A decade of failing at every single thing is a lot of data to pour into the statistical prediction.

SC is ALSO a ship sales platform...because selling ships is the main means to fund the ambitions of the project
Not true for all ships.
There is no “also” about it.
The only ships it isn't true for are the ones with no associated game mechanics. That just makes it even worse.
CIG: We only screw up on some of our ships! Please send money.
Not quite telling the whole picture:
Because every ship comes with a role that certain mechanics needs to be developed for. Ok, combat ships, no problem. But trade ships? Trade economy is still tier 0. Exploration ships? LOL
So, sure, CIG can pump out ships without impacting the development team, but sooner or later the dev team needs to ensure those ships work with the systems they design.
Its probably one (of several) reasons why they haven't done the Hull series ships yet, because when they designed them (and sold them) they had that fancy opening up mechanism for loading/unloading... but nobody on dev side had actually implemented such loading/unloading, so they don't even know yet if they can make it work.

But for most of them, except arguably combat ships, and even there, flight flight model and combat model is constantly being reworked and tweaked.
Nothing is nailed down yet by a long way.
We saw how they had to redo all ships at one point because of Item 2.0. Will they have to redo all ships when they do Item 3.0? 4.0?
No exploration mechanics yet. Mining mechanics are in... about the most developed feature in SC, and beyond Tier 0.
New Van? No mechanics for that yet.
Passenger ships? Nope.
Trade ships? Nope.
Kraken's flight hanger? Nope
Pioneer's base building? Nope.
Its either Tier 0 or not even started for most ships.
Tier 0 you FUDster.
because alpha !
Non sequitur. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The really funny thing about this is when I headed over to YT to take a look the Ad that ran before the vid was "having trouble keeping track of your work?" for Asana - some work tracking app I guess. Wonder if they found people interested in SC were also interested in roadmaps
Now you're getting it!
Its traditional to put ALPHA in capitals though to represent the foaming mouth of a rabid SC defender screaming it into the void.
Here’s a more in-depth look at Elite: Dangerous’ on foot exploration
Elite: Dangerous coming for you, No Man’s Sky and at this rate you better be scared.

The reason I never get emergent gameplay exploded by yours truly...I ignore all those 'trading' guides

I sometimes suspect that all these get rich quick guides for ED and SC are written by deep cover gankers.
Do you speculate ?
Someone said here there were nothing before the release
and pretty graphics are not relevant, talking about 'dev blahblah' was of no use, etcI can't help thinking all the ppl saying Odyssey will kill off SC are as wrong as all the ones says Odyssey is a complete turkey. Both should wait and see what it actually delivers (much as SC fanbois should look at what that currently is, rather than keeping pointing to some fantastical future version that never comes).Here’s a more in-depth look at Elite: Dangerous’ on foot exploration

Nah...but the emergent gameplay types know all the commonly used routes since they also fly them when they aren't exploding folks to make the spacebucks to buy moar guns n' ammo
Just like EDDB in Elite, there are a few good 3rd party trading calculators for SC...reading between the lines you can pick several lucrative trading routes avoiding the quick buck deathtraps. I've been running the same routes for over a year and rarely meet another soul...far less those among them out to ventilate my Caterpillar for da lulz...
