This is the thing the concerns me the most regarding ED's future. Once the initial sales have trailed off for the new port then what...no more development revenue ?
Expansion Packs on a regular schedule.

Yes were all allowed an opinion. But when your post comes over as me me me me me me me me me me, don't expect too much compassion from others. Complain to your hearts content otherwise.
PS4 next norrin. Not fanning the flames but cows must be milked. FD is a business after all, shareholders to take cream from profits ect ect. And for anyone who thinks money goes directly back into the game... ohh come on. Look up business on google, it will I suspect have a set budget any more income is just gravy.
+Rep for teaching me a new word; faffing.
I find these somewhat funny, When making criticism i feel it is useful to say what is actually wrong or what you are criticizing. Just saying "Its broken" and not really following it up with anything useful is exactly the reason why tech support is terribly annoying at all sides.
Example being when a program crashes and the user just says "Its broken" whats broken? what are the symptoms, what happened, why do you think what happened is an issue.
Iv seen so many people call things bugs which are not bugs at all. Like "Wear and tare being so expensive is a bug" No its not, its behaving exactly how the devs expected, but it is expensive, which is not what the users want, yes its annoying but it isnt a bug.
Iv personally not had any problems id say make the game broken. The only annoyance is some behavour of the station side UI that causes me to loose my mouse control of the menus that a ED restart is the only way to fix. Iv not reported it because when it happens I dont remember the exact circumstances, like it seems to do with timing.
I see this thread, and i think of this

Is it a PC or a Mac?
Answer "Yes"
See how helpful that is?
We can all go and play Skyrim... because, you know... that game never crashes to desktop every 20 minutes or so?
agreed we are still short of the first year of release and things have gone buy the wayside but one of the most important promised or heavily suggested parts of the game was the stand alone version a huge amount of backers only did so for that reason, that was just dropped without a second thought that bugged a lot of paying customers just check the forumsI think where the OP is confused is in that nothing was promised, it was a kickstarter campaign for a game that we now have, and i love. Many ideas were thrown about, some have already been implemented, some haven't yet, some may never. Patience I think will help with the rage you are feeling. Play something else a while and wait for the next announcement at gamescom. And please don't speculate that it will be a release for ps4 or something. You know, this game has a 10 year outlook already, we aren't even through the first year.
This game has a 10 year plan development plan no? So it's been less than a year, tons of stuff has been implimented. Obviously I can't speak for everyone but I've played 126 hours so far and have had 0 game breaking bugs. The only time the game has crashed was because sweetfx screwed up and the edtracker software crashed at one point which crashed the game. You need to be patient ad helpful. What is broken? If you don't point out specific problems then nothing will get done. If you have a ton of hours already and are bored with the game, then maybe take a break and wait for some new content. I don't really understand the complaints all that well though just in general. Even if I was done with this game after 126 hours I'd would say that I got my money's worth. How many 60 dollar games these days can you even get that much enjoyment out of? Not many. You are of course entitled to your opinion and I respect that but my opinion is that your post comes off as non constructive and unhelpful without noting any suggested improvements.
Rest assured that FD has the finances under control and the 10 year plan DB envisions will be fine. The man is a business man he knows what he's doing there.
faffing about,. love that term OP
It has been a long dark night since the end of beta. I still look forward to what is in store
...but TBH, there is no other game (that is out) that I'd want to be playing right now. I thought The Witcher 3 would pull me away, but no, 1 hr, bored, done. I played GTA 5 through, it was just removed from my hard drive. City: Skylines is a decent distraction for a couple hours (especially when I happen on an un-populated Earth-like and start thinking of cities). Space Engine and Universe Sandbox 2 are good for getting me to sleep (not in a bad way). Wait, what am I even going on about...uhm...right
This game is great, and I still have enough trust in Frontier that the Gamescom announcement will be all that I've been waiting for (or at least some of it). In my fantasy world the Gamma development slice (what we have now) is real and the rest of the cake is not a lie! I hope FD makes it a reality.
......................Your little rant comes across as very childish and if you think it will change anything you are mistaken so stop acting so privileged and get over yourself.
They aren't all working on the Xbox version you know. They have been employing more people so they can work on different parts at the same time.

Piffle. He comes over as exasperated and annoyed, as are so many of us. The only reason more people don't have a good rant is because they know the usual suspects, like yourself, will take the opportunity to jump on them. If you don't like "rant" posts then stay away from them. No one forces you to read them.
+1 rep norrin.
thanks spog you've hit the nial on the head perhaps we should setup a mega gripe thread "whats wrong with our game" i was getting kinda lonely out here with the goody goody brigade have some rep back for moral support
norrin
+ 1 rep spog.
I don't agree with your OP. I do feel as though I didn't get what I thought I was paying for but I am happy with what I did get and enjoy every minute of the game.
What does really annoy me though is the people that always jump into these threads and try to tell you what you should think and what you should be allowed to say about it.
There is nothing wrong with a good rant and the forum IS the place to vent.
This game is done. The devs figured they cant compete with SC and its budget and have gone from continued development to a cash grab. Well get a paid expansion with planetary landings to appease the vocal minority and maybe a ps4 version.
Dont hold your breath for the following......
1)Combat and weapon balance.
2) A real economy.
3) A vibrant galaxy to explore.
4) Job payout balance.
5) Ship variants.
6) background simulation.
7) Power Play adjustments.
9) New ships (at least untill the xpack).
10) A viable open mode.
11) Piracy and bounty hunting adjustment.
The list gos on and on. And its sad, this game could have been great.
