FDEV - Rumours in Codex - will we ever see them?

[Lightspeed]

But if we knew when they were coming, could they really be classed as rumours ?

Seems to me the ideal solution would have been to add some before anyone chased it up

It's a game, we have a rumours section. That some are on their way should not come as a surprise, if anything it's the lack of them that's the surprise

I think we need to look back at things that were discovered previously to look at what rumours might be used for.

If we had the codex at the time, how would these have been presented

After Jaques failed jump to Beagle point, his distress transmissions could have given clues that appeared in the rumours section, giving clues what to look for, perhaps[s in several sector candidates so it wasn't too much a clue

After their "Bribery" CG this chap could have given the clues we got as a rumour in the codex to find the crashed Thargoid ships

Rumours rather than being lucky enough to meet them in game

Halsey's visions were supposed to give us clues to find the Guardian worlds so would have been perfect

Barnacles and UAs would definitely been first appearing as rumours, and natural curiosity around Merope would have then lead to the rest.

The Dynasty projects and Rift story as rumours

All the same clues we got be presented in the codex, supplemented by Galnet News stories

So it isn't just rumours to find things unfound in general, but rumours to find things that are connected to the story arcs

I am still hoping we will get a Galnet news article about a transmission from Gan Romero which becomes a rumour leading to the next guardian discovery and the Sisterships to the Saravati

But I think we need to wait until there is a next step in the story line that needs the player base to find something we haven't, which may not be the case at the moment

The fact that the Codex has been out as long as it has and is not only confusing as to its actual intent and content (as evidenced by the disucssion here), but missing a headline feature that was advertised at its launch is pretty disappointing.

The Fact that Elite Dangerous has been out as long as it has and is not only confusing as to its actual intent and content (as evidenced by the discussion on the forums), but missing headline features that were advertised at its launch is pretty disappointing

Meanwhile FD report record profits, David becomes a millionaire, buys new HQ, buys expensive hollywood licences, and moves to other games living us with radio silence and false promises.... one day the team is sooo soo good and has done a wonderful job just you wait, but please pay upfront, the other day development is so hard and we have to understand poor Fdev

Imo it`s all our fault, especially the most rabid fanboys, who simply told FD you can do whatever you want we will buy anything you throw at us in advance for premium regardless of progress

the said thing is that most of those fans are gone already from the game :/ yet I`m still here watching this abomination of Elite franchise going nowhere

If that's the case then why did they made it sound like Rumours are just around the corner after Codex was released?

For the same exact reason why they told us comets are around the corner, and for the same reason they pumped out all the early newsletters, and for the same reason they promised us proper market analysis tools, meaningful black market trade, elite missions like VIP escort or espionage that you would get when you gain high ranks, for the same reason they promised us other SRV`s and Settlements that will only ever get bigger up to full blown cities during the course of horizons, for the same reason they showed us animated gas giants that never made it to the game, for the same reason they showed us the nice and colourful orrery 5 years ago and told us its almost ready only to release a bare bones hacked DEV tool years later and pretend all is fine.... I could go on like this fort hours but the answer is simple

FOR MONEY.... We should have listened to Ian when he warned us about David`s priorities.... Do you think we are more important to DB than his, at that time, Friend? Did he hasitate then to F him over? Why would he now with us.... It`s all good business... THE KIDS WILL PLAY IT
