Ireally hope that carriers doesn't become the new "paid content" Frontier don't go full CIG you never go full CIG. and another thing the Q4 update was the large one because of the carriers and new graphics; so this means that is not going to be a big update anymore?? there is a lot of apologetic and nostalgia use in this announcement which is never a good thing.... im ready to be desapointed. [knocked out]

Chapter 4 wont be content complete for 4 more months.
So you don't know if Fleet Carriers are still free or not, but you do know that you can't comment on them for at least another 4 months?
NOT a rhetorical question, looking for honestly clarity here.
Cause that would infer that Fleet Carriers and Squadrons are at LEAST 8 months off at this point.
Thanks for the update, appreciated. Losing anything is disappointing but exploration & mining updates look like making this a great Chapter 4 regardless & sometimes priorities dictate that a feature needs to be delayed.

Curious you have more and less said the next large expansion is some time after Beyond but will there be incremental updates/content added after beyond but before the next large expansion?
But at least this means I know I won't miss the start of DW2 by hitching a ride on the Gnosis.
Thanks for the update.
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the chance of me resurrecting my love life and 10 being a guaranteed "meh, maybe some time in the 22nd century", what are the chances PowerPlay will be getting some love?
Open Only Powerplay confirmed?!?
Dude, you should start a post like this with a disclaimer that no, you are not leaving the company. This totally sounds like the introduction to one of those lengthy community manager goodbye posts.
That said, my personal hope and speculation is space legs. The one thing that No Man's Sky showed me, is that going on foot, close-up and personal, just has a visceral feeling that you don't get from driving a buggy.
Well, it is what it is. Better delay and deliver whole new shiny package.
I'm OK with the changes to the schedule, big plans, lot to do, can't make it on time, etc.
But that brings to a question:
If the "large" team of 100 can't deliver, why not hire more people? FD can handle it, judging by the financial status of the company so why isn't a team of 200 people working on the game? My biggest complain is the slow speed of development.
BTW, I'm not an expert on the matter.

The fact that you've taken away something that was supposed to be delivered and replaced it with vague promises about a better "tomorrow" ? And when we get closer to "tomorrow" you'll pull the same trick ?
I am a littl disappointed that fleet carriers won’t be in chapter 4, but if that means they’ll be more in depth than they were planned I’m okay with waiting a little longe for them. Any details on what the visual upgrade means? I don’t follow what is meant by ice planets, I’ve landed on a number of ice planets before, unless they mean the larger ice bodies that typically accompany Brown Dwarf Stars etc. Exploration is my main occupation in Elite so I’m happy that they’re working on more for that (although I’ll grind that last 40% of pioneer to get to Elite just in case the exploration expansion comes with a Nerf ). Do we have any idea what chapter 4 is besides the visual upgrade and Codex?
). Do we have any idea what chapter 4 is besides the visual upgrade and Codex?That is too much information.
Just to clarify that's absolutely not what's being said, or being done.
The future content that has started in production is a whole new era/chapter/milestone in Elite. Much like Horizons was and like Beyond was/is. Please rest assured that this post is not suggesting that we are taking content and moving it to paid for content later. Hope that helps.
Sandy use your Dev forum account to ask these silly questions.
Thanks Wolvie, I hope you enjoy the next leg of the journey.
I hope your teams prepared to handle the amount of flak you and the rest of Fdev are probably going to get with the announcement of no Fleet Carriers in Q4.
Im okay with Carriers not being Q4 if it means theyll be better when they are added though.

Oh my Zac is alive and well , we thought he went missing on one of his adventures with ED .
How can i explain this to the people that gave to the collection for a memorial and statue.
All kidding aside well done Zac, good to hear that core gaming is more important than shop content.
