Fleet Carriers Q3 2018, NOPE delayed, Fleet Carriers December 2019 watch these flashy new teaser trailers, NOPE delayed, hmm Sounds like another space game. Perhaps a title change "Elite Citizen"

Are you really comparing a single and partial element of a game (fleet carriers) which has been offered for free, with the totality of two complete games (SC and SQ42) that have been fully paid by the community to the tune of 230+ million USD and is still to be delivered after more than 7 years?

Ok.

If you really want to discuss SC more in detail may I suggest this thread.

Well, yes, refund me the LEP you sold me in 2015 FDEV, it's not even funny anymore. From a business perspective it's a pure clear scam.

The last update that you could be truly excited about was 2.0. Planetary Landings. They really worked on that they really put a great effort that autumn, they were working hard, and we all were in awe. Yes, we figured pretty much on a 2nd day there's not that much to do, but FDEV told us "Don't worry, we'll get more content to planets next year. Including Lava worlds + ... our Moon.". We all know what happened next.

That was 4 years ago. Whoever is so naive that wants to wait more - go ahead. I'm pretty much almost 40 now and I don't generally believe in fairy tales.

Did you read their financial reports? Do you see how many new IP are planned? There's no need to fool yourself anymore, there's simply no resources and no wish from FD to invest any meaningful effort into FD. It wasn't done for last 4 years, why all of the sudden it will change?

It won't.

I will not list all delays, broken promises, etc. that occurred over a years, people with minimal critical thinking, people that have more than 1-hr momentary memory do remember those things. It's simply irrelevant at this point of time.

Total disaster at mismanagement, lack of programmers, crazy buggy code done by 100's predecessors or pure cold lie - doesn't matter at this point.

For months and YEARS we are forced to live with a 'dream' that something grand will release that would suddenly be a true 'next era'. You want to fool yourself further? Go ahead, it's personal choice.

I can't. No. Not anymore.

I completely agree, FD what's happening?
this is the end...=(

not sure if someone else has mentioned this, but seeing lot's of "but FD has"insert number here" people working on elite, why delay things/they must be crap". I'm wondering why people think a 3d modeller/sound artist can rewrite sections of the base code? Well we all know the answer is they can't, out of the many people working on the game how many are actually programmers capable of truly delving into the deep code of the game...I'm guessing not as many as people think.

TLDR, the number of people who "work" on the game is utterly irrelevant for bug fixing.

Community: There's been no new content for existing players for ages baaaawwww

FD: But we told you about that and you were oka-

Community: BAAAAAAWWWWWW

FD: Okay! Here's the new content you existing players have been waiting for

Community: WHAT!? How dare you give us new content when there are bugs in the game! Why don't you ever fix the BUUUUUUUGGGGSSSS!!?

FD: We do! We fix hundreds with every pat-

Community: NOT FAST ENOUGH! NO NEW CONTENT UNTIL THE BUGS ARE FIXED!

FD: Okay! We'll stop everything we're doing right now and fix the bugs first. But it means the new content needs to be delayed again.

Community: WHAT!? YOU NEVER GIVE US NEW CONTENT! NEW CONNNTTEEENNTTT NOW!

FD: But we can't do both!

Community: We want a whole year of bug fixes, and a whole year of new content. ALL IN THE SAME YEAR! BAAAWWWWWWWW
Click to expand...
Community: Nope we just want the content we've been waiting for nearly 3 years like you promised.

FD: We ne..... errrr BAAAAAAWWWWWWW

Why do you think it will be "non-functional" ? if they focus on fleet carrier update and ready to release it WITH BETA PHASE , everything will be fine.
That's what people ask for , fix the bugs and give old beta phases for updates like in sep. and dec.
And after Fleet Carrier beta and release stages they can focus on fix old bugs till we get DLC "New Era" , everything is simple.
I'm just one of those tired of waiting for empty promises , sorry for that.

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...

Any word on the ice planet improvements? I was looking forward to that much more than fleet carriers, but it seems to almost have been forgotten about.

We're not saying that the game was in maintenance mode since early 2018... but the game was in maintenance mode since early 2018.

Thank you for confirming what those of us with any sense already knew.

There are less features in the game today than there was 6 months ago, and you aren't going to add anything new for 8 months?! When are AXCZs coming back,? Or are they one of the over 2000 bugs you claim your going to fix before fleet Carriers comes out. Honestly you guys have eliminated them from the game and it is the only challenging PvE combat in the game. When are we going to get the game we had 6 months ago back?

22 months, so far, since fleet carriers were announced. If FD can not get them working in that timeframe what are they doing?
Click to expand...
It does make you wonder! Perhaps it's proving to be a very difficult implementation, due to the underlying game design and the way it's been written.
Perhaps they should consider putting the game into maintenance mode, and start on a new Elite game completely, learning from the issues, bugs and design flaws they supposedly have today?

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.
Brand new Milky Way Galaxy, everyone starts from scratch........that'll go down well:eek:
