Man, ESPECIALLY with Bethesda games.
Worried? No, this isn't real life.
Seeing previous patterns from other games? Yes. Maintenance mode has a habit of becoming permanent. Now they are promising "stuff" in 2020 and it will probably happen. However what will the playerbase have been reduced too and....you think the current purchasing method will remain "as is"? Not a hope. Be prepared to open your wallet for each and every upgrade / season / new era. Trust me, seen it before and no doubt, I'll see it again.
The shame is that it is the best space game out there. X4 will be brill by update 6 or 7 but that's a long wait, much as I enjoy it now. I just want a pvp open only type shoot em up, fleet confrontation type grindfest. Not much to ask for......

"IF"
If I had said "Mr Braben is a liar, He said this and this and then done this" that would be an accusation.
See the difference?
Did you miss the part where they said fleet carriers and revamped ice worlds were coming and tthen said it was delayed? barely a wimper from the community when they announced the delay.
There is absolutely no reason not to announce what is in the 2020 update and show some artwork or screen shots.
I can't get my head round why you would not want to know what they are doing....
Anyhoo a pointless discussion, they will probably drop some info in april.
Definitely not how I remember it
No hundreds of pages long crying matches about it so nobody cared.change how the ads works and it's red alert!

No, not really. If it's not what you want to imply you should think about wording it differently.
If I would make such a post, I believe you and the mods would agree that it's an insult. Also try to say it to a cop and see how it goes.
'What if you are an idiot? Wouldn't that make all your posts meaningless?'

They announced space legs over 4 years ago...
"it would be cool if" isn't really an announcement.
Speculation comes from inaction, we have had loads of things in the past which we've waited for to come across as a bit lacking and those delays were six months. Iirc the powerplay one was pushed as a big deal but didn't catch on to name one.
What I am stating is I hope this is going to be the next BIG thing and that Fdev are not simply waiting for the next gen consoles to arrive and are working on getting ED on those whilst sacrificing time which could be spent better with the current generation of systems.
Sony and Microsoft have penciled in 2020 for a possible release time for the next generation of PlayStation and Xbox so yes I am speculating on a possible situation.
I'm just hoping it's going to be the next biggest update since the release of the game as some of the big updates do seem lacking until the end of the whole season. Horizons originally added airless planets with just a scattering of rocks, beyond added a few extra bits on launch. Once again it's only the end of the seasons which has seen the envisaged idea for the whole season.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
I'd have liked FDev to have moved faster on the big updates, honestly. I know they're doing their best, but this isn't the time frame I had in mind when I bought into the Alpha level of the Kickstarter. Really thought we'd have legs and atmo landings by now.
Ah well. It is what it is. I'm still very happy with all the enjoyment I've received from playing game and being a part of this community. Just because it didn't turn out like I expected doesn't mean I wouldn't do it over again.

And here we are at the core why FD doesn't want to tell us anything any more. A prime example where some people take some vague speculation that some feature would be nice to have as solid promise that this will be implemented. And unlike Eymerich, some people even then get angry and riled up about those "promised" features not being implemented right away.
I'm not worried... I look at what was produced over the past two years, indeed the last three, and have set my expectations accordingly for they can produce over another two years.
Since release the only updates that I feel actually wowed me were Wings and Surface landings. And while I can certainly hope ethos and abilities have changed so come end of 2020 there is finally another "wow" in store for me, there's just been so many odd design choices along with a 2-3yrs history of missed opportunities, that I have low expectations in truth.
Worried? No not in the slightest , i learned a long time ago not to worry about the things i cant change. Instead i worry about the things i can change. #lifelessons.
