There was a CG to gather parts of the Titans drive so that we could reverse engineer it and make our supercruise drives better, this would appear to be the result. It sounds like a faster mode of in-system travel, a super-supercruise I suppose :P

Any hint on what the new mystery feature will be?
Will it be Ship Interiors? Base Building? ... Maybe even "actual" atmospheric Planets?
... Or ... not ... ?

No, it wouldn't be. No ship interiors or base building were even planned to be added - FDevs already said that they don't see a reason to add those to their game.

As about full atmospheric planets - it will take a lot of work on actual mechanics of adding it, plus even more work to add gameplay around it. Most probably it will be a whole separate DLC when they add full atmospheric planets, not something to be added in the Update.

Wait a moment, the debate around Ship Interiors is well known (most ppl want them btw.)
but where in Oblivion did Fdev ever say that they wouldn't do Base Building?
Why couldn't you stick to UTC, now I have to wonder what time zone BST is and HOPE i miss the maintaince.

BST (British Summer Time) is one hour ahead of GMT/UTC.

Thanks that's very helpful :D Now I can set a clock for UTC+1

Base building is not currently on the roadmap for Elite Dangerous, however we have plenty of new features planned instead..."

Huh, can't argue that, it also was not a Kickstarter Promise as far as I know.
Guess that increases the chances for it to be some kind of Ship Interiors one way or another.

That is well known, the take of that guy is nothing new.
But Ship Interiors are a league above some low-down feature like Base Building.
Because if we are already sharing links:

So I think this is a tiiiiny bit more binding than what a CM said in some obscure live-stream.
And we will not stop asking until we are either given an answer worthy of such a promise,
or we are given at least one room to decorate with trinkets :D [Is it really that much to ask?]
(Or until the Servers shut down)

Your link is 11 years old, before the game was even out. FDevs also thought to have an offline mode in the game at those times, that was changed during the development.

My link is much more recent one. It reflects more current views on the game development.

Yeah but yours is just the voice of a CM who has only been with Fdev for roughly 5 years if I am not mistaken.
Mine is from the Founder.
The Father of Fdev.
The Father of Elite.
Forgive us for actually weighing David's Words much more heavily.'

And while yes, it is understandable that not everything can be delivered on,
a major feature like Ship Interiors?
That at least deserves some level of ... proper addressing in one way or another.

Or you know ... just give us ... like ... one room XD
