[Rat Catcher]

Well BurrPitt will stoke the fires with a title "FD on buyout radar'

Because of this?

Interesting article, we will have to wait and see.

thinfoils here: when it comes to an buy out, then I think Fdev will prefer Microsoft, due to their hybrid plattform constellation. The Xbox and pc‘s. Sony had IMO nothing to offer in this direction, therefore the past shows, that Fdev is closer to Xbox and pc. Valid step WHEN this case would get true. But to be clear only speculative.

That meet and greet is going to be filled with lots off no comments and awkward silences.

When we buy FDev through another Kickstarter, we can just tell them to do console versions and crossplay.

Greetings Commanders,

I want to speak directly about the lack of official streams and reduced communications from our social channels since the start of 2022. I understand the concerns this has caused and hope this statement goes some way to alleviate them.

The whole team are excited to share all of the upcoming content for this year including new updates, content expansions and the next major phase in the ongoing narrative following the Azimuth Saga finale. Beyond this, we also look forward to sharing our new streaming format when the series returns as a weekly show. Changes will include new segments, year-round Twitch Drop campaigns and studio-quality production once we move back into the office.

However, there are several questions that must be answered internally to inform this communication plan. It is important to me that we address key subjects by priority and when we do that the information we provide is clear. The team and I are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to gather this information and provide these answers.

As always, the team and I are grateful for your patience and support while we wait for the opportunity to share all of the above with you. We will update you with more detail as soon as we can.

See you in the black o7.

you can't just switch from regular and improved communication to absolute zero, given that historically the amount and frequency of this type of info exchange has been criticized in the past, Frontier must expect ripples to appear in an already muddy pond! , If you had a planned break in the dev and community streams that we have all just begun to become accustomed to the hay .... here's a radical idea, tell us in advance so we as a community can accept it digest it, and roll with it !!! instead of the static we have been served during January... guys please don't feed us any more manure and keep the communication open and honest, we support you and wish only the best for you, the game, and the company, many times you have asked the same from us and we deserve the same from you!

Hey, we were paying customers as well you know

Yeah... I was a paying customer of Tynesoft too... They owe me, big time...

FD: "Oh yes we can"

 

[RYNO1154]

FD: "Oh yes we can"

what does that even mean?

 

[amigacooke]

It means that while Frontier are unwise to do so, stopping communication is something they can do, as that's what they have done.

 

[Wescott]

Getting worried that major rows are happening over the future of ED. @Arthur Tolmie @Zac Cocken @Bruce G all very quiet and inactive on the forums at present. We know this is not what Arthur wants his Team to do. I just hope this is resolved quickly otherwise I can see us losing one of the best CM teams we have had since the launch of ED.

Don`t forget our Poor @sallymorganmoore who has worked like crazy for us!

 

[Agony_Aunt]

It means that apparently FD disagree with your opinion.

I'm not saying its a good thing, just that they have shut down all communications about Elite for the last several weeks. They not only think they can do it. They have done it.

They probably saw the forum numbers and wondered 'why are we doing this?'.

I aggree, though the problem is if they have to wonder perhaps they are not switched on enough to uderstand thier client base.

In the KS all the players used this forum. Now, only a fraction of the players come here and I expect its people from here propping up routine livestreams as well.

'Real world' players don't care about the forum, they just want to play IMO and will gravitate to Discords now. The only real function of the forum is a place to post update notes and gain feedback. The rest is just noise from what feels an ever shrinking forum base.
