ANNOUNCEMENT Happy Holidays! Thanks for a great 3305

We are looking forward to the year 3306, with the introduction of the long-awaited Fleet Carriers and more details about what's in store for the future of Elite Dangerous!
Join us for our first Let's Play livestream on the 6 January at 12:00 (UTC) on YouTube, Twitch and Mixer. We'll see you there!
how I would like these two sentences to be interconnected.
however, why do I have the feeling that you will not even mention fleet carriers or the "new era"?
Merry Christmas

For me, its clear that the statement is NOT, "we will talk about FC and the new ERA" but just come to join us in the first 2020 lets play video...., a video with news about FC would be announced as news on FC and not "lets play", and the announcement about news+timing on the NEW ERA was clear - we will get info after release of FC, around summer 2020.

I just wanted to point out that the wording can be understood wrong, and should be clearer to avoid misundestanding.

for this reason, I’m not making any announcements in my community yet.
though.
I don’t want to disappoint people, for them, 2019 was one complete disappointment, at least with regard to the elite.
it would be very nice if one of you contacted community managers fdev and asked for clarification. because what is written in the first post looks too incomprehensible.

Some actual real info on what the New Era and the future of Elite will contain would be incredibly positive news. Please do not make it an announcement of a later announcement, its past time for some tangible information to look forward to and discuss while we wait an entire year for the update.

You don't need to be so super secretive Frontier, please include your loyal community in on the future of the game.
 
Though you didn't have to and did anyways, THANKS for all the free ARX recently. They will come in handy during the following year.
 


Greetings Commanders,


As we approach the end of 3305, we wanted to take a moment to thank each and every Commander who has joined us in our own slice of the Milky Way this last year!

This was a year of celebrations for the studio as we celebrated 35 years of Elite (1984), 25 years of Frontier Developments and our recent 5th year anniversary. These celebrations could not have happened without you, our community, passionately supporting us over the years, and as a special thank you, we are also running a competition with the chance to win an Alienware Aurora R8 Gaming PC!

Throughout this year, we've paved the way for new cadets to earn their wings with the introduction of the April and September updates, bringing in the New Starter Experience, Supercruise Assist and Advanced Docking modules as well as a number of quality of life changes and improvements. In preparation for next year's January Update, you joined us for the open beta and aided in the development of Elite Dangerous by and jumping into the beta, reporting issues and bugs and sharing amazing feedback!

3305 also saw the arrival of the Interstellar Initiatives; Bridging the Gap, The Enclave, The Scourge, and our most recent, The Golconda. With your very actions, you helped shape permanent changes to the galaxy, from the creation of a Guardian-excavation hub to the colonisation of the Witch Head Nebula; the introduction of new rare goods and BGS states, as well as shaping the future of a forgotten people found adrift among the stars.

While we'll be celebrating the holidays with loved ones in our home stations, don't hesitate to share your messages and get in touch with us through all the usual channels!

We are looking forward to the year 3306, with the introduction of the long-awaited Fleet Carriers and more details about what's in store for the future of Elite Dangerous!

Great. I try to enter... " sorry you have to verify you are a real person by logging in to one of these: FB, Twitter, Insta"...

I have none of them, I'm not on any social media at all, so I guess that's me out then. Thanks for that.

Oh and whilst I'm whinging (let's face it, I was never going to win anyway), why on earth would a UK based company ask for date of birth in the American mm/dd/yyyy format? how crap is that?!
 
Merry Christmas FDev ! Hope that 2020 will bring a lot of great new stuff in ED and that FDev will open-up a little more on their future plans about the game ;)

Communication is the key !

forum is the gate...

Happy Christmas to you all!

I have to ask - what does the 'Guardian excavation hub' bit refer to? I've been to the sites, got the Guardian tech unlocked, but I've not seen any excavation. Am I missing, or misinterpreting something?
