ANNOUNCEMENT Community Update - January 3306
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
So no chance of getting my PS trophy for achieving community goals now then? Cheers.
Last night (11 Mar 2020) D2ea made a statement in a podcast that there will be no Fleet carriers, apparently, there will be little, if any development on ED at all "for the foreseeable future" as quoted from a document he had. Has anyone else seen the same information, or reached the same conclusion?
Got a link and timestamp?

I happen to have a document that states the exact opposite! I created it this morning.
Oh no, even more doom?
Not sure if this was what he was referencing: DtEA's YouTube video "Hello Dave" where he stated, "...where [FDEV] were not planning to do any new community goals or new interstellar initiatives or write any new Galnet articles... and they basically said they were not going to continue it, and [FDEV] would let us know if that ever changes."
Stephen had previously clarified to Rootsrat that Fleet Carriers would be part of the next update. In relation to that Stuart asked about CGs, IIs, and Galnet.
However what Stephen said to Stuart when asked in relation to CGs, IIs, and Galnet, was...No... (paraphrased)
Most of this was announced last week, so maybe things have changed since then. I mean the earth has moved approximately 23,149,152 km from where it was when FDEV told this to the community.
BTW, many thanks to @StuartGT and @rootsrat for the clarifying questions and CM Stephen for the response.
EDIT: CM Will did walk the statement about the end of CGs, IIs and Galnet back a bit in clarifying Stephen's Statement.

So you're suggesting @Mac Ingram lied?
I did run across this "document" that ended up on the Fleet Carriers thread....
Since it looks like a Sophomoric Photoshop Frankenstein, my opinion is that it's not official:
Maybe people were just misguided or misinformed. Or maybe this is real and FDEV really have moved everyone to working on next era, so they're hiring primary students to do PR.

Why can't Photoshop be a force for good in ED? Its all about swapping heads and making Aisling say funny things and not this sort of thing which is just, well, sad.
Good to see the "Brains Trust"were in to provide valued and thoughtful comment!
Frontier are going to produce an F1 based management game and have contracted with the F1 Organisation to make 4 parts starting this year. It looks like ED will just be left to drift, with little if any updates. No doubt they will transfer all of their Dev team to do this.
But Carriers are not coming, and the level of support to Elite Dangerous is being cut back.............
