    Now this I can get behind. I trust them a ton more than I do RSI. These guys here actually release what they say they will and give us a good outlook with proper timeframes.

    I like the idea of the bigger ships having a fighter.

    Multi-crewing is interesting... this game looks more and more like Particle Systems I-War Series all the time (which is a good thing).

    Also - lucky there are so many stars out there - I wonder what % we have explored so far?

    Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.

    So how much more are these things gonna cost? And if they are free will it be worth the $60-90 you will have to pay to get them?

    Bartoni's Law definition: As an Internet discussion grows volatile, the probability of a comparison involving Donald Trump approaches 1.

    Will be interesting to compare it with fighter combat in "EVE Valkyrie" !

    Have fun

    All of the above mentioned content will come free as part of the "horizons" Game/Season Pass. As for being worth it, that is purely subjective.

    If you own Horizons then these things will be free. The other option is to wait for a Steam / Frontier sale and pick it up at a reduced price, or even wait until the next expansion and get the previous ones included for free.

    Just wait until 2020, then you can get E:D with all the major planned features for the low-low price of $60 ! (equivalent to the price of a single annual expansion)

    Yeah...  that will be a tough sell in 2020... it will be up against the Star Citizen pre-release...

    But doesn't Star Citizen have a strong pay to win element to it ?

    Maybe. It's another 4 years for Frontier to expand the game so kind of hard to tell what will happen in that time.
    My hope is that both games go entirely their own way so you can have totally different experiences in either, rather than getting the impression that one is a cheaper version of the other.
