[AndyFM]

The man himself, Lord Braben, posted up a short while ago on the FD forums that Horizons, all being well, will be available on the 15th Dec (next Tuesday).

I haven't had access to the beta myself, but have been watching plenty of streams on Twitch. Can't wait to get my hands on an SRV!

Sod the sand-buggy, all I care about is 1.5!

- SHOULD be same day, but then again, this is FD we're talking about

Woooop I've been saving my pennies for all the splats on planets insurance claims !

But I've been grinding fed rep and still not had a progression mission to get me to petty officer - was hoping to land somewhere in SOL namely Titan wish I could see a progress bar to know that I'm close to getting the mission spawn

6 sleeps to go!!!

There's a reply from Michael Brookes in that thread saying the Xbox will get 1.5 same day (link), so I'm assuming that 1.5/Horizons will both be on 15th. (1.5 ... 15th... any connection )

This is unless the 'Yes' in that reply is that xbox/pc will be getting 1.5 on the same date, but not actually confirming that that date is the 15th (bit of a politicians answer if it is this though).

I've learned how 'dangerous' it can be to make assumptions

I did scan a bit of that thread and found this GEM from one of our own, before I got sickened by all the fanboy syrup...

I'm amazed that everyone appears to have overlooked the most important question. First we had Elite: Dangerous and now we have Horizons. So what should it really be called?

Elite Dangerous: Horizons, Elite: Dangerous Horizons or Elite: Dangerous: Horizons?

As someone who knows how important it is to look after your colon, I really want to know!

[AndyFM]

Yeah, assuming can lead to unfulfilled expectations, unfulfilled expectations leads to nerd rage, nerd rage leads to the dark side. or something along those lines.

I thought it was always stated that 1.5/2.0 would ship at the same time, as all the 1.5 content is built into 2.0 anyway? Probably just me overly reading into a passing comment by someone at FD.

That has been said, but I'm not allowing m'sel to get het up about it until it's actually installed & working on this PC.

- Even then, really it's just lipstick on a pig.

I am still considering if the Corvette is worth it with such low jump range.... I made it to Post Commander hope it will be enough if I decide to sell the conda for that

Indeed, but on another note - Squeeeeeeeee

Well I think they are going to have to work around the clock till then....

Because there are some real big bugs in horizons.....Especially graphic glitches.....
