This is not true, and varies alot between companies. Take Star Citizen as one example... but... I also have seen companies doing closed Alphas and Betas and open Alphas and Betas... The list can go on for quite a bit. Elite Dangerous itself had a Gamma back in the day for the kickstarters.

I would like to add this...
*If you have a negative narrative about ED and FD, you will lie by omission in order to present your narrative as truth
I did say I knew nothing, thanks for the information.
That's standard troll tactics though.
The best are those that say something akin to "I was just saying my opinion, I expect you to link/quote the facts"
That is known, and it is indeed due to the frame rate. I think it is in the issue ticket.
Now if only I knew how to change my frame rate. Is it worth downgrading graphics for... hmmm....
Isn't that what your list just described?
Or, maybe your list is describing what ED community, as a whole, asks for FD to do in a single stroke, sort of? If that is the case, I can agree that my addition doesn't fit... but... I do have a funny feeling that some people, in this case, are actually asking for all of what is in your list, and it all has to be released at the same time... yesterday, prefered.
Agreed!Isn't that what your list just described?

That's because neither chlorine nor sodium exist in the universe.
I use KCl on my food, but I got a heart condition.
Unfortunately, Xbox & PS CMDRs cannot alter their frame rate. Tieing a mechanic to framerate isn't the answer.
Seeing as the September Update arrived a month ago, you appear to have exampled a bug that isn't quick to fix.
I am in favour of the focus on bugs, and iterate the sentiment already expressed. Make it real, make it focused AND please FD make sure your version control and regression testing is spot on. The worse thing I can see happening (as has happened before) is that you fix something and then it is reintroduced again in a subsequent release.
I really enjoy this game, I want it to last a bit longer....

You know that stuff is radioactive, right?
(I actually did my A-level physics practical on it. There's several radioactive isotopes of potassium in naturally occurring minerals. I could determine which batches came from the same site by their radioactivity. But it isn't dangerous; only mildly above background.)
A bit longer? I am quite far from becoming a senior, but when I do get there, I'd still want to play ED.
Don't call me 'Diffin'.
I haven't 'had a go' at anyone. I've just been 'taking out the trash', as they say. I don't have 'a thing' about the way people express themselves. I have 'a thing' about being called 'a complete idiot' on this thread just for asking a simple question pertinent to the OP's announcement; I have 'a thing' about people casually using the word 'idiot' to describe the intellectually disabled; I have 'a thing' about foreigners telling me that I'm 'in trouble', for living in a country where respect for the rights of defenceless people is cultivated in schools and enforced by law as a matter of Government policy. And if you or anyone else wants to try to provoke me over it, I think I already made it quite clear in my post that you just quoted, that I agree that this forum is certainly not the place to be doing it. And don't tell me to 'chill'. And I'm not your 'buddy'.
Oh, I rather think it is; I wasn't being ironic. Just you go up to the first person you see next time you're on the street in whatever rootless colonial nightmare you hail from, and call them 'a complete idiot' to their face, then tell them it's all right because idiots can't understand when they're being abused, then tell them they live in a totalitarian state, then tell them to stop having a go at people, then tell them to 'just chill buddy', and you'll soon find out just how ironic I was being...the irony of this post is not lost on me

I am on PC, and I am aware of consoles having issues. I do wonder if Star Citizen ever will become a console game though... oh.. sorry... lost my track...
I agree 100% that we, as PC players, also have to respect the fact that Elite: Dangerous is available for both XBoxOne and PS4... sometimes it feels like PC players aren't aware of it. This fact will also dictate, somewhat, the roadmap for Elite: Dangerous as a game. And yes... in some cases it will be a limiting factor.
I wouldn't put anything past Frontier's QA process, but within the last twenty years most companies have got that one beaten. These days you can get the same effect but it's not due to a direct regression. It also happens when there's a complex bit of code that's prone to fail with certain symptoms. Various things that disturb it then cause the same thing to happen. They get fixed and then something else fails and has the same effect. Hopefully that sort of thing is what gets fixed when they look at stability issues. They should not only fix the bugs but also the weak code that keeps being a problem.
FDev thinks: we've spoiled these awful people and should have donated their money to a charity for the intellectually disabled instead of giving them what they demanded. The rest of the community would have understood.
I doubt that the delay in introducing fleet carriers will have a positive effect on improving the quality of the game. Alas, the trend of updates is not in favor of the developer. There has not been a single update, large or small, which did not entail a number of serious problems. As for me, you will spend almost a year fixing current problems, but the very first update with new content will return them from nonexistence.
