The Design Discussion Forum (DDF)
Many people have asked (via Reddit and elsewhere) whether the design discussion forum will continue post-release.


The people on the DDF together with people from Frontier will have near god-like powers post-release. They will have access to live stats for the galaxy on rates of piracy, locations for player death, trade activity and so-on. They will decide how the galaxy will evolve. They will decide when famine (or plague) might arrive in a particular system. If, for example piracy is unusually high for a sustained period in a particular system how should the galaxy respond? Should an adjacent system send warships? Should it decay into anarchy and any government collapse? When we create a new ship type or variant How should we introduce it? How do we close down a particular game exploit - or do we? As you can see, the decisions will not stop at release.

Another one of David's "Peter Molyneux" moments, among many. "It's coming", "soon" and "in future newsletters". All part of the rolling developement plan for a game that will "never be finished".

I always have visions of DB, in his new car, with this on the radio and big smile on his face.....Ima start calling him "Bobby Sue" :D If anyone's trying to find him, he's down at the Coaster Park having a Scream Ride.

Indeed, but we're talking about it with FD as you'll know if you have access.

Just as the other hundreds of things "talked about" in the DDF, that eventually made it to the DDA and then eventually to the vertical slice cutting room floor.

Can you honestly even try to defend the many many things David has said over the last couple of years with a straight face?

The topic is the "god like powers" the DDF will have after release, like real life "gods" all you need is to believe and have faith that the magical mystery events in your life must be the work of god. Sure wish you gods would stop putting bugs in the game and taking out features before they are even released, you guys are some cruel gods.

I'm not defending anything, and indeed I've been quite outspoken over things which were discussed in the DDF but have yet to appear.

The role of the DDF and the "god like powers" is still a running discussion on the DDF forums - there have been recent suggestions/initiatives by FD but that's inside the DDF, which I believe you don't have access to. So, there you go. We'll wait and see what develops, meantime, it's suffice to say that the DDF is still a blissful oasis of sensible and measured discussion on a variety of topics.

But I might add, all those of us who pledged to DDF level appear to be largely sensible enough to take a balanced view of what could, possibly should, or should not be implemented, rather than spout off in the general forums. ;)

Oh, and we all have gold T9's, free fuel, and the ability to warp around invisibly anywhere in the universe. With cookies.
