I wish the OP would lose interest and move on.
I think I've realised what the problem with ED is.. Braben has lost interest and moved on?

That stands for "De Bishop", right? I didn't realise it had its own day
Personally I don't think DB has "lost interest" he's just got other things on his plate right now and being a boss is having the ability to delegate. He get's the monthly development letter so he know's what's going on and if he's needed he'll be called upon by the Elite Massiv.
Right now he's probably building a theme park in the middle of the diplodactus enclosure with a picnic bench just off to the left with a nice cafe on the otherside just off the path that winds through to the t-rex enclosure.
I could be wrong though.
V2k.

So is this all something to do with me believing my father never respected me and mother my never loved me enough then? Oh!
And it's not just something infact to do with "expectation" where during kickstart we got (were given) the impression ED was going to involve some fairly involved mechanics, and offer some fairly involved gameplay? But then release after release left many us scratching our heads and saying, "huh?" And still waiting for such gameplay and mechanics?
Do you not recall when cold/silent running was first demo'd and there were discussions about how much depth this could bring to nefarious activities in piracy and the depth and content of the gameplay that might ensue? Meanwhile, four+ years on? Piracy depth? But bucket loads of time for CQC, Generation Ships and Multicrew though?
And then we have the 2013 Capital Ship video, implying involved combat scenarios, and hopefully the broader implications of meaningful involvement in the Galaxy? But, four+ years on? X-Wing from 20yrs ago has far more involved and interesting combat scenarios and depth?

Yeah yeah, you think the game is poopie pants. Fact is that it actually exists, sells well, gets good reviews and allowed FD to thrive. Your chronic dissatisfaction doesnt really change reality.
Is there an internet award for the forum with the most neurotic and angst-filled posters with much, too much, time on their hands?
I have a candidate...

Even in open, stations feel like the Marie Celeste - lets hope the devs address this 'lifelessness' feel to the game, soon. Mind you, it's only been 4 years - give 'em a chance, I say!
Station defences can deal with any troublemakers & LR weps shouldn't be able to hit a target the size of a human from 7.5kms; although I haven't factored-in Elite's micro-gimbal mechanic, that makes the same size target easier to hit from further away - yeah, makes sense - good job, FD!

Yeah, i know, these fanboys eh!
Fanboys on a game forum ?, who on earth could ever have predicted that.
Well...I've been thorugh this thread. Cosmos started this thread and never ever replied to ANY comment since then. Look's like another Epic-Episode of: "Let's call out a thread war, between Fanbois and Doom-Sayers and enjoy it from the sidelines"
This is just hillarious.
Okay, btt.
I really don't mind wether DBOBE abandoned his interest from ED or not, as long as this marvelous piece of software will be active and even developed further.
I like this game as it is right now.
To all Doom-Sayers I'll state some simple question / demand: "Show me ONE, only ONE, software-title, that is absolutely perfect in regards of developement, design, QoL, Bug-Managing, Content, etc pp."
You all demand this one perfect title. It simply does not exist. Here in germany we have a word for it: "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" (Would apreciate any help if there's a comparable metaphore to that word in english )
Have to get out of here.
See you all in the black (or not)

Wait, are you insinuating people at FD are spending their time on their job, rather than what a bunch of angry forumites want? My god, say it aint so!
That's easy enough: Star Citizen.
I haven't seen any demands for a perfect title, just players who care enough about Elite: Dangerous to speak up about what bothers them. Well, that and more than a little projection in the case of ascribing motives and behaviors to people they know little about.
Many players care so much about the game and so deeply fear it dying on the vine or being butchered into something they despise that their fears tend to be expressed strongly and perhaps not as rationally as they would if they were not so invested in its success.
It can be a bit much sometimes, but it's reassuring to know so many people care so much about this wonderful -- though far from perfect -- game.
As for a sow that can lay eggs, give milk and produce wool, I'm afraid such technology has yet to make its debut in English-speaking countries.
Of course, now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, I'm sure researchers are already hard at work to make it a reality.
Yeah! Cos comparisons to other crap or non-existent games makes ED so much better.
Thats not a way to praise something.
ED looks great, but the ‘game’ is as bad and dull as it looks fantastic.
I dont care if Davo’s or whoever’s in charge, I just hope that they manange to make a good game out of it.
Four years on, though, and I doubt this is going to happen.
