Not funny. This Rachel promised me bacon season in 5 minutes but didn't deliver. First I had to get ingredients from this planet and then cooking alone took random time between 6 to 13 minutes.

Words fail me - that someone thinks that is a recipe.

We're all around depressed right now!

The next update WILL BE THE ONE! Y'all hear me? THE ONE!
 
I find all this talk offensive. I'm a ghost and there is nothing wrong With ED being dead. Ghosts need something to play too, we're getting bored with no mans sky!

Sorry OP, I take great offence at this. My entire childhood was effectively ruined as David and Ian saw fit to not support my computer system at the time and thus missed out the awesomeness that was the original Elite even though David promised that it would be coming to Dragon systems in his exact words as overheard by a reliable source at his local pub: "Oh those funny looking Dragon computers? Yeash would be quite wicked to have Elite running on one o' them old bricks, haha! 'nother Pint and Packet of Pork scratchings please Guv'nor!".

I post here again the article which Imy 13 year old self posted in his local newspaper at the time back in 1987 :

Dragon Users - You Have Been Duped
David Braben and Ian Bell - when are you going to come out clean with what level of support you are going to give to Dragon/TSR-80 users?

After over three years we are still second class citizens, they are actively being discriminated against for as the game has still not been released for the system DESPITE IT BEING AVAILABLE FOR EVERY OTHER COMPUTER SYSTEM ON THE MARKET!

Although there are some minor technical issues that slow down development of the game for Dragon, such as its unique 8/16 bit architechture, low resolution graphics modes and colour palette and that it is generally a bloody awful computer system cobbled together by a couple of dodgy Welsh geezers from random pieces of scrap electronics they got from the local council tip; development has been effectively stalled. This is clear bait and switch. Unethical to say the least. The Dragon BBS/Weekly newsletter is full of data, idea, and tech analysis which proves the company is actively discriminating against a whole class of customers...well all 8 of us anyway.

Stop hiding the fact that you are stooges for Acorn, Sinclair, Commodore, Atari and Amstrad (oh yeah sorry, forgot IBM as well) when it comes to the game not being a level playing field on Dragons and TRS-80's.


You weren't there man, you weren't there!!!! *runs off crying*
 
This forum will become a shrine! And all the explorers and traders and griefers will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader! And all the grown-ups will say "why are the kids crying?" and the kids will say "Haven't you heard? Elite Dangerous is dead! The people's game is dead!"
