Well I used to play through a VPN... but then I took an arrow to the knee
"Is the game dead?" returning players keep posting here and on reddit, due to blank Galnet
- Thread starter Nickolai
- Start date
Really taking a snippet of my post and running hard with it, I see. Take that, the point, you have issue with the wording! Although it doesn't seem that context is really a thing that you get.
Pretty ironic that you're trying to preach "perspective", but I suppose one must grasp at whatever straws are available.
When Flightsim 2020 releases I won't be giving ED another glance.
It is disappointing how things have gone with Elite and I can't think of another title I have played with such massive delays.
The wall of silence approach I find to be a particulary damaging way to deal with your customers.

New game, new forum to complain on, what incredible fun that will be for them.
The past couple months I played Elite more, had more fun and learned more than at any other point in my previous time. I feel like there's still plenty of content to keep me going.
So Elites dead, I'm apparently in Hell. This is fine.

What delays and what silence ?.
All the cool kids know that's where the party is!
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...
Didn't we have Carriers delayed twice?
Or was it only once. Genuinely asking as I can't remember.
Edit: Google is a thing. It was twice.
People asked for exactly that in the open letter remember, FDEV were just tailoring their delivery to what some of us asked for.
I'd have been fine with them being a bit buggy and out already since I expect a few teething issues with new stuff and don't get upset about it.
The idea is to ask for contradicting things, so you can complain no matter what!
Seems we stand a decent chance of it being buggy either way. Whole new system and all.
But that and some other stuff that was originally slated for Beyond part 4 were delayed.
If we never got new dates for some of it does it count as silence?
EDIT: Wait, crap, did you edit that or am I stupid again? Ignore me!
The fun just never stops
.Of course, any new software going live will always have some bugs. Some people will always lose their minds about it
.Beyond is still being delivered and we have got new dates. Q2 FC's and late 2020/early 2021 for new era.

You must admit, in the aftermath of the update leading to the open letter there were some nice bugs. I recall being stopped in my tracks with engineering until someone posted a workaround.
Indeed, it is being delivered with a headliner feature originally slated for what was supposed to be the final beyond update in December 2018.
I haven't payed much attention though so I may have missed any specific mentions or implementations of improved ice planet environments, scatter rock system improvements and various ambient effects. I can't say I've been following in the greatest detail once the major update frequency seemed to drop post beyond chapter 4.
