Its a nice gesture, but beyond that, they could just axe this farce and do what they allways do.
Thanks Stuart!
Damn, once again I missed the chance to submit my question... If anyone here interested by it can put it in the next AMA, it'd be lovely... Here it is:
"Could you elaborate on how high, low or lack of gravity will be handled by spacelegs on the ground (or in stations)? Would love it to have a sensible impact on gameplay and level design"

recon the answer will be:
There are a lot of Odyssey questions I will follow up with an official post on the forums
We may see this for ourselves in the next Dev diary ... it's about combat. I should imagine gravity plays a part in tactics.
would certainly keep the PVP crowd happy as you could have a default "logging out is not an option" during the CQC style PVP event!
I think this one was my favorite 
Sums up the practically every AMA event with FDev. I swear the CM team is trolling us all with these AMAs

no information at this time
As if FDev would honestly want suggestions, let's be real.
This is the new community outreach huh? 
FD should just go back to blocking out the windows of their ivory tower, it would be less insulting.

Ah yes, let the FOMO power creep continue.
He's got a point.
Would you rather get served what they cook up, or would you like your cook to pretend to listen to what you like to eat only to completely and dab on anything you just said, ignoring your opinion and serving you what THEY want regardless?
What FDev is pulling here is just salting the wound with extra steps.
Thanks for collating that info, the AMA's occur when I'm doing the school run, so I don't have time to take part in them, and the thought of wading through an entire thread one dev post click at a time is wearysome, so having this all packaged up in one place is a handy resourceAMA II: Question Boogaloo - Arthur, Bruce, Stephen and Paul
Greetings Commanders, We're back again to answer your questions, please bear the following in mind: One question per post Repeat questions may not receive an answer; check through the thread before posting Please do not start conversations with other players; stick to questions and replies to...forums.frontier.co.uk
Exactly this.
There are two possible options:
1) what they are doing, answering the questions they can, passing the ones they think can be answered back to the devs, and "no comment" -ing the ones they cant comment on
2) go back to having no communications.
Option 2 gets the CMs abused on their own forums. And now option 1 also, after what, a grand total of 2 AMAs?
What a shower some of you are (not you SCiARA!).
They demonstrably aren't allowed to answer nearly anything people want to ask, which leads us to . . .
If they can't answer questions, which they clearly can't, there is no difference between these Ask Me Nothings and no communication with the exception that they pretend to be willing to share info with the Ask Me Nothings.
The only things they've responded to are confirmations of the bugs they are aware of and that they are open to suggestions, which has been the bulk of this forum for year after year after year to absolutely no avail. If it's true they are open to suggestions, someone should notify them of their own forums. We have all seen loads of good ideas and valid criticisms and precisely nothing has happened.
In other words, "Yeah, sure, we're listening champ!"
Community wants insights and info
FD Tactic 1) Say nothing
FD Tactic 2) Tell community to "ask them anything", say nothing.
"But FD will get abused no matter which option they choose!!!"
Thinking it over, that last question was a bit naughty... we've endured two years of nigh on absolute radio silence, now we've got a CM team going above and beyond to engage with us, and someone is taking a pop at them for the guys having to tow the company line on certain points, that's a bit of a low blow matey. Jibes like this might be "why we didn't get nice things" - The CM's would get paid the same for loitering in the shadows and lobbing up the odd post when there was something to announce, or info that could be declassified, and that is exactly what we had before. I'm sure they guys are bursting to tell us all the cool stuff as much as we are itching to find it out, but their hands are tied in what they can and cannot divulge as dictated to them by higher powers, and while it might be frustrating when your "freedom of information request" types of questions get stonewalled with "classified" there is still a lot more we know now than we did before the AMA series started.
As a player of five years now, I feel currently more informed about the direction of the game and more engaged with the CM team, and thus more amiable towards the company, than I did this time last year, or the year before that. So I personally genuinely appreciate the AMAs and find cheapshots that may jeopardize their continuation somewhat distasteful.
