I would trade every update this year for Carriers enough delaying Fdev. I am glad your fixing bugs but the delay(again) on Fleet Carriers is utterly ridiculous.

He may have said a lot of stuff about future updates, but he reiterated that it was already in game at the moment and was from alpha I believe (if my memory is correct). So unless they removed it, it’s still in game. Especially with the comments about it being honked already leads me to believe it’s still there. He did state he wouldn’t be providing hints. I REALLY hope that changes!
cmon, itll still be a buggy mess. the communtity letter didnt make this happen. they ran overtime and now theyre using the excuse that theyre spending 6 MONTHS 6 MONTHS fixing bugs. best be fixing literally all the bugs and powerplay and combat logging and all the other half arsed mechanics. wont happen, itll be the same ded broken gaim
Thanks for the update Will.
Sounds fine to me actually. Bug fixes good, improvements good, return of public betas good. 2020 update still on target, good. Fleet Carriers delayed a few more months, I'm okay with that. I still wasn't entirely sure what I'd do with a Fleet Carrier anyway, and kind of assumed I wouldn't be able to afford one when they released. A delay will give me more time to save up.

Thanks for the update ED. Happy to wait and help in beta
Not really. Beyond was the year to fix placeholders:
The next year seems to be for bug fixing. Which happens to be exactly what people asked for in their silly petition...
- Trading Overhaul
- Mining Overhaul
- Exploration Overhaul
- BGS Overhaul
- USS Overhaul
- Hundreds of QOL improvements
exactly what they were going to do this year too
OK, let me expand on my thoughts.
I'm......miffed, that the game was allowed to get into such a buggy state, to the point that content originally due for release in 2018 Q4, then delayed to 2019 Q4, is now pushed back to 2020 Q2. Right in the middle of a 18 month content drought. The bugs should have been fixed concurrently long before now, not getting to the point where their freezing content releases for another 6 months.
The promotional video for Fleet Carriers was only released last month.
I don't have much confidence in Frontier's deadlines for Elite Dangerous at this point, and I wouldn't be surprised to see The New Era content delayed past 2020 Q4. Yeah I know, they're on schedule for now, but we've heard this before, time and time again. Ice planets? Delayed. Fleet Carriers? Delayed. Both announced for 2018 Q4. One year later and no sign of them.

wait, I am wrong because you in your infinite wisdom say the game is broken. Well, I say it is not.
Cheers Will/FDev for the update, please do those things. FC might be nice, cool to wait and see for now.
Mostly though, can those people who do, stop using terms like 'we' and 'the community' in their post. It's not everyones opinion until you literally check everyone else agrees with you first, and you didn't ask me, so I'm guessing you might have missed getting sign off from a few other people too. I could be wrong though, I will re-check my emails...
Edit: less general.

I would respectfully say a lot of people would disagree, even FD have faced facts it appears.

"As a result of our updated plans, we have made the difficult decision to defer the release of Fleet Carriers. We are now planning for Fleet Carriers to be released in an update in the second quarter of 2020"
And absolutely nobody was surprised. Im calling it now: another delay to December 2020. Prove me wrong.
Listen FDev. I love your game and y'all are working hard with what you've got I'm sure. Im not going anywhere. Im also sure there's plenty of other cool stuff in the works.
But.
Holy damn just don't announce things as "coming x quarter" until they're ready to go. Then use the time to work on related bugs between announcement and release. At least then the feature will be properly prepared and good to go before delaying it for months or years at a time.
Under promise. Over deliver.
Y'all screwed up announcing the release of it instead of just posting it as a "primary project".
Im still not going anywhere, but I sure am waiting.

No. 2019 was for QoL and bug fixing. But new features always take precidence over bug fixing in the management's eyes because new features are shiny and bug fixes are not. So 2019 gave us some major new QoL features and introduced more bugs than it fixed. Now that the focus will be on bugs and stability only, we should see some fixes.
I think that is always good to be transparent, but ED is needing those fix for a long time, just to make a few honorable mentions for long existing bugs:
And other technical issues, like problems with IPV6 and IPV4 instances, and some other more.
I agree that new features be delayed in order to have the game with less issues as possible (100% is almost impossible), but those listed above are long date bugs that were never treated, and some to be properly fixed likely will need to have infrastructure investment (new servers contract, maybe ?).
Will FDEV fix the likes of those and gave to us the game we loved so much with the Carriers at the promised date and with no old bugs on it ? I'm not confident, but I hope so!

- The heat bug when in wings hunting Goids;
- The lovely instance issues;
- Multicrew (the multicrew itself is a bug on its on);
- Bounties not correctly being distributed after killing a Goid;
