Please Ed, don't think for a minute Mengy could be some sort of a community speaker (even if he might think so, he never was. For the record: me neither btw... not that I'm totally disagreeing with his comment). Other than that, reassuring news! And now I need to reveal the mystery how 'nice', 'complicated' 'little' and 'ultimately wonderful' possibly fits into one and the same single cocktail... Well played!
There are (or should be) no individuals that speak on behalf of 'the community'. I bought into a game designed by a professional game designer, the 'game they want to play'. Focused Feedback is great for gathering ideas (I've put forward a few myself) and testing whether the designers' concepts would be well received but ultimately I put my money down to buy what Frontier decide is best, based on the decisions made before I paid.
I would like to know what's planned for the future, the big picture. I'm sure I'll have an opinion on the details of how it could be implemented but without that big picture plan there is little any feedback can be constrained by so it doesn't interfere with other (as yet unannounced) features & tools.
There are parts that are secret & perhaps some of major plot points cannot be revealed without spoiling a surprise twist somewhere along the line, but a
basic outline of currently planned features would be very helpful to mitigate the wilder speculation & ideas put forward & give some scope to work within.
