The wording is interesting. It only says galaxy state, which makes me wonder if it only refers to the background simulation, community goals etc. as you get with open/private/solo; people on the Xbox One would see differences created by player influence in the PC/Mac world and vice versa, rather than Xbox One and PC players physically coexisting in the same game space.

A fiver says it won't
Good news guess you win a virtual fiver thenA fiver says it won't
Agreed, if the additional income is invested back into the game and additional content then I'm all for it!
Just read it is coming out on the Xbox One too, didn't see that coming, but good for the game since Frontier will have another revenue stream and incentive to keep working on the game.
PC, Mac and XBone in same universe.....
Not happy - what's happening with crossfire & SLI support?

why quote me, did not mention SLI/Crossfire
Because I (and I suspect everyone else that has it is) would rather they sort SLI/Crossfire first before jumping onto the XB One platform
I usually hate cross platform games but this isn't a AAA best seller so if we want to see continued support they need to sell more units.
Crossfire support needs to come from AMD via new driver as long as multi card in Elite engine which I assume it is as they keep banging on about how good 4k Elite is.....

Where will they make most money? XBone, where will they gear all future development towards? XBone, what will PC get? Sod all except a slow painful death and a **** poor console geared game that could have been an amazing Space sim sandbox. Sad, so very very sad but the call of the dollar always outweighs morals.
The only place I really see this being an issue is anything controller-related and even then, I don't see it being a significant problem. There are already too many functions within Elite: Dangerous to map to a standard console control. Perhaps we'll see some kind of HOTAS being released for consoles now? Otherwise, I highly doubt that it will cause any real difference to PC players. We already have shoddy netcode to begin with, but things like the graphics are very good for a PC game and there's no reason for content to differ between any of the platforms.
Seems like a bit of a dramatic reaction there, in all honesty.
Im not bothered either way about the Xbone version coming out, I'm much more interested in the Mac client, my only fear is this new announcement could delay the work being done on porting to Mac.
I don't think that would be the case. There should be less work in porting to Mac than to a console, so chances are they're going to want to get that out of the way first so they can pour more resources into getting it onto Xbox and then other consoles.
I'm now trying my best to wait for 1.2 to drop. Hopefully some of us can get together and do some pack hunting/group trade missions (or even piracy if anyone here is into that!) every now and then.
Got Interdicted by an NPC Python armed to the teeth yesterday – perhaps Anarchy systems are not as tame afterall! 
Already had minor damage (10%) from a RES incident (got double teamed by a couple of Cobras when talking on the phone) and was heading off to pickup some more rares for the start of a run.
We both got down to around 30% hull, one of my multi cannons got damaged and my cockpit started to crack, decided to bail and live to claim the 150k of bounties I had instead of risking paying out 175k in insurance.
Not paying attention will get you into trouble every time in this game, both times I took damage was down to getting distracted by either a phone call or conversation

Amen to that! how many times we all miss the throttle down because of a moment of distraction
Well I tried the rares run posted by Legend and it was pretty good. Around 1.2 million credits profit from under an hour's work. You can get that from going between stations in about the same time, but you feel like you're doing a bit more when you trade the rares.
ps. anyone know why Apsilon is suspended? It was kinda nice having someone at a similar level to me on this game!
He used his naughty words and did not fully star/asterisk the word(s) out
^This Stevie^
I didn't realise the whole word had to be asterisked...!
I got my Cobra but have done nothing to it as yet. In response to my query a few days ago (thanks for the responses all), I was careful with my upgrades on the hauler and used the 'compare' option before committing to anything. That said, I've earned quite a bit of dough so can think about kitting the Cobra out now. Obviously, I'd like more distance but that is going to be offset by my cargo capacity. So I need a happy medium that gives me a good 'loaded' range and good storage capacity and speed.
Yay!!! Now to get back to civilization before someone else beats me
You in beta or normal game there mate?

Welcome back!
I've done a few upgrades to my Cobra (FSD, power plant, distributor and the bigger cargo racks) and have finally been brave enough to ditch my shield generator for a bit of extra cargo space and I have to say I've not missed it so far - just spam boost and scarper when interdicted!
