gamma guestimation?

I just read FD's policy of keeping things reasonably quiet as a way to avoid spoiling the wow factor when we get to experience them in their full glory. Maybe I am just too charitable.

I think a bit more openness would be beneficial. I don't think they need to be as open as Cloud Imperium, as that project pretty much has run out of relevant things to say. "Look, our 200 man team has collectively managed to tweaked three new vertices on our fiftieth ship this week!" and "we may or may not be thinking of doing X further down the line".

Some kind of middle ground between FD's current communication stance and CI's would be perfect imo. For example letting us know what they're working on at the moment would be great, and giving us a few carefully chosen things to look forward to in the next wave.

David can be as selective as he wishes as to what to reveal or not, but I believe at least a *tiny* glimpse under the hood would be prudent given the form he's chosen to fund this project.

PS. Note, I'm not bashing Chris, have tremendous respect for him and think he's caring exceptionally well for the community, but feel CI could do with keeping the lid on until they actually have something to show and talk about.

What is funny : If someone have asked 6 mounth ago nearly everyone pointed to the DDF

Now many are saying : "Of course not all features will be added to the full game!"

And btw : The "Feature list" of the KS pitch is more then vague and blury, like the Information stream now : Vague and blury. I mean : We are less then 4 month from the (official!) release and we didnt know exactly what we could expect. At least FD should know that, WHY they didnt say wich features at wich state we could expect when the game will be released?

FD hope to add features to the game for the next 5-10 years, including major expansions like planetary landings as well as smaller stuff... it sounds like you won't consider ED to be the "full game" until they stop adding content ! Anything that is not separately may be considered as part of the full game whenever it is released .
