From Edward Lewis:

Elite: Dangerous Release Time
Hi,

Just a quick note to let everyone know we are working towards making Elite: Dangerous 1.0 available for download at midday GMT tomorrow (16.12.14).

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us, participated in the early access, and made tomorrow’s release possible.

See you out there, Commanders.

Bah...beat me to it!

I've got the afternoon off so that works out nicely. He says with huge optimism that he'll be able to download it and that the servers won't curl up and die instantly.

I believe the appropriate response goes something like "Squeeee!"

Or ........yea ok.......

Wonder if there'll be any surprise additions? Either way, hurray!

Tempted to jump on Open to watch all the new CMDRs xD

This is it, a whole year of training since Alpha and I still fly like a fried haddock being flung through space by a catapult. I didn't think I would be very excited about today but I actually am. Really looking forward to the full release and the turmoil that is about to hit my beloved Empire.

Start the countdown Commanders......

I was exploring over 500LY from Sol last night but managed to get back to within 150 just in case any shenanigans are occurring for launch day. I'll probably hang around known space for a week or so to meet and greet the new influx.

So excited!

I was planning on sitting in the Spaceport watching the new Commanders hone their landing skills, should be entertaining.

Now that sounds like a laugh? Count me in, I gotta full crate of KingGoblin in the fridge.

I can't even load the site, as I write this. GMT -6 time here (Central US).
Getting a 503 Backend Fetch Failure.
Not surprising.
