Troll fest is like a Folk Fest, but with trolls...Im sure someone has an internet meme picture, right?
This. I hope 1.1's tickets have someone dedicated to them - else 1.1 will be 1.2 by the time 1.1's tickets get dealt with. Generally, gave up with the ticket system in favour of the forum months ago.
Well that's just crazytalk, now isn't it. It's like you don't even internets.
Oh, but it does.
Everyone crying about the 1.1 beta has forgotten, or never knew (Which is the more likely option) what it means to "Beta Test" something before it's release. Sitting in here and crying about incomplete features and how the FD devs have failed the (small) collective people who whine incessantly on the forums about things not being feature complete fixes nothing, solves nothing, accomplishes nothing.
This forum is almost worse than the SC forum in terms of the carebears and neckbeards who cry over the most trivial details possible.
This appears to be the case. I haven't raised any tickets for 1.1 yet, but have seen plenty of comments from people who have (and have had quick responses).This.

Gah Daily mail comments are the pits, they generally come in three flavours: 'Shame on you!' 'vile person!' and 'Idiot!!' Their total inability to explain why they feel that way about the comment they've answered to is seriously depressing.
Seconded. "I don't enjoy this game anymore, and neither should you".
Developers != Executive. I doubt Joe Cobraenginedeveloper had much say in when the game's release date was set.
If it was my guilds own station i would have no problem hauling my eyes out for this goal. But for any other station.. naah maybe.

Then you mean programmers, or to give a wider bucket, technical staff.
And in that case, I agree. But it shouldn't let FD (the developer) of the hook for backtracking on promises and delivering a half-finished release...
Gonna repeat myself here. I doubt it will make a difference, it hasnt yet. We need full on sandbox emergent gameplay, with player clans, things we can build and sell(ships, stations, equipment, battleships), a player driven economy rather than a scripted one, areas of the galaxy we as a clan can run and fight with others for control. Yeah, bit more like EvE in that respect. I could see years of fun gameplay from that instead of creating more grinds which yield little reward for the player.
It could be epic..
I will say though the lights on the dark side of planets look awesome

Which might have been an interesting community goal, if there were not already 400 Billion stations in the game.
I did read that the biggest contributor would get their name put on it (or perhaps that was a capital ship?). In either case, that was a neat bonus for backers. A bit of a way to stamp your name on the game, by paying a bit more money. But dragging 10,000,000 tons of food around for a few weeks? Not so much. I'll be just as ok if the thing is called Cleve Stub Hub.
If 1000 people are really going to spend a week (or a month, whatever the time of construction takes) dragging food and bauxite to a station - for the reward of seeing another Orbis floating around... then I'm seriously overestimating what sort of rewards modern game players are attracted to.
You know what would be more interesting? The ability of players to STOP that construction. To completely blockade the supply chain, to fly through the infrastucture and blast away at the wires and steel. To have the station put bounties out on Cmdrs - who could actually be FOUND in some practical way - and stop them from halting the progress. To cause so much havok that Federal Capital ships would have to be dispatched. Or perhaps an Empire armada would show up, with a host of Cmdrs, and both factions would have to fight for system - and in the process, system allegiance might shift. Or maybe the system would just go Anarchy, and the station would remain ever half-constructed.
But with the current instancing limitations, and the online/solo situation ... this probably won't happen. But it would be more engaging than delivering 200T of synthetic meat for the 50th time.

You're just trying to turn this game into a mishmash of Eve / X - don't imagine you will ever be able to build things in it, as for fighting for control - go and have a go at the (alleged) French assault on Lave.... Perhaps Wings (when it comes) will be a step in the right direction for you !!
As for the OP he evidently didn't take the time to read the patch notes.

The community Goals forma a very small part of the 1.1 release, and those we see at the moment are little more than a basic structure. There is a huge list of the changes 1.1 will be bringing in, a lot them aimed at balancing the core game mechanics and addressing problems with griefers - issues that have been brought up by people on the forum and which FD have responded to.
Just as ED is set in an evolving universe, the game too is constantly evolving. This is in large part due to the amount of money available for development (seriously, look at the typical budget for a AAA title these days and then see how much FD had to work with).
