Don’t wait until 2025. It’s now to get into the game. I haven’t seen so many players in open in a long time.

Awsome they really needed this! I realy hope players can start there own factions, build up systems and join power play as a contender. Include custom faction lore and a.i ship types with paints that spawn for your systems n this game would make an epic comeback. Looking forward to seing that massive starmap be used!

Been enjoying Elite came back to check out the last patch & was sure nice to see all my engineered ships still there after some years away. Seeing that galaxy map put a smile on my face after looking at Stanton for so long

Why did it take 10 years + to introduce base building?

After more than 3000 hours invested in the game frontier told its players that they were not going to follow through with the promise that you would be able to walk through your ship. Telling us that we thought it was something we wanted but we didn't really want it and we would get bored with it. They also previously had told us that we didn't want millennium falcon turrets and the third joke of multi-crew was much better than a first person turret experience. They were very wrong on both counts and many other things. Unless they magically figured out a way to decrapify the Cobra engine so that we can walk through our ships and do the things that they promised us so long ago... They will never get me back. I was an apologist and supporter for far too long. Best of luck to you but I am definitely not interested in elite dangerous content until they follow through on their promises.

That all sounds great. I can't believe ED is going to beat SC to base building.

I have my own faction in the game in ways of a minor faction i made long ago but all my friends i made it with quit... While i don't have direct control of it, it's definitely kept me engaged over the years. I just hope they expand on this, so i can at least do something more for them.

Rather than more faction or community stuff though... we need better SOCIAL content. Social content matters a lot, Lots of players but i can't drink at the bar with a friend. Or share a ship to explore together, live inside our ship out there. Interiors matter, and so do small silly interactions.

I look forward to colonizing in the name of my minor faction, but social systems could do with implementation.

The most socializing i've seen in this game is someone in the chat calling others a slur for being engaged in pvp. But if those guys could get drunk in the bar and be generally socially stupid, then they'd probably be laughing instead or connecting and becoming allies.

There's so many players yet it's lonely. I guess space is lonely but, it doesn't have to be *that* realistic.

Hm. I am absolutely with you.
But without a platform the way will be... interesting. To say it friendly.
I do not need to point at any specific platform that is rising.
It is enough to point at a faster and faster dwindling windows market share in a private surrounding.
Everything makes more sense than windows in terms of elite. And especially on the VR side where you would think ED would be it is nowhere to be seen. They are a victim of their own inhouse engine that is not flexible enough to deal with a scattered market.
As long as they do not go at minimum the route of NMS the glide will continue.
And with things like Starship Simulator or Star Citizen closing in it is hard to see ED pulling up.

[thelionsam]

probably not player bases you can design and walk around in like Starfield or Fallout 4...
They used the words 'system architect' so you'll be placing settlements and stations rather than designing them.

BTW erad.... exobiology can make billions on first footfall planets!

Happy flying mate!

[sleepfishl]

I left the game because of the extremely boring planet generation in Odyssey. It pretty much ruined my gameplay as an explorer. As long as they don't make the planet generation "less smooth" and less boring, I won't have a reason to get back.

[teambattleground]

I came back because Star Citizen will be a nothing burger for a few more years

[SABATAZH]

[MurderousNoise]
