4.0 update will have have a public beta first so we are some time away from stable version
Mybe we are some time away from the 4.0 public beta.
my hope is end of November the latest
I'd imagine it'll be given to us in chunks, all the features wont be given to us straight away to test, previous major patches were the same. Every couple of weeks of beta testing saw new features introduced and tested.
Maybe that's how 4.0 will come to us at first? Probably a month long beta before release alongside Cradle of Humanity so i'd wager Early December they'll release the first part of 4.0 Beta and probably finish around late January?

December is an awful month for beta as everyone are focusing on holidays.

That looks like a pirate-modifed... Perseus? The Paranid interceptor. I cannot for the life of me remember, because I don't really like Paranid ships.

And it's ok, take your time. Between Watch Dogs Legion, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Cyberpunk 2077, I'll have plenty to play until then.

Remember the purpose of beta: to collect feedback from testers. You, the betatester, might have plenty of time on holiday, but the dev can't process your observations when on holiday. Therefore, the communication between tester and dev has to wait until holidays are over.

So in the remaining 2 months of 2020, will there be some middle beta before 4.0?

ships design , well not very appealing to me... was expecting something more impressive, (not the tokio like ships or the fighters i have seen) (loved ATF designs)


on other topic, what happened with the promised HQ relocation option that was offered many many months ago? was supposed to hit 3.0 (but it didint) we are 3.3 and still no option to relocate?

thank you, and keep the good work!

To each her/his own, I guess. I think asymmetric ships look "fresh", compared to other factions' lineups. Besides, we did not see that many ships yet (some TER L freighter and a clique of S ships of undefined origin).

AFAICR, it was moved to 4.0 at least.
After all, the 3.0 was not a proper third iteration. In fact, I consider 2.6HF1 to be the true 1.0 release because only in that version all initially planned features (like player-owned shipyards and auxiliary ships) were properly implemented.
Likewise, only now with 3.3 we are nearing the way the second iteration of the game was planned to be, thus, all 3.x updates were/are just a polish layers on an initial version.

That being said, I think ES has some plans for PHQ, because right now it is a rather useless station with a purposeless module taking up a lot of space and adding a 200 worker tax for whatever reason. Considering, the PHQ was formerly (at least partially ;) ) a TER station, we can hope for some plot revolving some "guests" inquiring as to what happened to their property. :D
Or even an alternate PHQ quest in case of a TER gamestart…

Not useless at all IMHO. It is located in the centre of the map, you can go anywhere in the former Commonwealth with the 3rd Teleportation (not everybody buys the DLC's right?), offers lots of space to build for free (I wonder, if Terran Stations are the size of PHQ, and according to both lore and what I've seen in the video, what will be the plot rates in Terran space? And how would it ever be possible to put more than 2-3 Terran modules in any of them with the restriction of 20x20x20?) if you can find out how to use it and, in any case, it can be a great Trade Station once you have finished the Research due to it's position. Why should anybody want to move it? Beyond my comprehension...

Come on..... Im sure this is hyperbole and you can come up with reasons in a second. You know the reasons other people want to move it, if they dont apply to you thats fine, but you know them.

I glued together several trailers and images on the topic of the new DLC, if Egosoft doesn't mind, then here is the link: https://youtu.be/xya3B_Trm-o
