New game roadmaps?

OK, so we got a shiny new forum, unfortunately some of the salt from the previous one has been transferred also :rolleyes:, but is there any indication on when we will be getting some updates on what's happening with ED?

We got content removed last year, we get told 2020 before anything new, so at least give us a roadmap and some updates on what's happening soon

What content was removed?

Also we are getting updates between now and 2020.

We will probably get information around summer time when everyone will be able to pay attention to it.

Also we are getting updates between now and 2020.

1. We were told there would be Fleet Carriers and Better Ice Worlds as part of the beyond update but then they pushed it back for the next update.

2. Yes we are, 2 of the things they have mentioned are the "Dev supported community events" and new things for noobie commanders.

Ahh, so nothing was removed, it just that some features weren't implemented yet (they still plan on doing so though).

Yup. I'm interested in what they will be like. There will also be QoL updates too.
 
Thanks Thea, answered before me.

Nothing has been removed, just the points mentioned were pushed back with no dates, hence asking. The updates this year, are they really updates or fixes, don't think they are going to be feature updates, just more QOL updates, which will improve the game, but not take it forward

They are both. But it was mentioned that the updates that come this year and early next year wont be as big or bigger then the beyond update.
 
New forum, same ................ threads. They gave us a update not to long ago and have even announce their will be a update in April. An they did a big thread post not long ago announcing a several revamps are going to happen, something new to replace or augment community goals, the starting game for newbies is being revamp.

I don't care much about small updates till 2020 update unless it is overhaul of FSS popup screen making it as a part of ship's UI.
It would be nice to know what 2020update will be about in general, no need for details, or at least to know when they will reveal it, specific date or event!
 
I'm just waiting for the old exploration modules to be put back in & a refund for the LEP value not redeemed. Don't need a roadmap if those are done, but it would be quite nice to see more evidence that anti-cheating measures are being acted on & improved.

I still dont understand why you dislike the new exploration modules so much.

Why you think that LEP people should be redeemed? You guys bought it full well knowing what you would get from frontier nothing has changed other then when the updates are released.

From Will on 1st March:
Development supported events

One of the biggest changes will be the way that we create and support in-game events and activities. Starting in the coming months, we will be looking to change the way that in-game events happen. The aim here is to create ongoing, engaging, and varied sets of content that are supported by the development team which players will be able to actively engage in.
...
As well as Community Goals, we will also be using things like new scenarios, reputation and reward boosts (such as Superpower reputation increases), BGS and global galactic changes, in-game interactions, new game assets and much more to make game-wide events that tie into the game world. The aim is to constantly create new and exciting events and campaigns for you to get involved in and shape, which will focus on and benefit different types of players.

Outside of the game, we’ll communicate with you about these events, how they work and what goes into developing Elite Dangerous.

Regular updates

In addition to the weekly and monthly activity happening in Elite, we will also be releasing a series of updates roughly every 3-4 months. The first two of these updates will primarily focus on new player and welcoming experiences, and we will also be introducing a number of quality of life improvements for the entire player base, of which we will have more news on in the coming weeks.... We will also have additional game tweaks, benefits and bug fixes for all players.

In the subsequent updates we will be focusing on bringing in new features, perks and content, including a range of exciting new additions to the game that will build up to this new era.

From Paige on 13th March:
In the coming month, we will be releasing specific details as to how the new development-supported events will work, so stay tuned for that!
Thank you for your understanding.
Looking forward to this. "Coming month" is April, correct?
It is!
So there you go: next news is in April, on how the development-supported events will work.

I don't dislike the new stuff (I like the benefits but it seems like a rush job placeholder), I dislike the needless removal of existing functionality.
 
Roadmap? [chuckles] You must be new here...
FDev provided a roadmap for 2018 during FX2017. Indeed the only people that "must be new here" are those that are misinformed and haven't kept up. Are you new around here?
Asking for a roadmap while complaining about things being postponed doesn't encourage anyone to share their plans.
Indeed. We all* know that the next news will arrive in April.

* = "All" being people with an ability to read information
