Elite Roadmap (post update 7) - any news?

We have been given a roadmap back when update 3 was being worked on. That was back in June.
I don't think Frontier were expecting so many bug fixes and updates....

So, Fdev, can you publish a new roadmap now that updates are nearer to completion?
Have the goals changed?
Timescales - console release slipped?

More importantly any future expansions/DLC planned ?

odyssey roadmap: we couldn't fix in 4 months so we will take another 6 to fix
the "competition near completion": in 6 months we might have 1 code line added, but next week there will be 2 new ships avaliable to purchase, stay tuned!

I think pretty much all of this is covered in the develop(er|ment) updates:
...with one more due Thursday next week according to tonight's stream, and also the two issue reports:

Whoa there, steady on! We've got a fair way to go before Odyssey is where it needs to be; let's not get ahead of ourselves.

They've been publishing monthly updates - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/developer-update-3-august.589045/ is the most recent one, and there should be another one next week - on what features and bug fixes are expected in the next few releases.

Yes, console release has been delayed. Can't find the exact announcement right now, but basically "not until Odyssey is working reasonably well on PC" (which probably especially includes performance issues), which won't be until early 2022 at best based on their other announcements.

They've not said anything. I expect that's not something they're even going to consider any announcements on until after the console release.

Nearer to completion ? Right now update 7 is a huge step back again. We'll see if they get the hotfix out of the door today and how well that works. Next up is update 8, which should be the major game performance update. That has the potential to break a lot of stuff again. I honestly can't see any kind of completion in the nearish future.

I don't see any completion soon update 7 introduced a lot of bugs:
  • Weapons damage too weak or too huge
  • Radar blips shown way above on planet, both srv and ship
  • Ship recall broken: Recalled ship stay 200m above the surface and don't move, I had to take a shuttle out...
  • Interdiction gauge bars have dissapeared
  • Now I see even more shuttering and freeze to literally 2fps while in settlements.
  • And many more...

How can this be any positive progress?
