Es geht weiter....

Yeah, naja wiedermal ein Update welches für mich völlig uninteressant ist, leider....

Greetings Commanders,
We are pleased to announce that Chapter Two of the Beyond series of updates is right around the corner. In just under a month, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Alliance’s newest Chieftain variant: the Alliance Challenger. We’ve also got a selection of new wing missions, installation interactions, new settlements to explore and, to combat the ever-growing and ever-encroaching Thargoid threat, a cache of new Guardian weapons and technology from the Tech Brokers.

And… you’ll be able to explore it all for yourselves on June 28.

This is the first of the two smaller instalments coming as part of the Elite Dangerous Beyond series of updates, with a larger coming in Q4 of this year, bringing Squadrons and improvements to Mining and Exploration, and much more! If you’d like to contribute ideas and find out more about what’s coming in the Q4 update, please check out our Focused Feedback forums here.

Please find a summary of Chapter Two’s content below.

New Ship: Challenger
The Alliance continue to refine their warships in the face of the looming Thargoid threat. The Alliance Challenger, envisaged as a frontline combat vessel, has stronger armour than its Chieftain counterpart and will be able to soak up a significant amount of punishment.

Wing Missions
First introduced in Chapter One of Beyond, we are introducing a Wing Mining Missions for you and your fellow Commanders to take on!

Installation Interactions
In a similar fashion to the Megaship interactions, which were introduced in Chapter One, Commanders will now be able to scan and interact with Space Installations.

Scan – Scanning the installation will allow Commanders to see what they can interact with: Turrets, Comms Arrays and Cargo Bays.

Turret hack – Disable turrets protecting other potential hackable points. This will deactivate security measures put in place to protect the Comms Arrays and Cargo Bays.

Comms array – Get tradable data from the Comms Array.

Cargo bay – Fire a limpet on the Cargo Bay to unlock and steal commodities and materials.

Tech Broker
Tech Brokers will allow commanders to unlock large weapons versions of the existing guardian tech weapons. These Tech Brokers will issue blueprint requests to collect Guardian data as well as materials and then, once delivered, will unlock certain Guardian modules of weapons for purchase. Will you turn you weapons on Thargoid or use them to pirate rival Commanders?

Thargoid
Thargoids continue to be an intergalactic menace! With the Alliance introducing a new ship, the Thargoids intend to up their game too, introducing new Scouts that will buff other Scouts and increase their combat efficiency.

uhhh... dieses Wochenende ist ja auch Lavecon.... ein CMDR hat sich die mühe gemacht mal ein bissel was zu den Panels zu notieren..

Some quick notes... updating...

Mining - [VID]

New in-ring scanning mechanism to work out which asteroids are valuable and what they contain.

New asteroid looks (eyeballing opportunities?). [PIC][PIC][PIC][VID]

Sensor probes. Fire them around a planet (or rings) will follow a partially-guided orbit (parabolic arc). When close enough to surface will obtain data from large local area. They want you to 'paint' locations. (You can do 'trick shots' using gravity draw. IE you could hit the opposite side of a planet with skill). There will be 'mechanical rewards' [?] for doing efficiently, plus you'll want to do well to avoid synthesising probes all the time. [PIC][Vid][VID]

colour grade can adapt scenes depending on sun light and local events etc

Ice shaders look pretty sweet. 'Just one part' of the pass on ice planets. [Vid][VID]

Guardian Larges - shard cannon etc (+ human cannon).

Installations now have interactions like megaships + there will be damaged megaships in deep space

New locations (tharg infected human sites etc)

Challenger is a little bit more manoeuvrable than Chieftain as well as more hitpoints & a bit more armour. [VID]

Q&As

Will surface scanners find the crashed ships etc? Yes. [Any interesting site]

/missing/

How many elites do they have? Mark thinks he might be combat elite, but uses dev account mainly at mo.

/missing/

More immersive, same, or less in future? Especially re timers etc? Per case basis. Loaded term. Sometimes it's best to keep things instant. Cargo unload for example. Exploration + mining create a little bit of drama if there's time to breath.

Tharg attacks on stations. System response is poor, but if you turn up with Scouts they react. When an official in-game thing? -Wait and see.

More jaggedy [?] shapes in the ice planets. Work on that? Yes. WIP. Not every environment, but we showed that image for a reason.

New lighting. Impact? Zero impact. [? poss misunderstood this]

Multi point / star lighting? Currently not on schedule. Have looked at it.

Comets? Sandy doesn't know. Are looking at it. Concepts and challenges. Nothing to announce for Q4. We keep going.

Humans on moon first or SRVs on the moon? Couldn't tell you.

Plans to improve signal sources

Lightning bolts in an atmosphere? Safe to say it's 'environments'. It's within the vacuums of space. No atmospheres. No gas giants. Cheekies...

Explorations data affecting expansion depending on faction given to? Looking at tweaks and changes to BGS. Nothing to advance re schedule / Q4.

/missing/

Ship specific modules for explorers / miners / traders? Started with passenger / military modules. Fair bet to say there will be role based modules / specific slots.

When SRV in multicrew? Nothing to announce. Not yet. Sorry.

GPS for flying to specific co-ords? Have definitely discussed bookmarking system. Can't remember if it's scheduled to make Q4.

Poss to get triple elite decal? Can't remember when that's falling. Have discussed.

SolKutTeR · Jun 9, 2018

Wow das sieht echt Weltklasse aus, bekomme direkt Lust Elite mal wieder an zuschmeißen.
ObsidianAnt hat das ganze als Videoform aufgenommen.

Today at Lavecon Frontier revealed all new details about the new Exploration and Mining mechanics and also showed the new graphics system.

Die Eisfläche sieht ja mal absolut genial aus. Wenn das wirklich so im Spiel aussehen würde wär's echt mal wieder ein Grund ED zu spielen.

axacuatl · Jun 10, 2018

...aber bei der Eisfläche hätte ich sofort Angst, ob die gleich bricht...

Gregor Van Stroyny · Jun 18, 2018

Eine Frage: spielt hier jemand die "Elite" mit der Go? Wie ist es denn so? (toller Reim )
