I actually don't really know what the OP is after. Leaderboards are what they are aren't they? the results are in game for anyone who cares to look at.

Did you miss my post? I asked 3 questions. So I would be after would be the answer to those.
To answer your question. Yes. how could they be different from what they actually are?

There are DOZENS to HUNDREDS of highly active squadrons competing for the top spots, which anyone can see if they search through squadrons. Each squadron focuses typically on placing well in just one category, as it's very difficult to place in the top 3.

The post is polite and not trolling, and the question is fair.

Haha What? Hundreds? I think you meant to say almost 0. Besides Trade and Combat, every other category has no competition.

So was that it?
Did they get bored after season 2?
Will it ever be supported further than a script resetting it each season from this point on?

Those three.

What is it? - What's what? what are the leader boards? what are FD going to do with them?

I'd say the leaderboards are an automated system for players to engage in if they enjoy that kind of thing. FD are going to do very little with them, they are designed to just, run. Not sure what else is to be expected from them.

Not sure what you mean did they get bored? bored of what? what did they actually do in season 1 and 2? make a forum post saying "congratulations, here are the winners?" If that's what they did, not sure there's any need for that, as the system shows the winners, and grants cockpit badges to the top three spots.

Will it ever be supported further than....? --- Probably not, though again I'm not sure what support you are after? I'd love to hear what, because any support for anything is always good, I just don't see what support you'd want for the leaderboards, they do what they do.

Game is not dead. It is in maintenance mode. And i cannot blame FDev for this - when you have four NEW upcoming franchises, the game which was released more than 4 years ago is a pretty good synonym for "maintenance". Or "life support". But definitely NOT dead. Unless life support is turned off :D

Is the 2020 expansion cancelled?

Season 3 ended on Thursday morning.
I see nothing about it posted by any FDev employee on these forums (please correct me if I am wrong, but a search and dig through found nada).

So was that it?

"Nothing from FDev employee's on these forums" - Is it a requirement for them to be on the forums? They've sent a tweet saying the results are in-game. Ultimately the tweet is a bonus as the results are simply in-game.

"Will it ever be supported further than a script resetting it each season" - Yes. It was tweeted and results are shown in-game.

I believe this has then been covered.

Results are now found in-game. How is a tweet meant to link to that?
It sounds like you're wanting something specific that has neither been promised or provided previously...

"Outsourcing voting to the forums is wrong, it should be in game!!!"
"Displaying results in the game is wrong, it should be on the forums!!!"

Does anyone know what we want? Apart from complaining of course.

Ok. Then I am missing this bit.

The problem is that it is "update or something".
  • In 2017 FDev was telling that "game is in active development and there are more than 100 developers working on it", and "awesome and exciting features en route".
  • In 2018 all four updates produced by those "more than 100 developers" were so shallow bug-fests that it became obvious that game was on pause - which was later implicitly by FDev, by demonstrating how much new franchises were/are in work, and by saying that "now, with moving new era update into full production, more than 100 developers work on it"
  • Now, in 2019, FDev again tells us that "new era entered full production mode, and more than 100 developers work on it". Sounds horribly familiar.
You know - after first lie, one doesn't believe for the second time until some proofs / details. What details were given? Zero. And remembering those "awesome and exciting" updates during 2018, i can only extrapolate the known FDev behavior from the past. You (or FDev) don't want disinformation spreading? Then give some information. And don't forget, the phrase "there will be big, awesome and exciting update" - is not an information.

You are calling them liars because you didn't like the 2018 content?
Well since your subjective opinion isn't worth more than mine, I'll counter it by liking the 2018 content. Everything is back to neutral and the game is not in maintenance mode.
By the way, regarding Beyond there is no way you could know how much effort it required to create, so your judgement about quality and size is pretty much irrelevant. Apart from that, they also announced to be in full production of the 2020 content 'for some time' back in August 2018, so the majority of the development team didn't work on Beyond during 2018.

Game's doomed I guess.

Time for some steam charts?
