Firmly in the 40+ bracket, work is kinda killing me right now but sure fire me a invite on trust and I'll jump on sometime.
Hopefully I Can clear my workload before the Alpha comes out or at least the long weekend for Easter.
Done

Honestly I can't believe this is news. Offensive bloke who spends all day slagging off a game making truly offensive jokes.about stuff which may get me banned for just mentioning here throws toys out of pram for getting told no when begging for free game.?
He should buy it like the rest of us... Same goes for any influencer who expects to be considered to have an ounce of impartiality when it comes to talking about the game.
PS @frontier... Please can I have a free key too ?
(PPS I don't really need one as I have it already , paid for with my money)

Looks like a carbon copy of the Star Citizen stuff to me, I am out of date on what that is like so could be completely wrong and it certainly doesn't look as good, character models are very odd looking. It was stated some time ago that you wont need to leave your ship to access anything that you currently can, unless of course they've changed that since.
I haven't fired up star citizen in over 2 years, long ago I said I wasn't going to do what I did with elite and burn myself before the game came out, I had nothing to aim at when the game came out so drifted away way too fast.
Maybe I will try SC again but it made my PC sweaty last time I fired it up and was super janky.

That's the art style for the characters, i certainly hope they do not force you for whatever reason to get out of your ship.

They've confirmed everything you can currently do in ship can still be done that way. The missions you get from face to face mission givers are additional to that, and I think equipment for suits and personal guns etc will have to be bought in person so you'll need to get out of the ship for these.
Gamesradar had another video with a short additional section showing someone booking travel on a ship - it doesn't really add too much new but here it is:
Yep, feel that way too.
From what I have seen it just seems as though they have thrown together space legs because they think that is what we want, when in truth we just wanted more purpose within the current framework of the game. Elite should not become No Mans Sky.

It gets boring because none of the mechanics have seen anything like the detail and attention they need, great potential utterly wasted and resources spent in entirely the wrong direction in my opinion, sadly I suspect that income rather than staying true to the original ethos has become the number one factor in further development for elite so they are trying to grab a slice of the fps market. I'm completely unenthused about what elite has become these days and the more I see of what is coming the less I feel it appeals to me, they keep saying there will be exploration and other stuff to do but so far everything shown has been combat based and judging by FD's previous example we all know where that is going to lead...

On one hand I don't mind having FPS stuff in On the other hand imo there is so so much missing from the game which was in the plan which is based in space.
For me just flying around doesn't get boring, if the stuff we are doing is continually fleshed out. Elite had always been a flying around game and whilst things evolve I would rather it not be at the expense of neglecting the core game just to appeal to a whole new group of players.
Jack of all trades is my fear.
Let's not forget the bar for fpsers is pretty damn high.
And that right there is the problem, chances of it being at all decent compared to the plethora of fps games already available are slim and in the meantime the core game which has already been stale for a couple of years gets little to no updates.

what fps game lets u fully explore a planet, nevermind a whole universe?
You've played Elite right?
Does it matter when all the planets look the same though, but then I was part of the planetary landings were a waste of time as the core game still needed significant work to make it work, they still have not addressed this either.
The free Frontier 2 is still the better game, I play that more than Elite Dangerous.
