Concerns about the company.

To the current management. Mainly CEO and David Braben if he's still out there.

In short i feel like the company lacks direction. For almost a decade the plan seems to be keep it secret and everyone will be hype when we announce it that plan seems to have backfired based on the current shareprice Trends. The investor reports dont fix these issues either if anything they reinforce them. I believe if frontier is going to have to set out it advance what it plans to do within the next 5 years for all its current IPs. No more decoy cunning plans. Elite dangerous could be making a killing had core content and capabilities been expanded for the player widening the scope for cosmetics and potential player purchases. The low player count because of the lack of mechanics does not help this situation either. The game is effectively the same as it was when powerplay released in reality when it comes to community play. Planet zoo desperately needs a console release at least even spoken about by the company. Frankly the 3rd party IPs are just flashes in the pan for frontier they do not help frontiers image. The only thing i could have got on board with was buying up petroglyph and arranging a star wars empire at war remake with disney which would have been possible if the studio was purchased now foundry is gone not much hope of that i guess.

To get to the point tell us what exactly the 5 year plan is with details. We don't need summarys of what we would like to do we need the target 5year endgame for the IPs.
You have the in house engine. The games and still in profit. Use them. Sooner than later goodwill only goes so far. Elite community knows this far too well. Increase the baseline player count not the flash sale spikes.
 
not a single mention of elite in the long term strategy section just saying. nothing in there says to me theres a long term plan other than the same plan as every other company. the Elite section is one slide references xbox and ps releases but doesnt say they are cut off from updates that are mentioned in the next paragraph no future prospects except thargoid war overtime.

Elite had nothing to do with the share price ride. They went up because they expanded into publishing and the market expected them to grow. That didn't do so well and they are withdrawing from publishing and the market has gone flaccid on their prospects. If anything, ED is still doing OK for them, 5 year plans or not.

Nothing? I think you are wrong there. IIRC, Odyssey's lackluster launch was actually mentioned in a previous shareholder report, and it likely had repercussions that last even today. Now if you were to say that Elite isn't the sole reason for the share price ride, then I'd agree wholeheartedly.
 
The spectacular jump to 300? Absolutely not. ED isn't that great a game. That was definitely shareholders speculating on Frontier becoming big by becoming a publisher. It didn't work out, that's gambling for ya. ED's contribution to that is negligible. They had more game failures than just ED.
