Looking forward to seeing what the updated version of power play will entail. As with all things FDev though, seeing is believing and I will wait to see before committing to any assumptions.

X4 does ship interiors and NPC given quests. Why can't elite? Sigh*

If base building is in the future, I will require an unlimited number of pants because I'm going to crap in all of them. My base will be extraordinary.

I was using the FSS scanner today, and one of the scanned planets mentioned something about Not Sutable For Terraforming....hmmmm

Yes, let us build new orbital stations and planetary bases!

Although a LOT 0o work, I would like to see a player run economy. As you were saying that these bases could be plants to manufacture from raw. We could even take contracts to build weapon systems or brakes even. I think that would definitely make this a forever game. Base building without some purpose is just that, just buy a carrier. Also I would really like to see outposts or small starports get fitted with a docking clamp for big ships, or let us land a SLF. A lot of missions come from these small outposts. o7

I doubt they'd do ship interiors, however, one feature they COULD add, and this is a stretch.... EVA

I think if Seo Jin-ae were to become a Thargoid queen, they'd hafta borrow Selene Stardragon for a bit.

new feature should be the slow expansion of settled stsr systems. the bubble should grow by itself.

The *whole* Thargoid story arc has left me completely cold. I much preferred the old school hyperdictions. Ditto 'Risk in Space' (PP). More ships and atmospheric planets with floral and fauna would be my wish. And yet more ships, more SRVs and hula girl bobbleheads. Obviously!

I really hope they add a way to build your own ground port that operates much like fleet carriers, but have it so you can have a self sustaining port, and then have it so other factions form around you (unless you're in deep deep space). Depending on you income/ value would decide how many people/ factions come towards you. This would make it so we can expand the bubble, and evenly we'd have stations dedicated to the players who devoted so much time in the game; almost as if we were are own heroes conquering space. I think having other NPC factions and superpowers come into play is very important to make it so the CMDR owns the station, not the system. Have them look and be labeled as if they were normal ports. I just like the idea of coming back in a decade and having a whole society around me, and having my name somewhere. (I know you have the "first discovered" and stuff, but those are labels/ titles and hold no inherit meaning/ value to them.) This would also reward the dedicated players... the truly dedicated players who see this game as more than a game. Imagine having kids who play Elite Dangerous (whatever version they're on) and them docking at your station. Refueling knowing they're docked at a port that exist only because their elders worked for it. It brings a new level of immersion to the game, a whole new meaning to the game. We might not be able to explore the Cosmos and find new Frontiers in our lifetime, but we can in game.

It's all just bullshit story crap. When will VR be fixed? When can we land on an atmospheric planet? Been waiting for a decade for that. Elite Dangerous is finished.

Wait, what are the other 2 new ships in 2024..? I can only think of the Python Mk2 and Type-8? Great content as usual o7

If the new feature is NOT being able to walk around your ship physically, then the update does not matter.

I hope PowerPlay will still be accessible in solo. I wouldn't like to be forced into PVP.

I doubt it would be the new feature, but I think it would be cool if there were things to do in station interiors like some form of gambling ala KOTOR (pazaak) or Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (8 ball/ Poker Dice).

Ship interiors, ship interiors, ship interiors. There, I've said it three times. It should appear soon 😅

I'm personally frustrated that people often talk about PP2.0 as either "open-only" or "status-quo". Why does no one mention "open-weighted"? I think it's a good compromise that would give us the much-wanted competitive epic PvP dogfights, while allowing casual players to still participate and slightly influence PP2.0. I hope this option gets more mention so people don't think there's only the former two options.

If it's not base building and player factions then what is even the point of Elite at this stage? Those two features alone would cement this games place for a long time to come.

I would love to see base building! It only makes sense that if we're going to explore the galaxy that we can colonize it as well.

I'm down, I'm nit sure a base needs anytning a carrier ownee can't get for themselves, but I could see gaining X thing takes Y reasources regularly and folks getting togeather for those supply runs. Trick is that will put a ceeling on what can actually be done. Will be interesting to see.

My hope for base building is the ability to build them wherever the terrain allows, outside a certain radius around already built stations. Different radius depending on whether it's a player base or npc base. We've got billions of full size planets at our disposal. Running out of real estate is not at all an issue. I also hope there'd be no limit to how many bases a player can create, or rather, a generous limit to how many one can create on a single planet, but no limit overall.

This is not the midpoint of the war. These eight titans are just a vanguard. I do not have the knowledge to justify this, just a gut feeling.

I completely forgot about her.

Love that you record and publish your videos in 21:9 - just got a new display and love it when videos utilize it :)

Perhaps I’m being woefully optimistic, but I do wonder CarPlay 2.0 and maybe this new feature could be part of an effort to more tightly integrate background simulation-related functionality. Which very well may include the BGS itself at some point.

if you want base building, no mans sky is over there, best of luck to you.

I hope you're right!

I really hope you're right, but I can't help feeling that it's not as vast or adventurous as it needs to be to re-ignite life and interest back in to Elite Dangerous.

I agree it will be base building. The assets already exist in game, making it an easier process than if it were something requiring the assets to be designed from scratch etc.

i really dont like the idea of making powerplay open only, primarily because the main argument that i see in favor of doing that takes into account that obviously solo and group players can affect open play without having to take on any of the risk that open players do, but fails to take into account that it's not one sided. yeah, solo/group players can affect open play, but they're affecting it on all sides. it's not like all solo players play for the federation or something. the distribution of allegiances is probably basically the same as it is on open. so therefore the solo/group players are evenly affecting the powerplay game. i think that it's fair as it is, and it doesnt incentivize or disincentivize open play, which is honestly how it should be, because some of us just want to play with our friends and dont have any interest in dealing with other players outside of that, and its a little unfair of the most likely smaller pvp community to try and force us to play their game, rather than the one that we actually want to play, just to be able to interact with a large part of the simulation that we paid money for too. making the two run on separate servers is honestly even worse than just having solo/group be unable to influence powerplay, because a big selling point of the game is the simulation to me, the fact that this huge galaxy is affected by player action and various other things and is persistent across all gamemodes. no matter what you're doing you're still in the same galaxy as everyone else. having open be separate would kinda ruin that sense of immersion and continuity when switching between modes for me. it'd also fragment the community between open and solo, with the two servers having wildly different looking galaxies. i dont think there's any reasonable way to do what people want done here, without screwing over solo/group players in some way. and honestly in my personal opinion the arugments i see in favor of locking powerplay to open only really do come across as people being upset that there isnt as many people playing open as they'd like, and wanting to push people over to that mode. and i really dont like that mentality. the best argument i've seen in favor of it is that powerplay is explicitly designed to be a PVP thing, and thats great, it makes sense. but i fail to see how people engaging in it through solo and group arent in a roundabout/by proxy way still participating in that PVP. i mean think about it, they're still taking and losing territory from other players, the only difference is they're taking and losing it through PVE combat. take this hypothetical situation; you have one group of PVE players working to expand their factions influence in x territory, and then another group of PVE players goes and contests that territory. the two groups of players are effectively still fighting eachother, just through the proxy of PVE. i really dont see the issue there other than that some people are mad basically from the angle of 'well I play in PVP so THEY should have to as well!', basically just complaining that something isn't fair because the PVE players arent choosing to do the optional thing that PVP players again CHOSE to do.

I will say this to FDEV, make Powerplay open only and I for one won't participate. And I'm not alone.

I really hope base building is in. I hope we get to configure the bases a bit as well to make them unique even if they're only modular.

Love the base building thesis. It makes perfect sense. Having a carrier to transport bulk materials in this case would be key IMO. The thought of being able to build a base out of the bubble is super enticing. It's how humanity could expand through the entire Galaxy and would play into the Thargoid war as Humanity expands into areas of Thargoid control that are currently unknown. It would give the game a different dimension and, for someone like me that really isn't interested in the bug war, would drag me into the Thargoid war whilst keeping me happy to contribute. Think about building a base on an ELW and seeding the colonization of that.... I hope your theories are right Cmdr. Thanks! o7

6:12 I kinda want Seo to become another galactic power

Isn't this new future be the new FSD? the SCO FSD and its boost?

I hope for a possibility to land on more types of planets, but base building or ships interiors (for people who want to treat their ship as a mobile base) would make me happy as well. Well, we will see. I'm just glad that SOMETHING is finally happening,

I would love to see PowerPlay 2.0 used as a chance to add some more modules to the game. Adding Jerome (while keeping Hudson on the roster) with an enhanced HRP a la Prismos (some steps would need to be taken to reduce their effectiveness with shields, something like an interference value). Numbers like a 700% hull boost for C5 seem to give good numbers, given you have to sacrifice your shields (or at least most of them). Salvation with a Guardian FSD, boasting 300% increased optimized mass but with increased heat and boot time plus half the max fuel. It would also be incompatible with the booster, incurring a roughly 50% increase to jump range on a stripped Anaconda while freeing up a C5 slot from the booster and greatly increasing total range on a tank (nearly triple). Seo Jin could get a tractor beam like the Thargoids use, slower and less capable than a limpet controller with less range and a collection arc but removing the need to have limpets. Halving the speed for limpets (both single target and multi target, going from 200m/s and 60m/s to 100 and 30 respectively) with both turret and gimbaled (turret would give a full 180° arc but have less range and more power draw while gimbal has a 90° cone from the hatch). I image they would drain SYS while active and be bound to a fire group, single target would incur much higher SYS draw but have more than 3x the speed. Reel speed is relative to the ship so a beam can’t be broken by moving out of range. It could also be used against ships, though shields would lessen the effect and it wouldn’t be very powerful. More an emergency thing to stop a tumbling ship that has no thrusters.

So much to speculate about that it becomes impossible to explore through a simple comment on RUclips. Regarding the issue of the Thargoids, I agree with you... I don't think FDev invested so much in this aspect of the game to simply throw everything in the trash after the end of the war, they must have something up their sleeve. However, I sincerely hope that this is not the new feature that has been talked about... to be frank, I have participated in the war effort against the goids, having already killed a good few hundred of them, but I am not the biggest fan of this aspect of the game, I prefer other things. I'm holding out a secret hope that the new feature is actually base building... and if it is, a lot of possibilities open up. What was said in the video, about the bases being able to enable player factions to develop economies around different resources, whether raw materials, data or manufactured goods, would be an excellent start to a new life for our game. And I bet this aspect would attract a lot of new players, perhaps even players who have no special interest in space simulation games, but who love base building and RTS games. The only thing I've always said, and continue to say, is that Elite Dangerous has almost infinite potential for development and expansion, I really think it's a pot of gold for FDev, waiting to be explored! We'll wait and see what happens, but I'm excited and looking forward to the near future. o7 cmdrs... and fly dangerously!

i hope its atmospheric planets, with water or clouds etc.

I think all of those Permit locked systems out near the witch head nebula have Titans in them, and that will become the new place to go to engage in all of these Thargoid game loops. I'm hoping that the new Power Play will have nothing to do with Anti Xeno combat, and is a whole new way of looking at the game. The attack on the Achilles Aerospace facility suggests that after the Thargoid War ends, the next plot line might be Corporate War related. With that Galnet report definitely feeling like the opening salvo in something significant. The army of bio zombies would be the worst case scenario as far as I'm concerned, it's such a hackney'd trope by now, I'd hate to see Elite try a move into the survival horror genre.

DLC inbound me thinks 🤔

i think its useful and practical ship interior gameplay

Please bring back some new items in the consoles. Don't just dismiss us. This may be a chance to go a different way in a story . (Please send to the devs )

I don't want base building. I want more reasons to explore gallaxy.

I imagine basebuilding would tie in with Squadrons or faction play but then there's the closure of player faction applications that basically waters the idea down. I love the idea, and there would be plenty ways to monetize basebuilding for FDev via cosmetics for base modules/parts. I imagine people who build bases would be more inclined to play in open if their bases have some sort of relationship with powerplay

cheers!

Base building and general system development are really needed at this point, surely by this point, humanity should have colonised more than just a few isolotaed spots other than the bubble.

Would love to see base building, would keep me busy for many hours 😆

Base Building would favor Org Gameplay mostly as it would mean the acquisition of territory that a Clan / Org would control and administer. Solo and group play WITHIN a Clan or Org Controlled system would probably play out much the same as it does in the rest of the game. Everyone becomes a winner in some form or other.
