They want to release 3.0 for both pc and platform on the same day. If you remember the platform version wasnt ready yet. Plus the bug fixes. It will be some time.

Newsletter suggests that we are not close to launch.

I don't see anything in that Newsletter that implies we are a long way away from launch, nor close to one lol.
What I do see is this silly error ...
TYPE-10 DEFENDER SQUADRON PACK
Form a wing and fight together in a squad of uniformed heavy fighters with these Military Stripe paint jobs for the Vulture.
Available in six colours, this paint pack is available on the Frontier Store for PCCommanders and the digital store for console Commanders.
Does anyone read the Newsletter before release ???

I totally agree. Well stated. o7!
Actually, I'm going to give them some points for how they're handling this release. Normally they have a Beta, it finishes, and 3 days - week later it goes live, often without any of the things fixed that were discovered to be broken in the Beta. This time we had a Beta, it's done, and now they're working on polishing it up based on the feedback/testing. So that is an improvement.
A bigger improvement would have been to not shut the Beta down, at least not completely. Maybe shut it down for a week or two while they put major changes in, then bring it back up again for us to continue testing, see if it all (or mostly checks out) and then release it to live.
Personally, I'm conflicted on this release - normally I would want them to take as much time as they need to polish it up. But in this case, I'm very, VERY eager for the new mat/data inventory system. Also going through Chieftain withdrawal...
Still, I'd say the way they are handling this release is better than what they did with 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.
well I guess you should not make this conclusion before you know how the release version actually looks
Which year?
2018
This. The coming year should see the release of two major updates, two minor updates, and at least one paid expansion.
That's a release every ten weeks on average. FDev need to get 3.0 out quickly so that they can move onto the next release. I originally thought the release date would be March 1, but on further reflection I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped next week.
Frontier will announce the release date on Tuesday, next week. If I'm wrong it will be on some other day.
From what I can tell.it was nothing to.do with the PS4 port. Most of the code will be the same anyway and they have a separate team that works on the Xbox and PS4 parts. The biggest issue was probably getting stuff to work on 32bit and 64bit machines. Now that the 32bit is gone hopefully things will speed up a bit.
Yo,
I always enjoy the "let them take their time" threads. Let them rush, I dabbled in the beta, I'm looking forward to it. So much so, that I'm not going back to 2.4. So let them rush. They shouldn't have released any type of beta if they weren't ready for a launch.
Let them rush because it's going to be released with balancing issues and bugs! The quicker we get to it, the better (hopefully) it will be. Also, we will still see 90% of the posters here complain, whine, cry, yell, insult and kiss up. So, I'd rather get that all out of the way as well.
Rush it! Get it out the door!
Thanks

Beyond will probably be released right around the time the "Q4" update is supposed to be released . . .
Hasn't the release come three weeks or so after the betas this year?
Some people are so melodramatic around here.

If they release right immediately after the beta is bad, because they don't fix. If they release after a longer time it is bad, because then they introduce new bugs with the new code. The point is complaining, didn't you get the memo?
Meh, gives me more time to get G5 rolls done.
He had it right.
There is nothing more enraging as a developer than being told, after a beta test, to tweak some stuff *before* a live release with no further testing inbetween.
You end up with unforseen bugs in production every time, only now it's not QA filing bug reports, it's the people playing your games having a fit.
This man knows what he's talking about... I worked at a company that used to make random changes to their product at the producer's whim AFTER the beta was finished. As you can imagine, the products were littered with regressions and completely new bugs, causing numerous (valid) complaints by the customers who effectively received untested "final" software.
I don't work for them any more.
True, problem is that QA never spots all the bugs though.
