Its by design, you can freely switch modes how you like ... and its awesome, its stupid, its freedom of choice, its the biggest bullshit and I guess there were used all existing adjectives in all world languages ... in countless posts & threads not only at FD site. There are daily hundreds of posts about this. Next to this you forget private groups option where can be set 'rules' like no PvP except combat zones like have 'known' group Mobius with almost 20k members. In open you will find newbie…

Sorry, but it will apply for 1.6 as well, its linked much more with core game as horizons dlc.

(Quote) Missions systems is only one and I have read also about significant changes to NPCs AI. These two things are linked with core game. Commander creation should be in 2.3 (and this dunno if is for core game).

Dev Update (11/02/16) and reply to horizons/core game is here in this post: Dev Update (11/02/16) - Page 2 And this post is also interesting: Dev Update (11/02/16) - Page 4 (money rewards for missions)

Dev Update (18/02/16) ... it really starts looking very interesting

They are adding (finally) logical content inside systems. USS (unidentified signal sources) will be part of it - i.e. they will be not only randomly spawn like now. And scanning, hmm .. new use for scanners equipment? ... you will not need drop out of SC to find out what it is, myself like this idea.

There was patch which removed from AI use of "self-crafted" special weapons version. But all other is in place and NPCs now really shot back (1.6/2.1). I play almost all the time in open, using in last days mining anaconda or scavenger python build and I need to say I enjoy NPCs how are they now ... its now really dangerous in space and you need to think good what you are able to do by yourself, if is not better use one cargo less and increase defence or if is not good idea cooperate with other…

Misunderstanding. You as basic game owner will get updated menu, features, missions etc. What you will not have is access to engineers (and ability to work on upgrading ship modules) bcs engineers bases are all on planets surfaces. ... you not need upgrading ship modules for play, its playable (imo) without it.

I give example ... you can explore with anaconda and jump range 30 ly on basic game or with horizons spent bigger time working on upgrades and then jump 40-50 ly. Horizons give something new, but only if you decide put serious effort to it. Some still may see it as unfair, but well, its in the end FD decision. Myself have no issue with such approach, ... I get used to spent some my moneys on things which I enjoy, and counting moneys/time in game its imo quite fair, I get allot fun for all moneys…

But hey, the best is simply start basic ED and slowly look on in-game changes. I suggest put on your ship more defence and be prepared for serious need to use 'pips' management and that NPCs are now not easy for shot. Last update added to core game really allot.

@Gibbon ... try mines on trader

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)yes, Horizons player CAN have advantage over guy owning only core game. Is it fair? ... putting aside what I think about "fair word meaning" it imo fair is (yes, "fair" is very personal evaluation imo). FD never promised that ED core game owners will have the same "chances" how to play ED and that they will not get disadvantages when confronted with "next" season owner. Plus they need to have some way how to "financing" running game, its maintenance & further development…

oki is good to know that ED servers should be able running long time. But seriously, planets looks great, much nicer in 2.1. Last time I spent few hours flying in canyons and then used SRV to get some nice views from engineer base. It adds to 'dark' space rly alot if you only want relax. And in groups its even better.

hmm, damn, I must play another game then ... I'm casual player as well, can play 2, max 3 times in week. So far I was only once close to death and it was situation when I decided (it was my situation evaluation fail) with my scavenger Python to kill deadly Anaconda. In the end I successfully fled with 20% hull while conda had still around 70%. Yes, I now use ship builds with little more defence, usually adding one shield bank (instead cargo module) but whole play with NPCs makes much more sense…

CZs .. need to evaluate (should be today, will see). Was advised to me ship with better shield (will go for FDL and discard FAS which shield is very poor and now you rly need to keep shield up. High-RES: combat was very smoothly going thanks to local FEDs. Actually easy way how to make money from combat.

OK, CZs (high) are nicely doable solo if you will do not play a "hero" and do not rush alone on few red ones. Jump into CZ, make little distance, pick side. Then start kill these red on borders or which are attacked. First round was warm-up .. 300k and all SB used. Second round was 1M plus 2 missions (1M and 500k). Fight was going nicely, sometimes attacked npc turned against you, sometimes fight with previous target. They do ramming, try over-turn you, use missiles etc .. but its (at least for…
