I think you'll find there's a more shunned breed than that.I am also that most shunned breed... the console/crossover PC peasant! My main is on Xbox
Elite Dangerous Issue Report - 16/11/2021
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
Another update, and no sign in the future for the 32+ button limit fix. I understand performance is top priority but leaving players with simpits from experiencing a fully fledged experience, natively, on a space sim game is such a slap in the face seriously.
It seems like this is something some other folks said in this thread, an issue that is "in the radar" for so long that there will be always something else more important ahead of it so it will never make into the game.
Such a disappointment.

Thats a similar impression I am getting, the issue report seems to be currently mostly eye candy because old bugs and issues are being postponed and FD is focusing on fixing Odyssey after the messed up release. Thats something FD would have done anyway (and I agree, that this should be important for FD).
But dont get me wrong, I like the idea of the issue report and there is some good info provided .. for the bugs and problems they are fixing, which are mostly (like i worte above) aiming at bringing Odyssey to a state in which it should have been originally released.
Would appreciate it, if additionally to the very needed Odyssey fixes, the most voted old bugs would get more attention.
I love this small corrections improving gameplay. lookig forward for Fleet Carriers Disband feature.
Keep up good work.
The fact that David Braben initially wanted to prioritise console over PC tells you just how important consoles really are.. it was only after an almighty kerfuffle from the PC player base that he changed his mind.
It WILL come to console and no.. it hasn't been forgotten, they just cannot simply bring it to console in it's current state because the performance is preventing them. It also might be that it will only be able to come to new gen consoles. If it's making 3080s struggle.. what hope for the old OG xbox and playstation?

Im sorry I have to ask when and where did this happen?
Just after the Odyssey flop of a release in one of his apologies, they were going to prioritise the console release over the PC release and then changed his mind after the almighty clamour that followed.
read all his apologies..it's in one of them, it was mentioned on stream that concentrating on console would benefit PC.. then they did a U-turn, surprised you don't remember!
I read them and he never said what you said he said.
From his Odyssey progress 2 post he mentioned Consoles once.
Odyssey Progress (2)
Greetings CMDRs, Here’s a further update on where we are with Odyssey, and to keep you updated on our progress and our investigations, and talk a little about our next steps. This will be a long post, but please bear with me. Firstly, once again I apologise for the experience many players have...
This is from his other post (July 12th)...
Odyssey Going Forwards
Greetings Commanders. With the release of Update 5 on 1st July plus a few smaller server updates since, and Update 6 currently in development, I wanted to take a moment of your time to talk about the next steps for Elite Dangerous. We are aware and fully accept the frustration that many of our...
I will trawl through all that was said later to find you a quote if you ally can't remember but initially that was the plan, get consoles working which would further benefit PC and then everyone kicked off and it was changed. Will look for you later
Well Dave doesn't have many posts so it'll be an easy find for you.
Saved you time....
ANNOUNCEMENT - Elite Dangerous | Odyssey: Roadmap
Greetings Commanders, As mentioned in David’s forum post on 25th May, we would like to share our immediate roadmap for Odyssey and talk a little more about performance and improvements as we move towards the console release later this year. We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone for...
So the reality was they wanted to prioritise both performance and console release, not just consoles.
Thank you, yes I haven't had a chance to look but knew I wasn't misremembering.
Well, you kinda did because the way you initially said it made it seem as if the console was the priority when in reality it was a priority in tandem with pc performance fixes.
Thank the lords they chose the right path.
If you can be bothered to go back and watch what happened after that and the fact that they then dropped the console as a priority it still shows my point as valid.. David really wanted to get console out the door and give it a high priority. I distinctly remember the phrase being used "Improvements in optimising for the console will help the game as a whole" anyway. There was a massive kerfuffle and they changed their mind. David still really wanted to bring it to the console and still does, my point still stands.
Reads a bit like I reject your reality and substitute my own.
DAVE!!!
Too busy at the mo for anything other than short replies, sorry
But yes.. prioritising work on consoles and improvements was to the detriment of PC.. hence the reason they changed it and reprioritised the PC experience as being more important.
I'd think the code was too broken to attempt to port over and optimise for console... Perhaps at the time of the post update 5 mention the realisation of how bad the code was had not happened. The following comments to prioritise PC fixing served quite well to illustrate the lack of readiness to port was.
I think EDO and its issues were underestimated!
