Discovery Scanner [Weekly Update] - 04/04/2022

Any more work going to be done to the game with regards to performance and optimisations? Just so the game is actually playable on the advertised system specifications.
 
When will we have a roadmap or developer diary like we had before, to show us what's coming for the game in the coming months?
I really enjoyed it, it made me excited to know what was coming next month or months
Do these updates apply to console as well ?
 
As many people already pointed out - where are development updates? Addressing of issues from previous "updates"? The promised fixes for the Colonia FSDs? I mean the community events and all that is nice, but what about future content? Why the devs aren't including the full list of changes they make after each update? There is always several "hidden" changes that happen with each update and some of them are not ever acknowledged like the weird hexagons that appear on the HUD when a player is in a ship and joins a team. Give us more information and not only "scripted" streams by the CMs where they disregard any questions of the sort I just asked above and the person asking them gets timed out because 'stop repeating the same question' reasoning done by the moderators of the chat while how can I change my question if it is not answered and I want it to be seen? As always very disappointing and those of us who still play the game and enjoy it are not doing because we hope that Fdev will finally deliver the game they promised, but because of other commanders that we connect with using 3rd party tools again because of lacking features in the game itself and the only "personal narrative" driving most of the veteran players is either BGS activities or AX combat everything else is rather dead.
Sorry for the long post although doubt many will read till this point and differently no CM (prove me wrong)

Just thought I'd add a comment to provide an additional view, from one of the ones who "...still play the game and enjoy it ..." because I'm not quite represented in the statement made... :giggle:
I play and enjoy what is available currently in the game, and generally it is on my own - because I enjoy the solitude and exploration, the unknown. I'm really glad that it is possible for people to enjoy playing the game together AND that I can enjoy time alone too :cool:
BGS and AX combat do not interest me at all.
Exploration and a little trading - to fund occasional exploratory ship builds - are my main enjoyment.
On-foot missions are sometimes fun - wandering around new locations and the different base designs has been interesting too.
I have read through your post to the end as well, you make valid points - I must be one of the few :unsure::D ?
Although we may play/enjoy Elite for different reasons, I can say that no other software title has continued to provide me with the interest and opportunities - the 'feel' of (the now possible) setting foot on a planet which I've never been to before...
Thank you for sharing your frustrations - I also share disappointments with you :cry:
However, I am purposing to attempt focus on what is enjoyable now - 🚀
'Cause if Elite were to 'cease' being available, there would truly be a [black] hole within me which none else could fill ...

I believe you are all asking in the wrong place.
There wasn't a single CM comment between last week and now. Apparently they want to focus on their website and the live streams for community 'interaction'.
So I guess that means they finally killed the forums. (this would be a good place to tell me I am wrong CM team - wink wink, nudge nudge)

EDIT
They probably just remembered their passwords:

When, as they said, they finished 'gathering the questions' that are 'very important to answer internally' so they can 'inform this communication plan' because it is 'important to address key subjects by priority'. Fortunately they are working 'incredibly hard' to 'gather this information'.

This is a very normal and open answer to your question. :)
 
What's with all the:
Any news on <insert random un-mentioned concept here>
?

Surely, were there news, you would be reading it? Surely, were there news, then it being news, you would be aware of it before your inane post?

In answer to your question (all of you) no, there is no news on that topic. When there is, your question will be equally useless as now.

You have to read into it. What people are really saying, in a generalised form is: “Please add new features/improvements to the game”.
 
And what some other people are saying with that probably is "Hey Frontier, did you forget about X? You said you'd do that thing but it's been ages since you last mentioned it. Is it still planned or did it get cut too?" Engineering feedback being one of the numerous examples. Or was that just another inane post too? :unsure:

People have the right to ask questions, just like you have the right to be unpleasant about it.

Communication from Fdev has gone down the toilet since Sally left. Queue the white knights storming to the rescue, well done chaps.
