Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Release Schedule

What is troubling me here is that it implies that live balancing & monitoring isn't already a baseline expectation from Fdev's point of view.

That's a humongous problem, if true.... though it would certainly explain their approach to the issue reporting ticketing system and extant balance problems for the past 10 years.
I think you're overthinking it. I think FDEV is just trying to be as direct as possible. People will complain about balance and refunds.
 
To anyone confused about this - don’t feel alone, this is simply nonsense calling a test on a live game a beta.

Beta is pre-release testing -- testing that is performed by a group of real users in a real-world environment before the software is released to other customers or end users.

So the answer is straightforward - this is not a beta - this is testing major changes straight to a live environment and then retro-fixing any issues.

It’s very risky on a large multiplayer environment, but it’s what FD have chosen to do.
 
So a big new 'feature'. But the last big feature/rework of pp2.0 still has major outstanding issues. Hey Fdev are you planning on fixing the prior issues???

Issues I am aware of and have run into:
FC transfer of cargo to ship
Bartender issues on FC
Rares Trading
Escape pods
Concord Cannons with certain engineering and reloads

I am sure there are others but I may not have run into them yet.

The reason I bring this up, is that will this new colonization feature result in the same type of issues? And then the issues will be ignored like the pp2.0 ones?

We'll know if any of those issues are fixed or not when they post the changelog for the update.
 
I wish the F Dev Team that put his all together the best for tomorrows launch. I bet you have put a lot of effort into this and are as excited as we the players are. If last year was anything to go bye I expect this one to be a real Zinger. I don't know what Zinger means but it sounds appropriate. Good Luck Everyone.
