All I can say is I used to work for the DSS in the UK, and some of the stuff the contractors developed for our systems (big names by the way - Siemens and other solution providers) were absoloute cluster----s.
I cannot believe I even have to ask this. Let us talk about 3.0.4

Sure, if you outsource to Asia god knows what you are going to get. 3rd party contractors are absolute s I agree. The difference is myself is not a 3rd parry in that sense, I still show up on site every day from 9 - 5, the only difference is the payment process.
Regardless, the amount of bugs and their severity that FDEV produces would get many people fired on the spot in many places, but I assume since its a video game many things are forgiven. If you create bugs in a medical software or transportation safety softeare for example, the outcome is a bit different from a video game that doesnt produce the proper pixels.
You are on the same Level of arrogance as the OP. Also, the Statement you have never seen as many bugs in Software kinda contradicts your alledged seniority in that Business. Even as a Standard end-user I have made worse experiences with END-products (bear in mind E: D is in constant developement).
Medical software is covered by the MDD/FDA/MHRA depending where you are and is regulated to an inch of its life. Gaming software isn't, in fact it is exempt in the US as the FDA classify it as "Wellbeing" and exempt from regulations.
Bugged massacre missions
ED startup CTD
Guardians mission bugs(old and new missions)
C&P issues
local chat bug(fixed?)
Wing mission bugs(paying all no matter percentage of contribution,is being abused)
Thats not what I said, sure there are bugs, its natural part of the process, the problem is when those bugs make their way into a production enviroment. This case I can guarantee that no other place lets this amount of bugs and their severity go into open production.
And all the idiots that don't take the Frontier devs serious and call them incompetent don't realise that FD will never take them serious again.
I certainly wouldn't.
Sheesh, the attitude........

Going around calling everyone arrogant is kinda _____________.
I've worked in software development for a good number of years and I've never seen anyone 'fired on the spot' for introducing bugs
There would be a lot of unemployed software engineers around if that were the case, including me!That's no different from another other game out there that are as or more complicated and do just fine.
I was about to add him to my ignore list but now I know why he's already on it.
I've seen some of these bugs in 3.0.3 still but most of them are minor/cosmetic with workarounds.
The only one that bugs me is Wing problems, since Wing missions now clutter up the mission boards and they would be GREAT if I could believe that they'd work properly. In my experience though the chances of getting a wing to stay online for the duration of the mission without someone dropping out, crashing, randomly committing a crime due to scanner status not being in sync between wingmen etc - Ignoring the problems with Wings still, it's just too much damn effort to try and coordinate a group of people around the bugs for long enough to complete a single mission.

I kinda like that this is not an angry rant, but it sounds like you're some shareholder who is entitled to look behind the curtains...
While I think that a bit more transparency would be a good thing, I don't think this is the right way to ask for that.
Come on man, do you really think Sandro is going to respond to your thread? Especially with the tone you are taking? At best, the most attention it will get in FD is to be circulated around the office with a subject of "Get a load of this guy!"
Anyway, let's look at your issues.
Player or NPC? Player can't do anything about. If an NPC is blocking, wait a few seconds, they should take off, then request again. Unless this is a bug now?
Known issue.
Isn't this fixed now? Its fixed for me.
Not something i'm aware of. My textures seem normal..... Is it reported? Are FD aware?
Is this new? I didn't have it a couple of weeks ago when i was still in the bubble. Known issue then?
Isn't it? I'll give it a test tonight. Remembering between when? Log off? Doesn't sound like a major issue.
If its not affecting the Type 7 not something i'd notice. Reported?
Fixed as of today.
Sorry, PC master race here
Flight assist/CTD's//Boost sound cut off, all reported.
I agree the FA-OFF bug is not major, however it is highly annoying if you fly FA-OFF (I don't mean boost flip) There have been two patches and it's still not fixed.

This,
I've worked in data encryption development for two decades and I would've been fired hundreds of times.
Bugs happen, their inevitable no matter how hard you try, no matter how good your development team or programmers are.
Hahahahaha, brilliant! This is satire right? No? I look forward to the OP sharing Sandro's detailed response outlining in detail all of FDevs design and management processes to... somenobody from the forums? I've no doubt that after being provided with all of the requested information the OP will be flown to FDev headquarters so he/she can be immediately employed as a design & efficiency consultant to help this poor floundering company completely resturucture.
Pretty pompous post there, OP.
Lot's of "we" statements, as if you're on their team and somehow going to help fix things through your forum posts. Lots of accusations and questions for which you neither deserve nor should expect to be seriously entertained by the developers or Sandro. LOL @ expecting them to lay out their company and team structure for the critique and condescension of a random contrary poster on the forums.

If they noticed it at all I'm sure it gave them a good laugh.
Why do people resort to ad hominem attacks instead of focusing on the issues at hand?
