This is good to see, but a couple things seem a bit irksome.
You've always paid attention to the community, thats not my issue here. But it's the wording to suggest that you're doing this and other updates because some commanders complain is just ludicrous.
To suggest the only reason you're making changed to lighting is to make them in line with some Commanders expectations is meaning to suggest you, at Frontier, were happy with how lighting/the rest of Odyssey was, at launch. And, as extension, that you've only been doing updates for us. Hold up here. The reason you're doing these updates is because your numbers are low. That's it. Don't try and pass this off as you're doing this because of our requests. The reason you're paying attention to our requests may be attributed to the fact whatever you released clearly was not something that increased the player base, as it should have, so now you are needing assistance, with the hope and goal of getting back on track, but don't suggest anything other than you're out of touch.
You've gone through items before, and said they'd be crossed off the list as done. What galaxy are you all in? The one I'm in has proven that while maybe an item or 2 gets solved, others become worse or raise more issues. Please dont raise anyones expectations here to suggest, after loading update 7, that lighting, or anything on this list, with be 'completed'. You're just begging for the 5 minutes after posts of "this isn't fixed". Make an abbreviation... "As far as we know, it's done" AFEWKID. Something like that, but dont mislead folks. And, really, how can you? It may work fine on your systems there, but if nothing else, we know things are not working the same on different setups, etc.
I want to know why you cant make different concourse areas, different asteroid stations, etc. It's nice you can change the railings, or colours. But why cant we have different layouts/models there? To me, things that are copied in such a way, just seem like placeholders and that one day they'll be changed to how it is intended to be. For example, the screens in cockpits are a single jpeg, no movement. That seems like a placeholder since, in reality, maybe the graph being depicted would change. But what I want to hear is whether that, and station concourses, etc, are indeed placeholders, and will change or they wont. But more importantly, if they wont change, I want to hear why they wont. Is it that the models are deeply woven in the code? Is it that the servers will blow up? Why, in a galaxy with more than 400 billion systems, can we only have 1 concourse? What the actual f is the reason we can only have copy/pasted stuff? Can anyone tell me that? Is it some gaming thing, where you can only have 8 assets? If so, I want to hear it, so I know not to expect a second concourse, ever.
