Progress on the death of the game.

That's what the woman with the crystal ball said.

Well we don't dare argue with her, not after last time....

Season's greeting to you also, old friend! I hope Santa brought you good things! (I got a gorgeous "Bah Humbug!" sweater from my daughter, a perfect pressie!)
Spending the last few and next few days with the people that matter a lot to me is the only gift I care about these days I have to say, especially after an emotional rollercoaster of a year that still is 2021. So I would say, yes he did :)
 
So you’re saying after the events your describe, the game’s holding its own?
Well it is, really. It has a baseline of players that after the dizzying highs before the release its dropped to, so while EDO pretty much wasted fantastic hype and potential the game has not killed this level of players (yet).

The real test will come if / when consoles / low spec PCs are cut out, or if / when Horizons merges and disrupts this core playerbase.
 
It can be fixed, shame fdev don't seem to play the game properly. If they did, they would feel the gaps.

Phantom clipper
Ship interiors
Eva which is sort of there, we have tried it when we got out of ship by mistake.
Small tweaks to foot combat
On foot fights with thargoid scum

They have loads of good story lines which are left hanging.

I currently have to resort to sticking to EDH as my laptop isn't powerful enough to run EDO in an enjoyable way. It'll be interesting what will happen when (or if) they merge clients. Thankfully my home desktop can run it adequately (but not as well as I'd expect it to, based on other, prettier games and sims I own).

If I didn't have that PC though: While I'm a long term Elite nerd I wouldn't upgrade my machine just for EDO (because of what it adds, or rather doesn't add to Elite), and even if EDH remained on the old client I would probably slowly wane myself off it due to lack of ship specific content getting added to that (the only route to more stuff is via EDO like it or not).
