"Yes it's amazing, it's all gone well. This has been the best year for us in general due to the money we've made from Jurassic World and the fact that we have such a monopoly on the space game genre that we've been able to park Elite in maintenance mode under the pretense of "a year of focusing on core gameplay updates". All the while keeping the embers burning away with minor updates and marketing hype so that we can resume development in 2019 as if nothing had happened."
Yeah.. all this brand new and rework development is clearly an indication of maintenance mode.
