I can do both!
Oh that wasn't sarcasm? Surely you jest. One shouldn't make such extraordinary accusations unless one had extraordinary proof.
"the problem is that frontier not share in a honestly way their vision of the future game"???
Compared to this guy, below, I think Frontier are angels...
You do that. The rest of us will actually discuss the game both good and bad.
You continue to search for posts to shoot down.
Enjoy
I'm simply making a suggestion that you might want to make more constructive negative comments, rather than off-the-cuff negative comments.
It is your choice of course.
You can sit here simply typing threads about how bad the game is, how sad you feel, how FD are not doing what you want them to do.... OR, you could at least put some details into the things you don't like, and offer suggestions on how things could be better.
You'll still get opponents to your opinions, but at least there will be some more meat to have a discussion around. And if its constructive, you might even get some decent discussions going.

Will do - just like you just have you mean? Also, 'the good' from some of you guys?, really struggling to see or find it, so yeah, I'll enjoy, you pick the pieces out of Ed's hair during the stream and be sure to tell us all how it's ruined your day, enjoy!

True. He's being far too nice to you, and you're not noticing.
Out of rep ... sorry dude.
Just for info .. the moderators on this forum don't work for Frontier.
They're volunteers .. beside that, they're regular players just like you and me.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me Urud7.
Now, do you actually have an answer to the question I asked? That would be fine.
Yeh but in this case i spend 50 bucks beforehand for a season DLC and not the main game (which wasnt finished on 1.0 release not to forget). So and do you think people will trust FD again if they dont fulfill their promises...? Yes most of them will buy for the next season again because we will get the usual hype train when we reach the next cashing in fiscal period with eye candy pictures and revolutionary games changes.
Same for No men's sky.
Uh, flying spaceships is the entire point of the game. Flying spaceships around things, flying spaceships through things, flying spaceships into things, flying spaceships between things, flying spaceships to look at things, flying spaceships around other spaceships. If they just gave us a bunch more spaceships to fly and more scenery bits to fly them around people would be pretty stoked.
Salad was being sarcastic. Hence the /s

OK - just wondered why you bothered to quote my post if you had no answer.
Hey, I think a lot of things FD have added to the game are good. Some not so much. Power play was misguided. I can see what they are trying to do but did it in a way that does not appeal to people in a way that they feel anything they do actually delivers a reward to the player. It is just a grind and thus doomed to fail. Nobody can be enthusiastic about an endless grid that does not produce physical results you can be proud of.
CQC while does have value just makes me sad to see that development time not spent on vast problems that still so badly need love.
For me, it is not so much about the things they have added to the game or stuff that is still broken. It is about the race they are running with the publics interest in their game. FD cannot continue this pattern forever. Sooner or later people will tire of seeing really important elements being neglected.
Right now, ED's biggest problem is purpose. People can dance around it all they want by saying you make your own story blah, blah, blah.
That is what you do in the absence of anything else.
In order to create a true sandbox to enable players to work without the artificial frame work of a storyline, you need to provide a rich environment with levers to pull. You need an environment that can be moulded and sculpted bby the players. Without it, you are just fantasising in your head instead of actually playing the game in front of you.
ED so far has had a lot of development time placed on ships, power ups, flight models, upgrades, RNG looting etc. Very little time has been spent on the actual environment we inhabit or a means of influencing it. THe BGS at the moment allows you to push one statistic up and down. Thats it! You can expand, but this provides no actual effect in the game. A minor faction is no better or worse off for it.
The environment is static.
Being able to cause change a sculpt the environment we inhabit that has real physical evidence within the game is the key to providing genuine teamwork and comradre among players. It provides phyiscal evidence and reward for players toil and labour. Something Power Play never could. In a nutshell, it provides purpose and reason to play.
I do not see FD making and efforts in this area and still that clock ticks on and on...
Players become bored, leave the game and competition looms ever closer.
I do not scorn ship launched fighters or multi-crew as features in themselves, but I see basic game mechanics that need addressing long before the shiny/ gimmick elements are introduced. Crowd pleasers are all well and good. But what happens when the thin vaneer wears off and everyone starts leaving the party?
Create a solid game. That is what people want.
And I bet the planetary landings in E2 were as detailed and took as much work, energy and money as in ED. Oh, I know another one: the original Elite already had ship2ship combat, why did it take them so long after the crowdfunding? Its , we had the exact same content in the past. And you could walk in Wolfenstein 3D, whats taking them so long here? And Wacky Wheels had EIGHT different SRVs to chose from, step it up FD!
Always count to ten before going on the Internet to be angry about spaceships. Works for me.
I don't think you can call the do-gooder's LOL more like doom-gooders or something. They're the ones holding back real progress and falling for shallow gameplay mechanics.
Go back 2 years and ask yourself what could have been accomplished if they'd done things differently.
Yep you got that right.
