"For intelligent thought and analysis" in this case presumably meaning "for thinking what I think".

Accountants still do sums? You do realise it's 2019? We have these machines called computers to do the sums now. An accountant mostly translates the numbers into something the mangers/shareholders/taxman can actually understand.
That's why you don't see bookkeepers anymore, their jobs have been rendered obsolete by Sage, Xero, Quickbooks, etc.
Next in the firing line are the middle ranking accountants though the top level of accountants are essentially beyond the reach of automation.
I may be one of the last who can still do mental arithmatic...

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
The team fixing bugs in Elite is not the same as the team rolling out the new forum.
Also, Frontier is a company with more games cooking than just Elite. They'd be fools to let their forum atrophy as it will hamper them when they release future titles.

great minds and all...
Would it be too evil of me to say that you aren't one of the last who can do mental spelling?
Fortunately computers can chek are speling two.I did indeed
lol - someone didn't read the thread Guys... bare with me... I'm TRYING to learn the multi-Quote thing, so I don't post 4 or 5 posts at a time, but it isn't working as I'm thinking it should... But, alas, I am trying...
There are other forums for this sort of thing
Are you aware that that's only half the quote?
heh - had to look that up
The same thing happened to this OP so at least we can say that this community is coherent in reacting to this type of "crepe"
Pancakes are yummy
I strongly doubt they don't care. I mean crikey I think they make some bad calls at times and certainly make mistakes but not care?
Silence and lack of visibility doesn't mean nothing is happening - frustrating as it is we'll just have to wait and see what they say and what they do.
In the meantime the game is still actually fun, rough edges and all
as a way of saying. meaning they don't care in no way enough (ofc in my opinion, which nihila vex will surely point out). and it's a simple matter of priorities, frontier has several cakes in the oven and they are not going to get nuts about some quirks in some of them because, obviously, people are eating cake enough. so why go through that effort just to do the right thing? it won't bring more sales. a new franchise will, massively. the choice is clear.
that's why i consider bug threads like these a bit naive. nothing is going to change because frontier has already found their optimal balance of quality and revenue. which is abysmal if you ask ME (just so nihila knows) but works well enough on the large population. a defect is still a defect, though, and speaks volumes.
And how lucrative do you think a new forum framework is
since you seem to enjoy the luxury, in red and bold, to state the obvious that a poster's opinions are his own, i take you either have no opinion of your own or are in the happy posession of an absolute, definitive truth you don't even need to share? anyhow you found the secret of happiness! congratulations!
had to smile with the times new roman thing
not as much as yet another game franchise projected to churn out $$$ over a decade. i'm aware op linked this to the effort spent on the forums, but i don't agree, i just explain why the priority of quality is what it is and not likely to change.
FDev are already working on three new franchises. Game 4 is due this year, game 5 due next year. Game 6 (international IP) is due 2021 and will start production later this year.
