Nahh, instead we can create our own content by bashing each other over the head with large sticks.
....what? It worked for Cavemen.

Of course increasing the devteam will allow for faster development. If that wasn't the case, all game development teams would have only a couple of dozen people - one per role. The Elite devteam itself has increased in size throughout the game's pre-and-post-release development.
My hope of FDev expanding the Elite devteam by another 50 devs throughout 2020 can allow those transferred staff time to acclimatise to developing the specific game, and gradually begin working on post-NewEra content/improvements. It's very unlikely that a transferred dev will be up to speed instantly, but instead will need 3-6 months to adjust to working with the Elite devteam and on Elite Dangerous itself (tools, workflows, codebase, etc).

Frontier Xtra takes a dark turn....
A module pane that correctly displays the status of modules, and stays on the module I select.
2020 will hopefully see our bowls full of freshly baked content, but until then we have crumbs. And hot Java.
Will it be enough? It will have to be I guess. If we ration the crumbs between us, we may survive.
I flew out to Colonia recently to struggle to find things to do out there. I’ve since suicided my way back to the bubble and I’m now buying ships that I don’t need just to engineer them to G5. On the plus side, HGE rates are up.
I think, it's not going to change, not until the new era update anyway.
For some reason, we can't has interesting new content anymore.
I keep going on about it, but it was a lot better two years ago (formidine rift, zuara, the probe and ua mystery, inra bases, guardian and thargoid bases, etc), even though things were not exactly moving quickly back then, it did feel that there was always the chance of something going on.
Since the end of 2018 it's been pretty stale though. We don't need earth shattering updates all the time, but we need something constantly happening.
I get that the interstellar initiative is a thing, but it feels so dialed in, " hey we've got this cool story idea, should we make it into some big puzzle, treasure hunt, exploration adventures, add clues to listening posts, mega ship battles, multi stage missions?"... "um, nah, just make it a couple of trade cgs and a combat zone fight thing,, ok, back to sleep".

Oh here we go
another paying customer who thinks employees should actually do the job they get paid to do (facetious)I'm sure in frontiers eyes it is. They probably think if we'd spend more in store they'd have more money to 'create' with (only 20% joking)Sorry I forgot, it's all the players fault
Well at least you're optimistic about the new era, I was more thinking like this.
Yeh i agree. Ive pretty much lost all faith in Frontier now. Their credibility is at an all time low where im concerned. I just dont believe or trust them anymore.
I have little faith that the 2020 update will be anything remarkable and frontier will find a way to screw it up.
No more "new" ships. It'll just be another reskin like an anaconda that can't carry fighters or whatever.
What we need is a unique new SRV that is more combat oriented or has a bigger cargo(2 tons is crap when I'm trying to do guardian stuff, it sucks having to go back and forth between your ship and the ruins ever 30 seconds) or a real reason to even touch ground on planets outside of the grind for materials to engineer stuff
That is a good point, why remove\delete modules or other aspects that were previously used in-game - Let the player choose whether to utilize the "old" modules or try the new replacements - I don't use the FSS module as an example, I tried it, having to stop\ initialize\scan\ decide whether to explore or continue is not a good design - Incorporation of the FSS with the Advanced Discovery Scanner should have been the logical addition.
I said it before somewhere else, I don't mind them concentrating on bug fixing at all, it's about time actually, it's just that imho it shouldn't have come this far that this bugfixing would come at the expense of content.
Most gamedevs I know of add stuff and fix bugs at the same time, Fdev is obviously not able to do two things at the same time.
My confidence regarding the Fleet Carriers or the new Era is low, previously added content was nice for a short while too but lack the necessary depth to remain interesting for a long time.
I'm afraid the upcoming content will be half baked yet again.
Don't apologize for telling the truth
Would you prefer a good old open vs solo rump?
It's not like there's anything new for the past year (and next 6 months - at least) to talk about anyway...
How about a power play open only or a "remove solo/PG and make Elite into an Eve Online lite right now or I quit!"
