategy on FDev’s part-especially for an update of this magnitude in the game.
This makes it very complicated for players, and particularly for the PMF, to organise and plan anything related to the update. For example, since the colonised systems will comply with the existing rules of the PP, what happens if the system I colonise is conquered by a PP faction that is rival to mine? Will I then be considered hostile within my own system?
This kind of information concerning the practical aspects of colonisation should have already been made available, as our expansion planning depends on it.
For these reasons, I will wait to see and learn how colonisation will actually work before deciding on my course of action.
I saw this on the homepage and was a bit shocked to see "The Importance of Colonisation", thought I stumbled into the dark part of youtube lol
Can't wait for upcoming Beta release bugs/crashes/etc!!! Should be entertaining at least....
ok im a little peeved. i thought all we had to do was submit something to the echo and i did submit a metal-rich planet scan along with some other trifles the other day but I just discovered the community goal page on the mission board and it says what i contributed was insufficient for reward...watching your video I was under the impression that anything submitted would be rewarded but this is apparently not the case..i will try to get some more scans done to submit but i'm a bit bummed bc i had to travel close to 200LY to make the first submission
I would take fixed netcode over any content update anytime.
Bring back the Titans!
TBH it is just a new thing for billionaire players to spend money on. Just like late stage capitalism, ignores the average person (player).
You have no idea of what you talk about... People now live better than ever...
What an odd comparison. I have just under 5 billion and already have a FC so if Fdev bring this in its an incentive to get me to play more...I have more money than I need currently...I've already given 2 or 3 mates ALOT of money to get em going via my FC and getting them to sell me Tritium.
As long as it isn't gonna flop as hard as Odyssey, since the game finally has some players again
It's not the update for me as it's dustier than Braben's wallet, but I'm glad new large scale expansions are a regular occurence now. Playing spreadsheets with the BGS bores me to tears, but It gives me hope that at some point they will introduce or overhaul things I really spend my time on in game.
What do you think the odds are that elite dangerous and star citizen merge into one super space game? It would seem to me that would fix both games' major issues. Elites player headcount and star citizens lack of completion of product. Any thoughts?

Cool, still no support for next gen consoles for Odysseys or like this. I would love to be on planets or fly through gas giants on XSX.
It sucks that it's only for PC. I could play it again but it isn't fun anymore without new update or contents since support is gone.
At least No Man's Sky finally got us to access to Gas Giants exploration in Worlds Part 2. That should be valuable lesson to developers for Elite Dangerous, all they need is to put effort on next gen console only.
Can someone break this down for me ? What does it mean that I have a system ? Do I get profit ? Can BGS wizards take control of my settlements, factions ?
I've tried to get back into elite but to be honest the only wayfor me to get captivated again by elite if they just would implement on foot vr.
I don't even need to use my vr controllers an xbox controller would be good enough but fdev is deaf for the vr enthousiast
Anything less than 200ly makes me uninterested in the feature. No deep space colonies, just a slightly bloated bubble
Don’t really care for colonisation I would rather more life forms and maybe different alien cultures. I don’t think this is going to be fun and will ruin the experience of exploring. The only benefit will be more bases to raid which will get boring very quickly. As for the BGS it won’t matter for me as I’m not interested in power play or factions.
You are not alone. I also do not hyped for this. Seems like a new useless way to grind.
they litterally need to add on foot in out ship
