Yup, how many are "playing" the game as a separate screen clicking a button to refill cargo hold with X generic PP commodity and once in a blue moon fly off to deliver it to the closest star system they can regardless if they NEED it.
I wonder if the devs have ever looked at that part and how "active" players really are.
They didn't really need to. They could have looked at the feedback given during the Beta, held it back and redeveloped it. Instead they just pushed it out.

Whoa, almost 1300 votes! Looks like a crunchy number.
Maybe they'll crunch on it in the next newsletter?
Or maybe they'll make a new rare good out of it? Sammarco Crunchies with 200% more crunch for free!

This is the biggest hurdle. For all we know Sandro and Michael are sitting in Cambridge drunk and shaking their heads saying "Why did we release this misbegotten hellspawn on our poor players and how do we fix it now?" Ok so they're probably not saying exactly that...
perhaps a similar but less emotive response. Because there's people playing it, and because of pride they can't admit it's a stuff up and pull it... and realistically the game can use a decent political sim so pulling PP isn't the answer. Rather I'd be stopping development on the current PP and redesigning it from the ground up so that I could eventually replace the existing one with something actually worth playing, with sufficient scope and depth that it justifies a seperate expansion rather than just a small core update.Yes... but not because the DDF had been followed, but because to do so would mean they'd learned their lesson about rushing out half formed ideas, and gone with longer, more complete development and actual communication with players/testers instead of either ignoring us or telling us we're wrong.
This poll just keeps growing. Not surprised at all by the results.
Well, that actually sounds slightly promising don't you think?
My response on that thread:-
I do fear they'll limit the scope of the revamp though so it'll basically stay much the same

Indeed, they have a history of doing "not nearly enough" when what they need is "something truly amazing and inspired" is what they really need.
I'm afraid "the forum community" have lost the last bit of credibility after this poll.
I like the underlying concept, but the implementation is just completely uninspired.
In what way?
Yes, silly me for voting appropriately and then explaining in detail how I feel... then adding numerous suggestions to the latest PowerPlay Ideas/Feedback thread.
Not enough fanboism.
I'm very offended at the assertion we had any credibility at all. We've all been working very hard for quite a long time to get shot of that stuff!
Yep, I figured few people would get confused.
What I meant to say is such negativity (or should I say objectivity) might discourage FD from further consultations with the community. Perhaps I should have used more smiley's..

Yep...youre right...the smileys would have done it...I would have understood your cryptic comment clearly with a few added smileys...thanks for the explanation btw
