The Elite Playstation guys over at /r/ElitePS on reddit are asking cmdrs to fill in a small questionnaire to figure out the general composition of the ED community.
Hi Everyone,
Beta is going very well – the team have been working hard and have made great progress. Thanks to all those that have been helping us – a great many improvements have been included already, with another update (Beta 5) expected tomorrow, with more tweaks and changes.
We have worked very hard to ensure forward & backward compatibility so that all players of both seasons can play in the same galaxy together.
After every Elite Dangerous release we have taken care to listen and reacted to all feedback, and Elite Dangerous: Horizons will follow exactly the same process. Included with Horizons will be multiple expansions of which Planetary Landings will be the first.
All going well, we plan to launch Horizons with Planetary Landings on Tuesday (15th December – you heard it here first!). This will initially be termed an ‘Early Access’ release to highlight our normal process to our broad audience, some of whom have been with us since the start, but many have joined our community very recently.

Mike Evans and Ed Ship Launched Fighters
Gonna be able to have up to 4 Fighters ACTIVE at a time (in your ship etc)
Design Challenge – WHY would u go in to a fighter?
Probably be considered disposable
Glass Cannons
AI Controlled Fighter
Not all ships will be able to have them, maybe a Python Can’t but a T9 can
Are we neural linking or physically moving into the fighter? Still in debate but Mike is leaning towards Neural link since their considered disposable
Mark Allen is Mike’s favourite programmer 🙂
Ships of 1.5
Why is the cutter so bad? — Well that’s your opinion… No Ship can be the be all and end all though
Did they update the Cobra Mk 4 due to popular opinion? NO the Mk 4 has so much more going for it with it’s better power / weapons etc that boosting it’s speed and maneuverability would make it OP
Cutter maneuverability it’s very fast for its size but that speed comes at a cost (Best speed of 232 so it’s much faster than Conda and Corvette) It’s a very iterative design.
Doesn’t like his opinions on knee jerk reactions
Mike’s original favourite ship was the Eagle and likes the Viper Mk4. He likes the Corvette out of the bigger ships. He’s not a fan of the Empire’s curves more a Federal Man 😀
Sandy and Ed – Loot and Crafting
Personalise and Customise their ships. Makes them ‘Cooler’
Visit the ‘custom Mechanic’ (currently) to ‘pimp your ship’
Can upgrade Modules
He requests materials and resources
Upgrade FSD, Weapons, Shields
There’s a range of module upgrades
Could be some benefits – but ALSO a downside too
Some ‘awesome new effects’
Difficult to balance
More materials coming
The are considering ‘station based storage – but no time soon and no promises!
