EDH is dead. No changes to EDH client code base, code base freeze applied. No work and no bug fixes...
Long live the EDO 4.1+ client only...

EDO client is the last version of ED to be released, last time you'll have to pay such a large fee for DLC...
EDO client will be updated regular every 2 months with brand-new content, but NOTHING from EDH will be altered, ever, insuring stabler code base...
EDO client to be forced to every PC user in update in about 4 months, but you will retain the fake HTML web launcher with the 3 fake buttons that still launch the EDO only client but with DLC access removed... per button if you did not pay for it...

The HTML launcher will be updated to remove the use of Internet Explorer 11 framework to a full stand alone HTML5 client shell with the removal of the old jjunk and the interface and design lay out transferring from website to the launcher...

Console transfer fee bundle required
Console account transfer to PC will be done. But unlike Epic games/bungie... frontier are not willing to pay the breaking of Live/PSN store exclusive user fees for the consoles users, An Asset transfer fee will be required to move from consoles to PC to pay this fee from the console platforms...
GeForce now discount for 3 months option available with nvidia for console users, with this fee to help the Slower devices run the steam version of the game for console users... EDO included in the transfer fee for a lower price...

3 pricing of transfers bundles..
Bundle A =Just the Account transfer...
Bundle B = Account transfer and GeForce now deal for 3 months
Bundle O = Account transfer, GeForce now deal and EDO Steam upgrade...

Well if they give me EDO for free, I'll take it. Other than that, they have to support what I paid for, or at a minimum keepit running. I'm happy with either.

EDH will be supported on the EDO 4.1 client. The FAKE EDH button will just run EDO client With the EDO only DLC disabled if you never paid for EDO... Exactly the same way EDH client ran a base game mode when you clickied the Fake ED base game button, the EDH client just disabed the EDH DLC content... EDO will have 3 fake mode buttons it will just disable DLC depending on the Button you select to launch...

After that, to paraphrase a line from a scene from Fawlty Towers, the only investors you'd find in there would be kamikaze ones.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Investors might actually see it positive if FDev gets rid of that failed product and its running costs, enabling it to fully concentrate on the products that produce income. Of course, it might reduce the company's PR image even further, but hey, the Oddy debacle was certainly the bigger dent in that image, anyway.

Better communication, and maybe an explanation of why they are acting so weird lately:

Frontier: "No more livestreams until further notice"
~ 24h later
Frontier: "Next week we'll have a livestream!!!"

Nothing. Vague statements, open ended 'further developments'. It's all that's happened since February and that's about what I expect now.

That's not supporting EDH though, that's EDO lite... for me the worst outcome

I hope for EDH left as is until the lights go out and frontier can continue with as many flavours of EDO as they like

THinking about this, I don't really mind if their default stance is low comms. But I want to know what the year ahead looks like. Give us a high level roadmap that they are reasonably confident they can stick to, and then get on with it. Monthly or quarterly updates on the progress of the roadmap would be great. Give me confidence that there is a vision and that things are happening to progress the vision.

Forlorn hope, but i'd love some news about having out NPCs sitting in our spare seats in ship, perhaps with dialogue.

This is a good one, the only possible reason I can think of why it hasn't happened yet is that it will open the door to the 'why can't they walk around and fight with me onfoot' question.. and maybe they want to either avoid having to do that or want to enable it before pushing the feature?

I hope the livestream is just two hours of Arf and Bruce holding up a sign that says "We are going to keep the game running, stop overreacting", and glaring disapprovingly into the camera without saying anything.

More realistically; I hope they're able to announce full 1:1 account transfers for consoles. I expect that if they were able to work anything out on that front, it's going to be a full as-is account migration, and not a weird messy merging together of existing accounts like some folks are suggesting/hoping for. If they're able to announce that, I think it's finally a much needed win in a string of losses. Also, console commanders really deserve it after the news they got.

As for future content, I have no expectations. I'm assuming a general announcement of continued story post-Azimuth Saga, with no concrete details on what that will be other than perhaps some teasers. I'd like to see an announcement of Update 12 with hopefully some new content focus, but I have no specific wish-list for what that content is.

I think it would be nice to see a "future plans" roadmap that includes something like upcoming content teasers or maybe a Beyond-like roadmap. I'd love to see news about the Engineering rebalances proposed here by Bruce a while ago, but I'm not going in expecting that. Mostly, I'm just trying to keep an open mind about whatever's coming.

My biggest hope is that whatever's discussed on Wednesday is a meaty, substantial, exciting enough announcement that it shuts up all the dooming for like, maybe a week? Hearing people actually feel good about Elite for a hot second would be really nice and honestly the most extravagant thing I'm hoping for.

Ditto that.

I don't mind an optional EDO Lite for Horizons-only players, as it would
  1. Allow Horizons players to wing with Odyssey owners in shared spaces.
  2. Give Horizons players a preview of Odyssey performance (and lighting, UI, etc) before buying the full version of Odyssey.
If Horizons is someday soon completely replaced by Odyssey Lite, that could knock out another swath of the community, perhaps even similar in size to the console community.

But either way, I'd like to know what the plan is.
