But those are the threads which are worthwhile. Nobody sane wants to see, let alone read, those endless whining threads of utter non-sense.
We deserve an Official answer from David Braben (I dont think he really knows what happened with 1.)

Your misreading the situation. FD doesn't respond to all those hater kiddies because it would be a complete waste of their invaluable time.
I'm really glad FD opted this way and hope, that the little pew pew kiddies will give up and return to COD and EVE soon
EVE is a pew pew kiddie game? News to me.
Responding to head off a situation is a waste of time verses wasting the time of 300,000 plus players unable to play the game the way it was intended. I see.
Your bullheaded and insulting "White Knight" attitude is so refreshing. /sarcasm (in case that wasn't obvious)

Fair enough, but that doesn't give you the right to go telling the company HOW to make the ketchup if it doesn't fit your expectations (which is what I was alluding too, should have been clearer).
You violated the spirit of how this strip is used, it should read.
Boss: People are complaining, we need to release 1.1 ASAP!!
Bubble 1: Agreed, i have a fix that could work on the collision engine!
Bubble 2: YES SIR! My work on the exploration is mostly done!
Bubble 3: We really need to do more testing.

Oh yeah I get that, the danger is people just silently choose a different brand of ketchup.
Oh god, analogies! Sorry!
What he said. Software development is hard, I am sure they are doing the best they can.
And about ignoring beta feedback: From what I gathered on the forums they thought they had fixed the collision damage when they made the 1.1 release. Turns out it was not fixed. They have already pushed out 2 hotfixes in less than 24h. They seem to be working overtime to get things right. I dont know what an apology from the head honcho would accomplish so I think we should just give FD a break and let them do their work.
Except maybe the banks, because she is broke.
But mentioning, that there is little wisdom in putting a tomato in a fruit salad, might be be useful to someone.
I get the impression that the people whining expect a personal apology. The question is for what?
>Software development is hard
For sure. Not that their timing is perfect but any coder is going to sympathise. Millions of lines of code and it only takes a stray character here or there to make a glaring unintended consequence.
Call me humble, but I think it's obtuse to expect the CEO to come and personally give you an explanation/apology. It'd be nice but 'deserve', no.

Though I can tell the government if the ketchup isn't made with the ingredients that it advertises on the side of the bottle. And the government can either force a recall of the ketchup or shut down the ketchup production.
This definition fits you better sir.
"A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.[1] As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, or other effects of perception"
Your welcome
Some companies, when they know they affected the quality of gameplay for people provide credit towards services or products. A free paint job perhaps?
I agree...
If you actually read my post, I said about patching of nerfing or buffing of ships! which should have been set in stone WAY before release!
And the detritus of your failed and crippled gameview is blocking yours.

The game existing while not being exactly what they want...while they don't really know what they want, just not this. The Gordion knot-into-Moebius-strip of their logic should neither confound nor amaze you...the proper reaction is pity. Not empathy. Pity.

Without external view? I pass
Have you played a multiplayer game before? I can't think of a single one that hasn't gone through at least one balancing pass after release.

This is software development for *any* product, nowadays.
At least Frontier is responding to the worst ones with hotfixes and patches. They should have held off until the beta issues were resolved. I think they are under tremendous pressure to hit internal scheduled release dates.
It's hard to go in front of your customers and say it's not ready, yet. We all know it's easier to ask for forgiveness, then permission.
