Im sorry, but this is just sad. This isn't a roadmap... This is scribblings on a napkin.
It's getting clear how the inner works of Fdev really is, time to find the oil and start squirting some on those rusty gears!
Roadmap.... ha ha ha!

Ladies and gents, calling for employee sackings isn't constructive criticism. The staff at Frontier who are undoubtedly working extremely hard don't want to see it. I don't want to moderate it.
So, to prevent any unnecessary and possibly permanent actions taken against your account, and to save me a lot of work, we'll have none of that.
Thanks.

I still think, this roadmap was written, when someone saw the other thread asking for a roadmap still going and then thinking "Hmm, did we forget sth?" 
About as clear as mud.. beneath concrete.
I don't want to moan, whinge and complain about the Odyssey fixes roadmap that was published this evening, but I also know I'm not the only Commander on a really slow Internet connection (3.5Mb/s in my case). The next three updates, coming on the next three Thursdays (at least three!) will be, Frontier said...
"of a similar size to Updates 1 and 2"
Each of which were about 9GB and took the best part of a day to download, during which I can't do anything else online (what a bit of luck I have to sleep during night time).
I know Odyssey needs to be fixed, and quickly, but does a 50GB game really need the best part of 50GB in updates and patches in the first month after release? It's not helpful doing it this way

you (or i) may have read this wrong. as i understand this, they will talk about what they have been doing in the past month, - not sharing what is coming next :-((((((
#unpackthetrunkSO, FD are we any closer to the Trunk or are we still perched on a branch
"We make the experience as good as it can."
Yay!
Yay!
I would add this is a highly vague roadmap.
"Planetary geometry and lighting is a topic that we know is close to the hearts of many of our explorers, and is something we are looking carefully at. We will of course, continue to update you over the coming weeks as those investigations progress."
This means they are just looking at it with no commitments to improve or address the issue.
this roadmap promising multi-gig patches to chip away at performance and gameplay issues EVERY WEEK for AT LEAST 3 weeks...and people are actually complaining because they were not furnished ahead-of-time with 3 separate itemized lists is frankly the most tragic thing about this thread.
Road maps usually contain the next develop into a major patch - this also isn't even all the way to console release.
Thats not a road map its a weak apology and an admission we ARE STILL in a BETA imagine if PC people couldn't still access Horizons...
You need to prioritize performance right now. Waiting a whole month (if not longer) is simply unacceptable. Frame rates in Odyssey are vastly lower than they are in Horizons to the point where it can be considered broken. It should never have been released in such a poor state. Performance should be a priority now, not a month from now!
would if this was some weird attempt to get the console port funded from PC users
That's a 'Road map'? the small amount of hope I had soon disappeared seeing that.
So essentially, FD are deferring any major updates to the broken lighting and planetary tech until after the console release later in the year. No wonder you kept this back until last thing on a Friday. Stockmarket 101. Bravo! The shareholders will be pleased..!
no, it means they acknowledge the issue and are weighing options on how to address it but don't believe they can do it in the next few weeks without NOT doing a lot of MORE IMPORTANT THINGS that you're GOING TO GET INSTEAD
