It's good that FD specialized on video games

looks like genghisids are minority, then. what are we waiting for? lets blame them!
I heard it was 2.8%
In the post you responded to I made a comparison between modifications made to two different games. A mod compared to an update. Both are modifications made to existing software, so I never compared the game itself to anything. Sorry mate, the misunderstanding was yours.
Haha, so true. Things like the 737 Max MCAS fault get headlines (and many other similar faults https://www.theguardian.com/busines...87-dreamliner-bug-could-cause-loss-of-control )
For legal reasons I can't post a link here, you can find a full list of software bugs and revisions for most commercial aircraft out there, would make most people quit flying.
As Crank pointed out, ridiculous comparison by the OP.
Back to ED, do they not have a group of internal Beta testers?
It's probably time to close the forum and the game, the amount of hyperbole is like a black hole, sucking any positivity into an accretion disc of poo.

Yawn - you are interminably dull!
Firstly, the OP was joking, using a form of irony (don't start, Phisto!
) to make a point; not expressing thanks for Frontier's chosen profession & inviting subsequent discourse on the consequences of an alternative career path - stop taking things literally. And secondly, for everyone comparing Elite to SC or questioning the OP's own coding skills....let me remind you all that none of this is at all relevant to the state of Elite Dangerous & (some of) our views as paying customers that we have purchased a rather shoddy product. I have a Star Citizen package & I don't play it because it is sh*t - I've left many sarcastic comments on Bored Gamer's YT channel, but that fact doesn't make Frontier's space sim/game any good! If these are your best counterarguments - nay strawmen - then it says more about your disingenuousness & passive-aggressiveness towards some of ED's criticisms &/or critics.My advice to the usual suspects is, have a cookie & you'll feel better about the nasty men slagging off your favourite little space game & stop reacting to threads that are none of your business - I don't pipe up in any "Yay Elite is Amazing - I would willingly sell my house & all its contents to help Frontier" threads because I respect others' contrary views (to a degree).
No doubt that the developers of Frontier are very intelligent.
If they were still more intelligent, they would work for Boeing or Airbus, perhaps.

Ok planes would fall out the sky and people would die due to faulty medical devices, but just imagine the paintjobs.....
Sorry, had a bit of a sanity break back there.
You have a point, but products are produced to a spec. You want higher quality, you pay more for it.
So, just like now but with better aesthetics? You're going to be very disappointed if you do a search for aeroplane software glitches or faulty medical devices.

When i was at uni my teacher of C told me to go into game development, because i really shouldn't go into an industry where things have to work.
I think he was just jealous of my mad skillz.

I agree.
A placeholder.
Are you seriously comparing software for real life airplanes with code that organizes things in a video game? Just because we are flying things in said game?
FYI the code that organizes things in a video game is much more complex than software for real life airplanes.
Armchair developers... smh
