A new thread I think, reading the OP
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous Community Team AMA
- Status
AMA - first edition (Arthur, Bruce, Stephen & Paul)
Hi folks! We're now live with our community AMA. If you haven't read what this is about and checked the rules, see our main post here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-community-team-ama.559160/page-6#post-8814621 Have at it with your questions! o7 Please avoid replying...

With the balancing patches that are underway (which I am a fan of btw) you caused a bit of a stirrup for me (and maybe other CMDRs like me). I use my Fleet Carrier for bulk trading, so I can offer competitive prices for mined goods. That way CMDRs who aren't mining "min-maxingly" have a place in the neighborhood to sell their goods at a reasonable price and at a FC with a large demand.
This does mean that my profit margin is rather small and I hoard minerals until I run out of space and then sell when prices go up at stations that are out of the way. Between the announcement of pay nerfs and the rollout I have been frantically selling all of my stock and have subsequently lost around half a billion credits.
I'm not complaining about the credit loss; that's my risk to take and I take it gladly. I'm just wondering whether to expect more of these sudden changes in the coming nerfs/buffs? I'd like to know, so I can adapt my trading strategy.
Cheers for all you're doing and all your time.

Hello!
Is there news for a possible crossplay with pc, ps4 and xbox?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Lesson learned here. Don't even breathe a hint of Raxxla or you'll just get [Redacted]
I think the Powerplay update is on Raxxla too.
Ok, now I would put one more twist on it: limit the amount to buy or the margins depending on your level of friendship with the faction in charge multiplied by a factor depending on your entrepreneur rank, something like the factions "reward" your friends making it easier for them to do better business.
Besides, they are not going to do anything to the "rare". Since they put on, they could improve their profit margin (that shipment of Lavian brandy brought to Cologne still stings me for which they didn't even pay me the cost of the toilet paper I spent to get there)

Well, i just read through the dev posts, and while i think the AMA in general is a good idea, the answers can basically be summarized as:
1) We can't say
2) Nice idea, will pass it on (ok, suggestions are nice, but i thought this was an AMA, not a suggestion shoutbox!)
3) No plans at this time
4) [REDACTED] (really, you couldn't throw even a tiny bone about Raxxla? Not even to say if it is reachable?))
5) We are looking into it
Out of hundreds of questions, i don't recall reading a single actual answer that provided any sort of new info.
Not much point having an AMA if you can't actually give out any new information. A few more AMAs like this and i suspect people will be telling you not to bother.

Wrong thread, and the AMA is over.
However, take your pick from the most likely answers below:
1) Nice suggestion. I'll pass it on
2) Not at this time
3) Its something we know players would like to see and we are looking into it
look at them again
