I was right, you were wrong

That quote is even more vague and fluffy than what they said about the orrery map.

It took them four years to delivery on that, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
No it isn't. Prior to the Orrery arriving in-game, there was zero mention from FDev that they were producing the feature. We only had the concept art and DDA to even know that they were thinking about it, and FDev kept telling us "nothing to announce at this time" when asked about it.

I was one of the lucky visitors to FDev for the private presentation of Beyond 3.3 - the update that contained the Orrery - and even we weren't shown nor informed of it; FDev kept the Orrery's inclusion as a surprise.

Are you perhaps misremembering?

No I'm not.

"still planned for the development road-map" - so not even on the road map yet, just on the stretch list.

And "we'll be able to share more information with you in the future" - yeah, can't wait. At FDevs rate of progress I'll be listening to that announcement from my hover-car.

Getting someone to render detailed concept art is a much stronger statement of intent than sticking a postit on a kanban board.

"Help, a volunteer mod has their own personal opinion and is allowed to express it! WORLDVIEW DESTROYED"

Not world destroyed. Credibility of said moderator's ability to perform the role seriously undermined. It doesn't require a great deal of awareness to grasp that.

Please stick to the topic at hand. Discussing the credibility of thread participants, moderator or no, is off-topic.
Also it's worth pointing out that if anyone has an issue with a moderator they should report the post(s) in question and someone from the CM team will review it.

No body cares about silly fleet carriers maybe
Why is this a thing for you?

Well evidently I do care. As do others. Perhaps YOU don't care but you aren't everyone. Do I need to explain why it's a thing for me? My point - which I note you haven't denied is correct - is that the arguments that it was just delayed and coming soon were all rubbish, as per usual.

The most depressing thing about this entire game is how predictable each dissapointment amd failure is. Just like the 2020 update. It will be half-baked, riddled with bugs and clearly the result of an under-resourced team. But many around here will defend it vehemently. For some, Braben could pee on their door and they'd thank him for not doing a number two.

I read the OP and suddenly got very very sleepy.

YAWN.

With eyes closing Let's wait and see what happens OK?

We did. It hasn't. Case closed.

The fact you (and others) resort to petulant insults indicates your inability to present any argument in response. You may think it seems clever, but it's more impresive to concede that I may be correct than descend into childish insults.

Was there a quote where FDev clarified how long Fleet Carriers would be delayed for?

No. Because it's indefinite (ie never). I'd respect them more if they just said they tried and failed. It's more honest than leaving players hanging with no clear indication either way.
 
Fleet carriers is a big rabbit hole which will sink way to much time that could be spent on features which were originally promised.

I hope that David Braben has FINALLY set direction to accomplish the things which he promised FIRST be any of this.

Have you been borrowing Doc' Brown's DeLorean or something?

Obviously it's disappointing that we didn't get our Fleet Carriers and enhanced planets ice-planets but, having announced the delay - and then announced the 2020 ETA for the next big update - I don't see why anybody would expect to see Fleet Carriers or enhanced planets before then.

I mean, by all means come back and remind us all of this thread in January 2021 but until then it's a bit silly to insist they're never going to appear.

You may or may not be correct. I guess that's a separate question. My issue is with the misleading nature FDev allows people to believe things are in development that are not.

Can't wait for the 2020 update to be aimed at PS5 and have no ability to walk. It's always interesting seeing white knights tie themselves in knots to convince themselves it's what they wanted all along. There's an obvious parallel with IRL political events....but I'll let those lie.
