I reckon 80% refactoring existing broken spaghetti code :) edit: oh! And pipeline tools (also requiring a good ‘ol refactor too)

I especially like the on-going in game chat messages about how the scheme is in "A-L-P-H-A" and everyone should know what that "means"

Better to have it than not have it. It's a really cool feature that give a lot of cool gameplay moments. I do some transport mission (they appear frequently) and they are fun. I will do rescue missions when I'll get a ship with a med bed.
As you said it it's alpha. The final form is to have these missions coupled with a reputation system that will help you choose only rescuers with good rep.

There's that ambiguous assumption that "Alpha" has some standardised meaning of "expectation of unfinished, poor quality and no support" amongst consumers. Where did that come from?

If Rise of the Robots were sold today, they can just slap "ALPHA" on the box (they don't even have to bother with the box any more) and sell it for a high price in any state they wish?

That doesn't really tell us much regarding refactoring / reworks / spaghetti-code issues really does it.

Looking at last year's list, and noting the lack of progress since, is perhaps a touch more informative ;)

The following list is PU focused, wont include SQ42 only stuff. Ill also exclude entirely dev facing tools.
Keep in mind this is only things ACTIVELY in development, not things planned.

Its easy to forget that just because its not on ISC, that doesnt mean they arent working on a ton of stuff.

So you haven't seen the video ? What do you think of salvaging ?

No, I don't watch Star Citizen content. I used to be subbed to D2EA, and I still like the guy to be honest, but let's be real here, he's hawking his referral code while he got onboard with dogpiling Elite, it shows where his head is at and I don't need to be watching anyone who's ultimate goal is to not so low key try to get me onboard with that mess. You're a true believer LA, that's clear to see, so I'll not trouble any potential cognitive dissonance on the matter of Star Citizen and why I'll never be, in good conscience, on board with it.

But speaking specifically about salvaging, Empyrion has all of that and tied with the crafting system, is far superior to what Star Citizen could offer me in return, so I'll pass.

Content creators go where the audience is. That's not ED. Of course, some choose to back scams like Bitconnect or confidence scams like Star Citizen.

True, and I have no issue with that. Elite isn't the most streamer friendly game out there IMO so that's not a surprise but I think if you're going to offer yourself as a place for fans of a game to go and get information and news then respect their choice.
