Erm...........really?
Except that procedural generation is not the core of most of the others games
So the next step is the inclusion of the EDO tech in EDH ?
I dont work for FD so I dont know. But I think they said at some point they would do that, no? No idea if that is still the plan, and if so, when that will happen. But it makes sense to unify it as much as possible.
The issue tracker is more representative of what people want over this arbitrary "most people want X" or "99.9% of people want Y" that you're throwing around without any consideration of sources, real info or statistics.
World design is like one of the core pillars in any open-world game development. Bad world design creates a bad foundation for gameplay to be built upon, as many explorers will attest to considering the numerous threads and conversation surrounding the issue.

The issue tracker is a tool developed by extraterrestrials to drive us insane.
The issue tracker does seem to be the outward manifestation of the responsibility for identifying bugs being shifted from the developer to the customer.
A computer game is a virtual product that you pay for and then others later decide what you want.
How to tell the customers that you are deprioritising E: D & gutting the development team onto other projects like theme parks and F1 management games, without actually saying those words out loud.
It doesn't take a huge amount of reading between the lines. Your mask is slipping a bit. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for you to simply have that issue in your tracker, and make slow (or no) progress while the handful of developers left figured the issue out. But, no.
Very poor show Frontier, but sadly unsurprising given the last few years.
I think you meant "projects like theme parks and F1 management games and update 12"
My mistake. Update 12 is obviously high priority, heavily announced & resourced, and will fix all problems with E: D (except planets, clearly).
In case some who follow the thread miss the invisible /s tag, thanks for the first good laugh today!
Very rarely you come across a company that can't seem to put a foot wrong, but at the moment Frontier can't seem to put a foot right.
It's like watching a rabbit in the headlights, surely the poor beast is going to do something to save itself?

Don't make me laugh. It's not gonna fix the AA, the lighting, FSS orbit lines in VR or performance (maybe a couple more frames a second).
Planet gen is now considered 'done' and FC interiors was the last big thing to be added for 2022 (Thargoid shoot outs - I wouldn't put money on it being a thing this year - but maybe <battered wife syndrome>).
Maybe it'll fix some of the simpler bugs but that's pretty much your lot!
Last staement from Braben :
Console are canceled, it should be no more reasons not to merge Horizon with Odyssey.
I've been playing Elite on and off since the kickstarter. Unfortunately for my playing time, life interrups sometimes, so of late I have just begun to get close to my end goal of buying a carrier and exploring the galaxy. However, with this decision of refusing to fix a mess of your own making, I will no longer be playing your game as you have spoiled the whole premise for me. It's not just this decision, but a series of decisions that you have made regarding the devleopment of the game which I am mostly disappointed with; halting VR development being another crap decision and the other god awful bugs that are regularly introduced with each update.
Well done, you have a done a Sony SWG.
Thanks for the years of enjoyment but I I'll be moving to something else now, perhaps to a developer that will be more in touch with their player base.
