The naughty six must have quite a few alt accounts then.
I must have read that wrong. Care to enlighten me what the correct interpretation of those words is?

Will, I wouldn't have your job no matter what incentives were added!
Thank you for coming back into the firing line once more...
I think the responses here (and in another host of related threads) might demonstrate how passionate your player base are about this 'odd' game and its ongoing development, responses ranging from elation to desolation (or even outright contempt from a few) seemingly focussed around a 'lack' of meat on the bone you threw us
If something more than hints were given it would likely bring the same result as the previous statement given...
You'll never win as Dev's, but in truth I think you have more supporters than are obvious from a few comments.

I've really appreciated the update Will, thank you.
One of the things that's frustrated me in the past about FD comms is how quiet things can be, and I also know that you get a reaction to any update you do make, but please give us updates as often as you can. Cheers. o7
My bad, my bad. Thankyou for the response.
Small seismic charges
and CQC bots to keep us entertained until 2020 did i hear you say?FTW
I beg to differ, but these are our own opinions so I'm perfectly happy to agree we disagree and carry on.
That said, I would like to put some health into perspective of 2020 major update: I don't know about you, but I have a job and I have more games to play than time to play them, so any moment I feel like I'm tired of Elite, there's more game to pick to fill the time in.
And judging by the pace the time flows by in my mid-thirties, it's gonna be 2020 real quick.
So just chill, Everyone. Life's too short to be constantly moaning about something - enjoy it instead.
Peace.
Thanks Will, don’t take it personal. All that I've expressed in this thread is my general attitude to FD decision making persons and how they treated their loyal customers.
You want constructive feedback, ok ... stop being so silent. Let us have a roadmap of the briefest of details of what you have planned. Make sure you put in BIG HUGE LETTERS that it everything is subject to change and nothing is final. Other game developers can do it, and I can name three right now for you, CIG, Flashbulb and the devs behind Warframe (I forget who they are, my apologies). You don't have to be so secretive like it's Area 51. Just giving the community a bone as to what is planned would go a long long way to engaging with the community, building hype and restoring your reputation.

Wow, such a constructive reply. You did understand I hope that I was making a specific point about engaging with the community and doing what Frontier isn't? Because someone who didn't get that point would just post a stupid gif ... oh wait
Of course your reaction is EXACTLY why this community is toxic and why Frontier stay silent. So GG on helping to make things better, except you didn't.

The correct interpretation is try not promise. The correct interpretation of the juxtaposition is that I am old and human and have an imperfect memory so I had forgotten that portion.
To be fair, CIG is not the best company for comparison. I would look at games such as Hellion and Subnautica. While they were/in early access, they had/have a detailed road map of where the game was heading and what was planned in the future.
Warframe is also good example. Sea of thieves also had a road map.
As you say, as long as they say that it's subject to change, I can't see the issue. As to the next era, I can understand them wanting to wait for that one. But they should start early in 2020 to start drip feeding us information of what is to come during 2020, again with the caveat that none of it is set in stone.

Wee bit of humour, I like it, but ymmv.
Yes, this is what I wanted, there are other better examples. I simply named three I could think of right then. Thank you for your reply.
No offence was taken, and I hope none given either, but you did reply with a gif and nothing more .... I'm open to discussion, I crave it, and for me, only a gif is not a discussion.
