yes ... it’s sad that the announcement of the “new era” is to wait another year, until the end of 2020. I wonder when in this case there will be a release? I do not think that before the end of 2021 - the middle of 2022
Semantics be damn, the message they gave us was sometime in 2020 after June. That was the estimate at the time of April 2019. Things change, it's not science, it's art.
FDev has been consistent in providing quality of life updates (which I would have enjoyed as a new player a few months prior) and I appreciate it. That is a much better plan than having the community wait until late 2020 for a release.
So keep up the good work, FDev!

How much dust must settle on a thread to be considered a necro?
The update itself has been announced for the latter half of 2020.yes ... it’s sad that the announcement of the “new era” is to wait another year, until the end of 2020. I wonder when in this case there will be a release? I do not think that before the end of 2021 - the middle of 2022
Probably two days before it's supposed to be auto-locked?
You should see the Icarus Cup one!
fine. in this case, only 1 year is left before the release. 12 months. 365 days (okay, a little more). 1- Until this time it must be announced . 2- release in pre-orders. 3-conduct a few beta tests (you don’t want the “new era” to come out with the same plump piece of feces as the current September update, which didn’t even seem to be tried. Or do you want to?) so what do we have? this year announced a "new era"? no, and now they aren’t announcing for sure, because all the good moments (major exhibitions) have already passed. and frontier expo will not be this year either. then the first announcements will take place no earlier than e3 2020, in the most optimistic scenario, but, in a more pragmatic, not earlier than gamescom 2020.
from gamescom 2020 until the end of the year, 3-4 months. For this, the game will not have time either to test normally or to distribute pre-orders. what is the outcome? the chance that a "new era" will appear before April-May 2021 is negligible. and in general, I will not be very surprised if, somewhere closer to winter, Will Flanagan says that they started to develop it only in August-September 2019.

Bet if you go to Lavecon you'll know before...
Lavecon was this year and last. Well, how much have you learned about the "new era"?
Diagbar
and will be next year (We've already booked the hotel) and if Frontier keep to form, then we'll know something more then.
as this year, the maximum that you will learn at lavecon 2020 is a short teaser of one of the free mini add-ons. most likely, it will be open only powerplay which the fd has been talking about for a long time.
Diagbar
I'm not saying anything more to you as you've obviously made your mind up about the situation. BTW, You go try to talk to about the powerplay and you'll get nothing but grief.
One patch?
How did you come to those fantasy numbers? The distribution of pre-orders for a digital product won't take half a year.
No idea why you think it will be delayed until May 2021 because of that.And development didn't start a couple of weeks ago, the "New Era" was in full production as early as August 2018.
and why did you decide that the "new era" entered the "full production" in August 2018? Do you have any evidence of this?How did you come to those fantasy numbers? The distribution of pre-orders for a digital product won't take half a year.

a short teaser or a couple of screenshots? already a year has passed after all.
please show me them
but somehow, you know, the words fd do not cause much confidence, if only because the same David Braben said back in 2016.
Yes We have ongoing work on planets, including atmospheres, planetary life, walking about and lots of other very exciting things for the future.
3.5 years have passed since then, but not a single proof of the authenticity of his words.
please prove that I'm wrong, provide an official short teaser or a couple of screenshots of the “new era”.
Diagbar
So if you didn't believe the fact that Zac announced it last year, nothing will convince you otherwise. Mind you people thought they weren't doing anything about Fleet Carriers and then look what happened there. It is frustrating at the moment because it feels like there's a content drought for long time players. I.e. Nothing in the last patch and no new interstellar initiative.
Here you go (from August 31st 2018):and why did you decide that the "new era" entered the "full production" in August 2018? Do you have any evidence of this?

Obviously I don't have a teaser or screenshots, but even if I did I don't know how that would prove when Frontier went into full production.
but ... that is, your judgments are based on bare faith (well, I don’t know how a religious fanatic is any)?
ok, got you.
