More money Microsoft throws at FD, more money for ED development and adding all those nice features we want to see in game.

Majority of you even don't want CQC.

I certainly wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole. I won't even play Super Smash Bros. ;)
 
Regardless of your views on Frontier's policies or perceived attitudes, the level of vitriol and personal nastiness in this thread has been utterly disgraceful, even if it were being posted by teenagers. Everyone needs to stop the name calling, the bitter snarkiness and the vile trolling. Stop dragging this forum down into petty, toxic abuse.
 
True enough, but after going through the shard debate in Beta/Gamma, offline-gate, 1.1 disaster, limited edition rumble, backer rewards throwdown, the insurance tear up and so many more. I've just about had it with all the drama and around these parts. When it comes down to it, when we are really talking about how one feels as they put their hand on the joystick and launch from the station, I'm very happy with this game and I'm happy with how much FD has worked to make it stable. The 1.3 bugs, imo, are not critical (though I may have avoided them) and could stand to be put on hold for E3 and Xbox release.

Do I think they could do more? Absolutely, especially when it comes to communication, they rank right up there with Valve, EA and other tight-lipped studios.

Now, regarding cqc as exclusive, I'm not sure FD had a great deal of leverage on that (maybe they did, but probably not). I would bet that MS demanded, not paid for, some sort of exclusive content for Xbox. Frontier, being a prudently run business, saw that the potential revenue from going on another platform far outweighed the temporary fallout with the PC player base.

Just my two cents though...in this space of us not knowing what FD is doing or thinking all our opinions are valid :D....well...most

Well for me 1.3 broke piracy with the 20t cargo limit. Apparently there's a fix coming soon (brooks thought there had been a limit since beta though . . .) but until then I've not played as my profession is broken. Add on the wear and tear and repair costs that break every "fix" update, even if I did play I wouldn't be risking taking out my python or anaconda so I'm in limbo right now, indefinitely.

I was expecting exclusive content for xbox but more along the lines of a free eagle like the mercenary edition and free ship skins or decals. Access to a normal xbox beta as well would have been fine. I would have also been happy if they had given the xbox players a new ship to test as well.

The main problem for me is a whole new mode which in lieu of any normal content they could have developed for the main game in the time they took to develop cqc should have come to pc at the same time.

I think Elite: Dangerous is Grrrrrreeeeat! OP, relax. It's a game, not real life. Watch the news and you'll see plenty of stuff to really get angry/upset about. Go for a bike ride or something, you'll feel better.
 
NEO-ST... that youtube video is so funny! Thank you. Thank you everyone for your answers. I just uninstalled Elite. I am going to fire up Project Cars (I just downloaded it).. time for a new game

It never fails to impress me how such trivial things can get blown out of all proportion. This forum is turning more and more bizarre every day.

You must be new in modern gaming community. Rage is all what these people express sometimes. Just because there's void of any other emotions.
 
Errm I don't know if I want this CQC stuff TBH(To Be Honest) because I do not have a bloody clue what it is. Don't ever remember anyone saying my KS(Kick Starter) pledge should have this nebulous CQC thing-a-me-bob. Damn I wish I knew what it was so I could rant and rave about those pesky Xboners getting it.
 
I am an alpha backer from US who spent 200 GBR on the game. Clearly Mr. Braben has lied to his backers, players, and everyone around the world. Frontier promised a lot to Backers and now it is a slap in the face for backers. This is bad business. They took backer's money, used backers like a toilet paper, and then flushed them down the toilet. What upsets me are the blatant and nauseating lies from Mr. Braben. I suppose - money corrupts. You have betrayed our trust Frontier. This is not the way to treat your backers and more importantly - your customers. It is a bad business! As for me, I want my 200 Quid back!

Dear Bladerunner,
.
David Braben has NEVER lied to backers, players nor everyone around the world. Expectations have been raised sometimes without warrant, only to be amended by practical, financial and "real-world" matters intervening! As a backer, I feel that I have (or will) receive everything that was "promulgated", NOT promised! I have not been lied to, nor slapped in the face, actually or metaphorically, by David Braben or Frontier Developments! With regard to it being a "bad business", on the contrary my dear fellow! It is very GOOD business! As for taking backers money, you sound like it was a blatant daylight robbery of your good self, not a mildly risky "eye's open wide" new business venture that you "had" to invest a little of your worldly wealth in! You have accused David Braben of being a liar probably without ever meeting him or knowing him, however you go too far when you accuse him of being corrupt! I'm sure Mr Braben does not need me or anyone else to defend him, but I suggest you tone down your accusations and rhetoric as they are not welcome to most here! I hope FD do refund your money for all our sakes!

Frontier has betrayed anyone. ED is a project in the long term. And Frontier has already done a lot. And things, even more beautiful, will come in the future
