Frontier Development Communications

I'd leave the newsletters as they are, but the community manager, who presumably reads the forums quite often should take note of the "hot topics" and then once every two weeks do a sticky thread answering them, having gathered the answers from the devs etc
Problem solved.
 
I am confident FD is going to release a beautiful game with only a few minor bugs. That's really something for a 1.00 release. I am impressed with the progress, the rate of updates, the stability of the game. I have not experienced crashes, connection problems, bad framerates. I had issues with the controls resetting, but that vanished after wiping the 'save game' two times and after an update. Not sure what the problem was but it's fine. I have an issue with interdictions since they basically force you to become a crack flyer/fighter (in my opinion) before you can make serious money in safe systems, but things like that will be addressed if this bothers more people. If not I should just shut up about it and play other games.

I am happy with updates in changelogs and in Youtube videos and I know that feedback is read. if developers interact personally that's something really special, working towards a deadline is always a mad house. The quality of communication is more than you can ask, in my opinion. We are spoiled with modern communications. In the old days you could write a letter and hope for a reply in weeks or even months. You had to rely on reviews and interviews in the press. If you got a copy of a game or any software title a patch was really rare. If you bought a game and opened the package there was little chance for a refund, even if you bought a title by accident for another computer system, or for i.e. your computer with memory expansion while you didn't have that. It was 'take it or leave it'.
