The directiopn of the product right now is to fix as many bugs as possible, as stated by the roadmap.
We do, it's in the roadmap. Why would we have a roadmap of fixes if they were not included there. I think now you're the one speculating...
Awesome and how many is as many as they can? It might be one or a thousand or none at all.
It's almost like we need a roadmap to highlight which bugs are getting fixed in which release.
It's a meaningless statement without something to measure it against.
Should they be called patch forks?
I don't play other games. I find time to play one game, this one. So if FDev forces me to play something else because they can't get their act together, I am gone, for good. The reason I picked this one is because I played Elite '84 and I knew I loved the vision of the game. I am sure I am not the only old fart that feels this way.There is another approach - play other games. That's what I've been doing and I've had FUN FUN FUN! No game is worth getting depressed about with the array of entertainment choices we have these days, especially with Xbox Game Pass.
Other games get updated on a regular basis and don't leave players hanging for months until basic bugs are fixed. Check out what the developers of Stellaris are doing and ask yourself why we can't have the same approach for ED:
Stellaris Dev Diary #214: Announcing “The Custodians” initiative and the free Lem Update
Greetings! Today I am here to announce some very good news! Stellaris is not slowing down, but rather picking up the pace! We at PDS Green are very happy to announce our new “Custodians” initiative as well as the next free update, coming...forum.paradoxplaza.com
How do I get a refund?
This roadmap is intentionally vague.

We don't know, we will know latter.
There is no point in being angry now. you can be angry if the fixes don't satisfy you. You don't know if they will or not right now, unless you can see the future that is.
It is a roadmap. Just a roadmap out of the city we're starting in, rather than a roadmap all the way to the next city we want to get to.
We should not surprised. FDev have a lot of work to do to sort EDO out, and promising a roadmap with only ten days prep does not allow for much long-term planning. They've told us their immediate short-medium term plans: fix as much that's broken as possible ASAP, and then expand to other platforms. That's fair enough for now. I'm fine giving them more time to let them plan and communicate to us a longer-term vision.
No, I'll be angry now thanks. What was promised was not what was delivered. The delivery was about finances and not about the customer. the "beating heart" that fdev calls the community was ignored and instead It was about the wallet and only the wallet. That makes me angry. At best it's double standards. At worse it's downright lying.

It all depends on what "many fixes" means. Does it mean you'll fix the AI footfolk all instantly knowing your location? Do you mean fixing all those broken ground missions?
Other than that, there's not much to glean from this "roadmap" other than Odyssey should have been delayed and your need to reconsider what is called an alpha. Because I think you mistake soft launches for an alpha. This was not an alpha, you soft-launched the game and it feels you didn't actually expect to act on player feedback, not with a release happening just weeks later.
I'm just gonna continue my hiatus and check in again in 6-12 months. There's unfortunately no incentive for me to play this game at the moment.

I know, right?
This is true. Maybe they need to take longer and provide an almost MSFS like roadmap. I wonder how hard fdev are crunching the devs. According to glassdoor - very hard and that should stop.
Let's just say that the road this is a map to, was set to music by an Australian band in 1979... (Album release 27th July 1979, should be enough for people to google it). And it did not require same-day hotfixes.
Second star to the right and on til morning
Let me get it straight: you're advocating that the roadmap is "exactly what they told us we would get".
At the same time, you want everyone to believe we'll get more than the announced roadmap fixes.
Make up your mind.
Well as expected Fdev did the least amount of work possible here. This is NOT a roadmap. This is a quickly slapped together patch update plan for the next month to try to stabilize the beta. This is insulting. It took you all this time to bullet point out a few basic missing features and structure? You guys are becoming almost as bad as Rockstar games in terms of lack of respect for your customers. Whoever is in charge is doing a really bad job here.
Now I know that mission sharing will be executed in the most basic way with the least amount of work possible. Instead of being able to share missions, we'll only get a few hard to find and VERY difficult team missions which again will be impossible for new players looking to play with their friends. So in reality I doubt we even get real mission sharing at all here in the way it should be designed. Never have I see an MMO designed to function like a single player game. Very sad!

I'm saying not such thing, I'm saying WE DON'T KNOW.....
My mind is pretty much done thank you.

There needs to be a roadmap for the roadmap and, once that's thrashed out, the obligatory announcement of the announcement about it.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Correct. It's almost like the roadmap is as much pretty useless. We don't even have a vague idea of what's coming!
