The bugs have been in place so long they are now essential parts of the game...
I wonder if it’s possible to go inside to get some goodies.

Ah the old 'they never literally promised so it's fine to not deliver' argument. You're taking the notion too literally. They said they were coming and didn't deliver. Whether they actually said 'promise' or otherwise is completely irrelevant.
RDR2 makes ED look like a PS2 game, even after any potential graphical 'nerfs'. Subnautica does have some issues with rendering bases on PS4 (infinite draw distance, missing shadows, light passing through walls, etc.) as well as very noticeable pop-in, but man oh man is it a fun game! I wish my ships in ED were like my subs in Subnautica.He's broken the graphics on Red Dead Redemption too.
I was gonna buy Subnautica, but Old Duck's got it.
Neither game has Elephant Butt Leather / Dancing Disco Shadows (though one has nicely rendered horse butts and animal furs for harvest / trade).
And a sennight is a week (seven nights).
Its rather archaic but always fun to use and confuse people with.
True. To be fair though, it sounds like you are working mostly for customers who directly order specific applications from you. If your client tells you he needs a software in 6 months it's just natural that you tell him why you missed your deadline. This situation is not comparable to ED though.
Great lengths indeed. So much so, that if nothing is promised, even less is expected.
And, we have zero need to spend any more money. Or, future money.
Future Money. That's brilliant.
Not entirely true imho.
They don't promise much true but they do love to dangle carrots in front of our noses.
"We cant say what or when but there's something awesome coming,......late 2020. It's gonna be groundbreaking, a new Era for ED and we're very excited, but again, we can't say anything about it."
My expectations are at an all time low, imho bug fixing should be priority number one but they just ignore them, I'm afraid this whole 2020 thing will just like previous additions be a half developed feature accompanied by a whole new range of bugs.
Why is it planned in the development roadmap and not in development? I thought FD was working on fleet carriers for Beyond Ch 4 but pulled it out after they discovered some issues that couldn't be resolved, hence postponed?
Will fleet carriers and enhanced ice worlds be included in a coming QoL improvement update or in paid 2020 expansion? I hope they will be included in the former...
You're right about the carrots, but we've been getting fortune cookies- without the lottery numbers on them.

An LEP means you will get 2 expansions literally in the course of your lifetime. Everyone knew that when they paid for it.
It will be funny if/when the 2020 update is classed as a sequel and therefore not included in the LEP. People will still be here voraciously defending it.
Simple really... Right now you request docking.. if not member of associated squadron, deny docking..
None of this is difficult. Its a graphical ship/station to allow ships dock. How many, and who owns the ships is simple database logic.
I believe the difficulty if there is any, is in what players will want to do with these carriers. The same for boots on the ground. Displaying a graphical representation through a spacesuit is not all not complex, but we both know players will want weapons, then they'll want battles and leaderboards and god knows what else. Elite is and always has been a space exploration/trading game, not a FPS.. I'd much prefer to see more ships than BotG type rubbish.
That's not going to happen.

Never say never when Frontier are involved.
