They could tell us each day what lines of code they changed, or what they had for breakfast, maybe their toilet habits, it will make for fascinating reading.What's the point in Paul putting a daily post out that says
"Colonisation is still paused, we're still investigating a fix for the issues but don't have a timetable yet"
every day for the next week / month / however long it takes, that won't say anything we don't already know and won't get it re-enabled any faster?
Their communication has been perfectly clear. Saying it again slower and more loudly won't improve that. Clear and "what we want to hear" are of course very different, but that's nothing Paul can solve.
(Sure, it'd be amusing to watch Paul find increasingly obscure synonyms for "pause", "investigation" and "timetable" after day five or so, but I expect he has better things to do with his time)
When the situation changes - either they have a fix and a timetable for making it live, or less likely they've determined that there was an unexpected issue with colonisation that was so severe the feature has to be abandoned for the foreseeable future - then they'll have something useful to tell us, and I'm sure we'll hear promptly at that point.
Well, today being Friday for office staff, if no comms or even update or even release the claims on hold by 16:00 today, don't expect anything until at least Tuesday, unless they are all working over the weekend (I very much doubt), as Monday will be catch-up/review weekend for FD.I understand that investigations take time, but the lack of regular updates in a dedicated thread wich nobody could comment in is frustrating.
Even if there’s nothing new to report, a simple daily update acknowledging that work is still ongoing would go a long way in maintaining transparency and keeping the community informed.
Since this is a beta feature in a live environment, clearer communication should be a priority.
Can we get a commitment to more frequent updates in a dedicated thread moving forward?
Im sure more than me would be very grateful.
This reminds me of the scene in the movie Runaway when the nosy reporter gets told off by pointing out that the “baddie” can here her broadcast and also wants to know what the plans to counter it are.I agree, we need more information on what they are doing
I work in infrastructure and application management, supporting approximately 16,000 users.I appreciate you are desperate to hear more from me, I am of course glorious, but we still don't have anything to announce at this time. We are as eager to turn on the Colonisation Contact as you are but we do ask that you be patient as investigations continue.
As soon as we can share more information with you we will happily do so.
Yep,I work in infrastructure and application management, supporting approximately 16,000 users.
When an issue arises, my first priority is to communicate it through our internal portal, ensuring that updates are provided daily,, even if there are no new developments.
Sometimes, this simply involves updating the date, as maintaining transparency helps reassure users and fosters a sense of stability.
However, I understand that some members of the community may prefer a different approach, and I’m happy to adjust accordingly.
My intent was never to criticize the work being done in any way, I have been playing Elite since the very beginning and remain fully committed.
I just tought an easy to click on post with a status, wihtout all these pesky comments. haha
And yes, without question Paul_Crowther, your brilliance is undeniable, a beacon of glory for all to behold!![]()

We might have done but our greatgrand parents got around 12 deliveries a day in London.Who remembers when the normal means of communication was the post service? We had to be patient. It built character imo!
The instant message generation don't know the're born.
My grandparents got regular deliveries too, but it wasn't mail, they really needed a TV.We might have done but our greatgrand parents got around 12 deliveries a day in London.
