Frontier Interim Results: major new paid-for release will mark beginning of new era for Elite Dangerous, targeted for launch at the end of 2020

[Burke]

aphenomenal amount of material

Chapter 17 for the sciency stuff i was very vaguely basing my argument on. Or to be honest why cant humanity build star destroyers, but that link is a bit better

That said, coriolis are no small things and there is rather alot of them.

Does the fact that the next update is referred to as major new release rather than an expansion mean this will be Elite Dangerous 2?

Elite: Dangerouser

Pretty funny reading comments by people who have no idea how to interpret financial results comms.

Sometimes I see a comment so densely-packed with unintentional irony it makes me stop and wonder at it. This is one such comment.

I'm a space billionaire after five years of not grinding at all. If I'm a bit short for a carrier I'll just sell a couple of cutters or do some wing massacres or something at 50 mil a pop.

I'm currently raking it in fighting the thargoids.

Wing Massacre is good money, but as I hear it on the forums you can only accomplish things through grinding.

 

[babelfisch]

Isnt that around the same time the game is meant to expire according to a years old report?

No, only for people who didn't understand it.

I must have missed that bit.

I must have missed that bit.

'Let's grind some Thargoids Commander!'

I'm sure I've just heard that on the comms.

 

[Kzak]

Well, they're delayed to 2021 so...

Are you talking about the financial year 2021 or the calendar year 2021? These are, of course, not identical with each other...

A more sensible game would have the bubble mined dry of everything a very long time ago.

I've yet to see an O'Neill cylinder in this game, never mind a ringworld or a Dyson sphere or anything that would put a serious strain on the Bubble's resources.

If you were to gather all the human-constructed assets in this game, put them in any system with a reasonable number of planets, and consider that they'd all been made there, I doubt it would make much of a dent in what was available in that system.

Possibly. I think you might be under estimating a little, but who knows.

Somehow I have the feeling that every post of yours is filled up with disgrace to Elite: Dangerous and negatives about Frontier as a company as a whole. I wonder sometimes if you have something personal going on with them.

Nah. that's just the normal reaction of a normal/straight-forward honest person to the massively tuned/tweaked/selective reality talk you'll always find in Publications for Investors.
I'm no different in that respect - when I read marketing hogwash, I call it out as such.

And maybe - a little - it could be because OP almost appears to have become some sort of PR outlet for Frontier (in other times found pushing OA Videos), judging the chosen emphasis, recent threads (Livestream summary with supposed FC news Thread) and how well he's prepared to dig up Information from uncommon sources almost in near realtime to step in for FDev.
Just a gut feeling though, so no harm done.

I'm just the kind of guy who in the background sometimes wonders if someone is pushing/following an agenda and how trustworthy/honest/legit it is as a result.

PS.
That financial report is stamped 05 February 2020 07:00, so less than 2 hours old when the OP got hold of it, found sufficient time to skim for highlights - which is something that's a tad unusual in my books.
If anything, details like those raise eyebrows with me, so I personally read things from there on with a grain of salt so to speak (not finding the exact right words there).

Back On-Topic itself though, as expected FDev is doing just fine.
I just hope Fleet Carriers deliver and make up for delays on the ELITE side of things.

Jesus.... 1.) Congrats! 2.) Hey David, how much do you wish that we had the same media envoirnment around games development as back in 84 when all the space nerds just raved about your games without inviting themselves in to have a look thru your check book ledger? Anyways man, big fan! Check out our little podcast about your game wherever you get podcasts from its called "Loose Screws Podcast - The American Elite Dangerous Podcast" Would love to chat with you some time and would even promise not to mention the Rax--- word.

See post #15...

"new era has been postponed to may 2021" from someone who doesn't understand financial years

Case in point. But it seems rather unnecessary to make such a post in the first place, unless there's some strange joke here I'm not getting.

 

[Vedmo]

Possibly, but not in the amounts you actually want.

8 days ago I decided to expel some commies from a system as an act of charity to its denizens. Doing nothing but missions for the non-commie factions (zero mining), pirating to hurt their security, and two days of CZ's + missions has earned me 400 million credits in that ~25 hours of non credit earning focused (and fun!) game play.

It certainly won't suffice to just marketing-speak to the stock market. They need to address the existing user base and pull in the other 50% and new customers as well. Just trying to sell to the remaining players is an ever shrinking market.

It's a required financial filing to the London Stock Exchange's Regulatory News Service.

Haven't you heard? I'm apparently an influenza

As to "dig up information from uncommon sources" and "found sufficient time to skim for highlights", email alert messaging is a great technology (it was invented two decades ago), and CTRL-F "elite" and then copy-paste is incredibly time-demanding

If you'd like tutorials in general IT and computer usage, I can happily help you locate some classes in your area

They add funky stuff for new players like the tutorials and the free sidey skin.
