Unapologetically stolen from CMDR Cosmos' thread on the FD forum here
Anything in italics I have added
Stream is available to watch here, interesting stuff happens at about 4h:40m
• New hotrod skins. Eagle, Cobra, FDL, Conda. (EDIT -possibly only for people attending the event though?)
• FDEV will support calls for the expansion of a Jaques bubble. (EDIT - possible new human bubble?)
• CGs out of Jaques CGs. Will run month long (because so few are out there)
• In Game Commander Journal in 2.2 An actual content announcement. Journal will dump to text file for TP apps
• Tourism Destinations - Very far distances away. Have objects to be scanned to confirm arrival.
• Tionisla Orbital Graveyard in game after 2.2
• "Karma System" possible in future for Hostile Player Commanders ganking newbies.
• Engineer Rebalance before 2.1. More drops. Easier to find. "We made it too harsh"
• More ship kits are definitely coming. "Ask the marketing people"
• Multicrew for multiplayer. NPC crew hires not on the cards.
• Asteroid Bases? Not anytime soon.
• Improve the base game damnit! All stations look the same. Same advertisers! Same Yellow trucks! "GamesCom" (EDIT - something to be announced at Gamescon?)
• Crossplatform multiplayer? Not anytime soon. (EDIT - i.e. XBOX and PC playing together, sounded like the issues are on Microsoft's side)
• Jumpgates to get to Jaques? No.
• Beluga Liner for 2.2 "Wait and see"
• Improved Plot Routing - More to say later.
• Instancing Issues? Working on it. Please give us reports. Please give us network logs for all players.
• Ship Naming? "Highly desirable feature"
• Formadine Rift? "Big galaxy and we want to fill it with interesting things"
• HTC Vive Updates? "On the list" (EDIT - FD said it was in the deeper code but they are working on it)
• PP Faction Decals? Speak to Zac. For DG guys. Nothing to say about existing PP powers
• We will take a gun-ports closed attitude to whatever aliens that may come (ala the Myrmidons). Will it have an effect? "Depends. What can you do against a superpower without guns?"
• CG God Intervention? "Yes. The effect of a few players was disproportionate to the efforts of thousands. We will be changing lockdown thresholds" (EDIT - this refers to the recent FD intervention in a community goal)
• Questioner was about this. FDEV advised they won't be doing this again going forward. IE Founders' current situation (EDIT - FD said the CG was a specific problem, they haven't interfered with the lock-down of founders world)
• Formadine Rift? Can it be found? "Talk to Drew"
• Guildtags? "Highly desireable" (EDIT - i.e. being able to show that you are for instance part of the Order of Mobius to other players)
• BGS Faction Retreat Destroying BGS Factions? "Yes, but I won't preempt any possible future announcements, but factions can never retreat from their home systems"
• Killing Commanders not effecting Combat Rank? "Uh, that sounds like a bug"
• Can intelligent life be found. "All life findable with a few notable exceptions is ground based... will be expanded on in future"
• Hey dawg, remember that art book kickstarter goal? "Uh, we're onto it"
• Better VR Support in Galaxy Map? "Nothing to say yet"
• Can I turn slaves into sausages "Probably not"
• What happened to the space cats from Elite "Wiped or or not sentient in the first place - whichever answer you prefer"
• Rise of the Alliance? MB: "I think they're a bit shady honestly"
• Passive Resource Collection? Passive Mine Rigs? "No plans"
• Community Content? Ship Builder? Mission Builder? No.
• Big Ships docking at Outposts? Extra large ships with Stations? "We can do it. We can have large ship docking at Outposts now. It's a intended design drawback"
• Remote Summon Ships "No Comment at this stage"
