Probably not. It would be nice but the track record so far isnt convincing.

Just so we're clear though, i love this game. Ive just learned not to expect much and never on time

I feel kind of the same ...but in the past tense.

I love(d) this game.

But over the years that love never felt appreciated and i never felt any love in return - just prepetually dissapointed.

Kind of like real life!
 
I'm starting to believe that the cobra engine is the bug. Its either being under utilized or its fdev that's incapable of harnessing what it has to offer. Being dated as it is I'm thinking it's the engine. The screen tearing and choking during planet entries, the absolute disgusting speed traveling over the surface which auto eliminates the ability to crash into planets( and u should b able to).

I timed it, " it takes two days" to get from orbit to surface. Very poor representation of what it supposed to be. Am I falling through jello?

It's not Cobra. JWE and PC is based on Cobra too. They work fine. Also, my planetary descent takes only seconds, literally. And that's with a crappy 16mps connection.
 
My theory? Braben only ever really wanted to make a modern take on the Elite series. He's technically completed that at this point. At a very base level, Elite Dangerous is really just an upgraded Elite 1984. All this multiplayer stuff is probably, to him, unnecessary fluff. He's done what he's set out to do, so he doesn't particularly care what happens next - he just wants to go back to making rollercoaster/park simulators.

To the surprise of absolutely no one. Not gonna lie, it's getting harder and harder to stay interested in Elite these days. All of this should have been figured out back in 2015.

Make this a public service announcement so people can get on with their lives.
