Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Thanks, Xebeth!

Ach, that roadmap for Horizons, while useful, kinda disappoints me in a way. Hope they're planning on doing Vanilla ED updates along the way, at least for ships and stuff.

Update, there is a new version of the newsletter here

Looks like they missed the bit about the new sales method

I wonder what the last horizon update will be, atmosphere landings? Planets with volcanism?

2.3 'The Commanders' is the release I'm most looking forward to. I think this is when the game will become really alive. Being able to identify with your character and others around you, interact with them, instead of a boring textual interface will be a defining moment of this game!

I am also hoping that this will lead to better interactions with NPC's too. If the Commander Creator has as many options as FDev have suggested then I think it could be a great way to add a little more depth with the random NPC's as well as the mission givers comming in the next release.

Thargoids?

I thought that, but I wonder if they will do full atmo planet landings first? Then it gives maximum playground for a Thargoid story line?

Maybe, or they could build up to that. Start with in space battles/contacts, then in a later seasons start adding forays onto Thargoid worlds.

Or it might simply be that there are a couple of different things coming and they're not sure which one will be ready in time at the moment.
