I gather it is 'de rigeur' for another space game to reset the galaxy when bugfixing major components... That goes down well there tooThat may well be the overriding problem here.....with soo much stuff to fix in nearly every area, maybe it'll take a Galaxy re-boot to solve most of it.
Brand new Milky Way Galaxy, everyone starts from scratch........that'll go down well![]()
I'd never have surmised that had you not imparted the information so succinctlyMy view is that the entire development of ED since release has been a total balls up.
I have to agree with this part of your post. Planetary Landings for me was the last update with any significant bar raising content.
I have trouble thinking of much else since then that IMHO has been much more than simple bolt on developments... And I unfortunately can think of numerous other example that I consider poorly designed, shallow or questionable developments.
Ultimately I still have trouble working out what 100+ folks have been doing for the past four or so years given what's been released...
Including Lava worlds and our Moon and...

This is a joke i presume ? Some Players ? Come on man change that to the majority of players
So well, like the FDev headquarters after the "visit" of the nice community.That may well be the overriding problem here.....with soo much stuff to fix in nearly every area, maybe it'll take a Galaxy re-boot to solve most of it.

As expected the response to this news is a microcosm of the usual forum posts. From the enthusiasts that feel that the game need a good scrubbing for bugs before the addition of new features to the alarmists that see this as a sign of the imminent death of ED. From the conspiracy theorists who think that the development staff for ED consists of some poor slob shoved into a dark corner of the FDEV headquarters to the ones that think that 500 incompetent developers are working on ED.
I stand in the middle: I think it is praiseworthy that FDEV acknowledges the fact that they need to delouse the current code base and that the small team devoted to updating the current version of ED will have to postpone new features like fleet carriers to do this as they can only work on so much in the time that they have available. I'm fully aware that the bulk of the ED dev team is busy with the next paid update and that it makes no sense to take devs from that team in order to deliver both the bugfixes and the fleet carriers this year as that would jeopardize the planning for that next paid update (and thus validate the alarmists on this forum who see that release slipping into 2022).
Personally I'm not bothered by the delay of fleet carriers as I haven't got the in-game credits to afford one and wouldn't have gotten close to have those credits by the original release date. I don't expect to have them even by the revised release slot.
Sure, I'm sorry for everybody who was waiting full of expectations for the release of fleet carriers in December, but let's be honest: most of you wouldn't be able to afford one anyway at the original time of release.
I personally value game stability over introducing a feature that only the happy few would have had the resources to afford, with the delay that group will become bigger as well. And if the stability of the game increases for both the regular players and the ones who can afford a fleet carrier when they finally release them, I can only see that as a positive.
I applaud FDEV for their willingness to acknowledge the fact that they need to do some serious bug fixing and to have the guts to throw their schedule into disarray to take that on.
For all those armchair developers who seem to frequent these forums I'll leave you with the words uttered by Les Hatton (software safety expert) when he was giving a lecture at my company in the late 90's/early 2000's: "Fixing a bug has a 12 percent chance of introducing a even worse bug"
So I'd rather have them do a thorough debugging than to have rushed bug fixes with even larger consequences.
Most certainly not!Am I wrong?
Most certainly not!
"In my view", "In my opinion" should never be questioned, ever! (despite so many fun discussions arguing over who has the correct view/opinion)
Hi, I know Ps4 games will work on Ps5 but that's not what I asked. Ps5 will be a much superior console to Ps4 and it makes sense for the elite to keep up with this evolution. I don't say graphically but in a much more fluid gaming experience. For example, atmospheric landings make a lot more sense in a Ps5 because the planets will be much more elaborate than the rocky and ice planets we have today.
Another SANE person just arrived...THANK YOU!!!![]()
Easy-peasy really - I always play ED my way.... Then another will come along and tell me I'm doing it wrongStout fellow!
Did you ever experienced an A.I. getting tired?Aren't you tired?
