ANNOUNCEMENT Community Update (22/10)

100 pages later, we don't have a clarification from the OP
Sorry to chime in late - while I don't care much about Fleet Carriers and community goals (leave me alone, I stay in solo and don't have time to play anyway), having spent half a career in software projects I still think that fixing bugs is a result of not doing a good job implementing the features. While I approve what I'd call a consolidation phase before going for the next release, the projects I've seen that needed there ran very badly and had a quite instable code base. Beginner or half-hearted devs, little testing, over-ambitions release plans. It's okay if that happens - that's life - but the big question is: what measures are taken that it won't be becoming necessary again?

After five years of false promises (carma system, ironman-mode ...) and missing features (ice planets, fleest carriers ...), immortal bugs and loveless functions (multicrew, galnet-audio, CQC, power-play) I do not expect anything more.
It is strange that there is no mention that FC have been put back in the newsletter..... Almost like it's catastrophically bad news or it's not going to happen... FAKE NEWS...

Surely you expect disappointment...??
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pays better.
Wohooo over 100 pages yall.
Well done to FD for making this possible.
Well done to FD for making this possible.
FD had already had the luxury of a consolidation phase witht the laughable acceptance by everyone that we should call Beyond a 'Season' in which they would bug fix & improve quality of life. Although free it was the trade off of not having any new content. The base game player is still waiting and should but is not commended for their patience. Salt anyone...?

facts are facts.
BIG GAME HUNTING! All hail Lord DB!My missing teeth are a game, too.
Ahhh sooo THAT'S WHAT THE LINKING YOUR FDEV ACCOUNT IS FOR! You misbehave on the forums, you lose access! I'd better logout ;-) </s>
Having same problems here. Steam servers also reporting outage across europe, so perhaps that's related.
Pain in the ass, but I'm glad it's not just me.

Well the newsletter I received has:
Firstly, thank you for all of your feedback on the September Update, which you've shared with us on the forums, across social media, on livestreams and through the Issue Tracker. There is no doubt that, in addition to the new features, the September Update introduced a number of issues and bugs which caused a lot of frustration. We are really sorry for these issues. We realise that some of the issues had an impact on your ability to enjoy Elite Dangerous. The team have been working hard to address the most critical issues and have already released a series of patches and updates to bring those fixes in as quickly as possible.
However, we know there's more to be done. You've asked for more focus on existing bug/fixes and issues, and for the community to be better integrated into the development process and testing for these upcoming updates.
In order to improve your overall experience, we have decided to refocus our efforts on addressing key issues and bugs. Since the launch of the September Update, we've been taking a deeper look at our internal development roadmap, the way in which we utilise public betas, and the content of our next updates...
So maybe they only hate me...
Yeah... it's a New initiative from FDev, buy the game again and we'll give you a working one in 2021
