The plan is to make everything landable eventually, even Earth. Mars has a breathable atmosphere and life on it though, so it's way down the road.

Have they hinted what the next big thing is after Horizons/Season 1? I'm guessing walkable ships/stations probably?

If you get interdicted by security just submit. When they start to scan you target them and deploy hard points, this seems to stop the scan. Then you can just run away with your missions intact. Although the sensible way to make slave money is never to even leave Robigo and just scam the bulletin board. I'm up about 350m from doing this so far.

You think maybe that's deliberate? It's one way to stop Space Romney's dominating the CG's with their Anacondas.

tooterfish posted:No. We've got a vague idea, but nothing concrete. My guess is they'll do atmospheres first, then maybe water worlds, then ambulatory stuff. Life bearing planets is probably going to be dead last, because you need all that other stuff just to get started on them. That makes sense I suppose. Ambulatory stuff will have a lot behind it since there really isn't anything to do right now even if you could walk around stations. Having more stuff you can buy for your ship at vendor stalls would be cool, I guess. I think I remember Braben saying the goal was for you to be able to land on a random planet and go hunt animals and poo poo so that'd be neat. I want to go hunt Space Buffalo or something. I guess that's the plan with Star Citizen too, but at least Elite exists?

They're putting the character creator in Horizons, that might mean they're gearing towards at least some walking around gameplay first.

Astroniomix posted:It didn't stop us with the Christmas CG. If this new CG works like all the other station-build CGs it's for another station somewhere else, which will only be added later, after the CG is over. I know this is kind of stating the obvious, but I for the life of me can't interpret what you wrote differently, so apparently you didn't know this.  (On the other hand, it would be nice if there were some sort of space building site and you had to fly over there to drop your metals. Programming shouldn't be an issue, there are already those annoying NPCs who want to buy your stuff, just copy + paste that for this kind of thing and Frontier should be good.)

The system is LHS 3447 and the new station will be closer to the jump in point than the existing ones.

I sure hope this isn't Frontier's way of saying "Oh poo poo, we don't know how to implement short jumps" and instead starting to plaster new, closer stations everywhere. The next station will be Hutton Orbital 2.0, hanging around the sun at 0,22 ls

Then you can just run away with your missions intact. Don't stop to do this before running, because it doesn't work 100% of the time. Do it while you're already boosting away, as an extra measure. Unless you're planning to turn and shoot, your first move in an interdiction should always be to start putting that magic 1.5km between you and the scanner. Can someone write an idiot's guide to spoofing the Robigo board? There's been a lot of excellent tips itt from Bman and others, but no one's consolidated it all yet.

So Frontier is considering naming planets, suns, stations as a microtransaction. Interesting. quote:The development team are now hard at work on “The Engineers” - the next major expansion in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons season, so as we did in previous releases we’re taking a break from Michael’s regular weekly dev updates. Also sneak peeks coming are back!

Thanks for the advice and links - EDDB in particular is incredibly helpful. Upgraded to an Adder, and with a cluster of courier/trading missions that all kept me in the same general area, I've finally hit the six-digit credits mark, in spite of my constantly plowing all available credits into upgraded ship modules because drat, the gap between E rank modules and D rank modules is huge. Now I've gotta figure out what to do with that 200k credits.

I would only be down with naming stars if it only applied to procedural ones. I'd rather keep the real star names and catalog designations.

Your Loyal Vizier posted:I've never seen cops at an outpost, they're totally devoid of security. Presumably for this reason. You know what's fun? You take a smuggling mission and don't get interdicted at all for like an hour. The target system doesn't even have any cops anywhere near you on the scanner, and certainly not coming in your direction. When you get to your target station you're completely alone, the scanner is empty. NIce! So you drop into normal space, and then 5 seconds later a magic teleporting space cop drops in behind you and scans you before you can dock.

Like literally warped in as I had my landing gear out and I was about to finish touching down on the pad. There was literally nothing I could have done to stop the scan from finishing, I wasn't even mad. Just dumbfounded that something like that could happen.
