Excellent question. Something to reflect on.So you don't think Frontier was dishonest when they sold this beta for $40? Lol, ok.. Also, I would hardly consider what Obisidan Ant and Exigeous are saying as "damaging to the game", who's acting like a spoiled child now.

Sorry, but asked what?
You mean, if they had discussed the design early on?
That might be true, but again, not guaranteed. Many people want many different things and all...
They may have their reasons to act like that, we can only guess if they are good or bad.
And you know what is also extremely "funny" in this whole one sided discussion that we all are having on this post. That I'll again point out that it's completely one sided and will not even be reviewed by anyone in the stuff or development until Monday and that's at the very best of things!!!

Hopefully with the increased communications, Console players will get a mention. Remember they've been in the dark since the delay was announced, and now it appears that PC bug fix is delaying further console development until Update 5.
Well yes- show us a prototype we could play with and comment on. The issues it has are near universal and would have been spotted a mile off.
Less iconography would be a good start

Acknowledging the fact they messed up would go a long way IMO.
Does this mean Cross Play? Or are we still referencing a galaxy where players cannot play together across platforms?
This CMDR is correct, for the game was advertised as being playable "with no ships, purely by taking taxis."
The taxi bug is game braking, but its not the bug you mentioned before.
AS for the corporate phrasing, I understand your feeling. But in this kind of context, what exactly can they say?
What would you have them say?
Ah, typical FDev vagueness...
I think it’s more tragic that they sold a piece of trash to loyal, paying customers under false pretenses.
Working as intended apparently.
I have personally no quells with the new UI.
There are some info that is missing, but that is about it. Easily fixable.
When it comes to its ergonomics, I mastered it pretty easily. Takes a bit of getting used to, but that is all.
Dissapointed

Meaningless diatribe. Please do not attempt to lecture me on something that I am infinitely more qualified on than you are.
The 'roadmap' we received today was derisory, it showed a complete lack of effort to the point of contempt. In any professional relationship it would have meant a termination of contract for me, with potential legal proceedings following, had it occurred in a B2B environment. Having seen similar situations in the past, it looks as if they are currently overwhelmed to an level that is unlikely to have a happy resolution, for whatever reason, although it does appear to be a resource issue of some kind superficially. And no, Covid is not an excuse, as there have been plenty of software companies more than capable of functioning during this period. No level of apologetics is going to change that.
It a matter if the majority like it- even knocking up a fake menu would show workflow, whats missing, whats good. Right now FD have to redesign as they go which is going to waste a huge amount of time they could have saved at the start.
