You're talking about must have features, while the incompetent management isn't even able to push out a MVP.

Clearly you don't understand character development.
The content locusts will glom onto this like Steve Martin in "The Jerk."
"I'm SOMEBODY!!!!!"
Your spacesuit has a unique synthetic that interfaces with the seat of the space chair in your ship causing it to form a seal with the seat containing a suction device and a bidet type cleaning system essentially turning your seat/spacesuit into a large self-cleaning diaper which then whisks away the pilot's waste into a holding canister that can be purged into space so that you can "oil slick" other ships.

I'm more worried about the Action Man welded on underpants. They don't even sell new ones in their stores.
Huh... so there WAS a topic about SQ42 being delayed until 2017, it's on the Google search and shows it was from 2 days ago but when you go to the forum, surprise surprise - it's gone.

A question - do you think CR is becoming more umm-arrr-pause-umm-arrr than he was? Going back to the KS days of ED when Gary Whitta interviewed him and DB, I do not remember him being as bad. This project must be stressful in the state it is and stumbling over words is a sign of stress.
Nothing to worry about - that is high fidelity open development.
Which YOU don't understand <enough of that please>!

That's not how it works in Elite: Dangerous. Frontier created a program called Stellar Forge which creates the universe of planets. The data for those planets actually reside server side. This is why there could be no offline mode. When you jump to the next system what that hyperspace jump is doing is basically becoming a loading screen as the game fetches the information for the next system to tell your client how many stars, planets, and moons the next system has. Every time they make additions to stellar forge they regenerate the entire universe of data. After the generation of data they'll go through and hand craft some elements like the Engineer bases on to those planets. But to say that it loads random planets each time you jump is a bit wrong.
Now that randomized section might occur when you say land on a planet and go surface prospecting. Or what missions will load into the mission board each time. But that's not exactly what is going on for all these planets and star systems.
Was a joke God sake.
If you are talking about the interview he did with that Italian group then I think he deserves a little leeway. Sometimes people slow down when they fear they aren't being understood.
No, my favourite pauses by Chris Roberts is when he just stares sullenly at his monitor when his demos fail <grin>.

very fast moderators whose skills have been sharpened over the years?
It's fear. Fear of the backlash.
What backlash? SQ42 has always been intended for a 2017 release - nothing else makes any sense

No - stellar forge resides on the client and the server, but is generated at runtime, with some manual overrides for things like real star systems, or exoplanets. Most of the server data is for the political, economic and exploration data.

How cynical an answer can you stand…?
I think it has a lot to do with how questions have become more detailed and more technical as he has piled on the engineering debt, and he has less and less answers to give because he simply doesn't know how to solve those problems. Thus, he keeps digging deeper, further increasing the debt and getting further and further away from topics he can comfortably and informedly answer, to the point where he's just making stuff up right where he stands. But again, that just creates more questions without answers.
I'm sure there's a lot of stress in there too, but that kind of humming and hawing is also a sign of panicked .

In the ED universe we are going to need alternative technology. Probably the simplest way to do it is to have a launchable outhouse which revolves around the spaceship on a wire rope to induce the necessary G's.
You two should work for NASA. Both these ideas are genius
