Explanation for everyone

[LongTimePlayer]

Knowing how software companies operate from inside, I can tell, that any request, any change usually requires analysis, discussion, implementation details, then if green light is given, development time starts, then goes testing time, then again goes development time and again extensive testing... And this cycle is repeated until the product or feature is ready to be released. Each hour is a lot of money required to be paid for the staff. Staff is not some kind of super brain having folks, they are people. So not everything goes as intended. And even after testing and release there are still unnoticed problems present... Also if the income is not covering all that development, then company concentrate on a different products that bring money, so later they can continue working on not so financially successful products. It is still not clear how successful is ED...

Having in mind that we had Christmas, today will have a New Year, all your complains about something will be read by support on Monday maybe.. Also any feature, depending on its complexity and integration with everything, will appear in 2 to 6 months period, if it started today. So calm down, stop making thread by thread and wait for the response.

Happy New Year for all Commanders, and Happy New Year for all the Frontier Developments staff !

I fully agree, but bear in mind they have alreday been working on some stuff, although like you I think it will be about 2 months before we see any big change.

I think we'll see some pretty hefty patches in the next couple weeks myself.

They were pumping out some decent patches almost every day after release

I will happily suggest ideas and voice minor complaints in this forum, but I would never expect any suggestions in General Discussion to be read or cared about. There are places to seriously suggest ideas or complain about issues. General Discussion is for wishing and griping, yeh?
