Really disappointed by time gap between Expeditions!

[phreazerburn]

There was a little time between the first and second, and that's fine. Most games with seasonal content have short breaks. But since E2 ended over a month ago we're still waiting on even an announcement for the next one. I don't exactly check for updates constantly, and I check less and less the longer this gap extends. I'll be really unhappy if two months from now they spring another two week short expedition on us and I miss it entirely.

I find the expeditions absolutely boring. I would prefer some actual new content.

The game is really good at fetch missions and building things with space lego, but not much else.

I think they should make a couple different expeditions available all the time and then throw in the special expeditions like the second one as they make them. The first expedition IMO was a good alternative to the atlas/artemus stuff.

I am guessing the speed and brevity of the 2nd expedition was just to coincide with Mass Effect Legendary. We don't know how the deal went down, but I would not be surprised if it was no dollars exchanged. Both companies got some benefits from the deal.

For OP, these long periods between new content is pretty typical for the game. Actually, we got Prisms so if anything they are putting out more updates then typical in a normal year.

That said, they probably had planned an Expedition for the Steam Summer Sale, but Prisms and supporting the new Nvidia graphic mode was full of bugs. We might see something by the end of the month...or they could just push it off to the Steam Fall sale or hopefully NMS Anniversary time.

That new thingamabob in the back of the Station is promising....I hope they blow our minds.

This is probably the right sort of idea.

Expeditions is pretty much the only way I'm interested in playing the game at this point. I'm still excited about other new content...but I'll wait and try it out whenever the next Expedition releases.

I never did one expedition but did they mention that there would be endless expeditions one after the other with a fixed amout of time in between?
I'm no game maker but if that's what they're going to do, it's a big sandwich they started to eat meaning it's going to take an entire team just for that part and the way they do things so far it doesn't look like they're that fast or dedicated enough
