I hope so.
I like to think of it more as CoD and ships
well most of the weapon seem to be offsight abit the sniper rifle for sure,and has for the ar50 well throw that in the bin.
That's not what I said. I said that I don't see them supporting/extending/expanding the 'flying-a-spaceship' aspect of the game. And as I have no interest in 'COD in space', the game is basically dead for me.
Can I still play the game? Yes. Am I seeing anything to look forward to/spend my money on? No.

Well, I expect the next expansion to be EVA and ship interiors, and that is all about the flying a space ship. And I still hope to see and fly the Panther LX a little sooner than that.
the next thing i like to see is optimization of the current game, if they bring out the panther lx what that going to cost and will i be able to afford it.since everything else has been nerfed to death,so you get very little reward for missions or material or even trading.
Amazing! Have you read the OP? It does mention consoles quite specifically, you should be ebullient as well as amazed!As a console player, no matter how much optimism there is here, I'm amazed.
Yes, I have ED on PS4 too, and have no difficulty in understanding the statement made by David Braben.
I'm amazed that you expect another expansion to E: D, especially containing things that Frontier have already repeatedly stated they're not going to do. That's optimism on a whole new level.
Imagines Powerplay update
The one thing that gets me is that people think it's COD in Space. It's not. There's a lot more to Odyssey than CZs, it's just that's where people's focus is at the moment. Where the game works for me is where the gameplay requires both in-cockpit and on-foot gameplay. They say they're going to put in more missions like that over the next couple of months.
It's the same sort of lazy thinking from people that say ED is getting like Fortnite because they have some festive suits in the store.
Sounds like a lack of imagination, Im sure more complex atmospheres will offer flying challenges. I guess some on here would argue that they spent 3 years re-writing the planet rendering system just so that they could re-release barren planets, some with a thin atmosphere and stop there.
That's how Frontier work though. It's not a lack of imagination from the players... we could all think up wonderful ways in which planets could be utilised and extended. Unfortunately, none of us are writing the game.
But if anyone honestly thinks that they're going to pour time & money into another expansion, when Odyssey single-handedly wiped 40% off their stock, where the reception from players (even if it works) can at best be described as 'mixed', well... you're kidding yourselves. Just like all the other failed expansions (multicrew, powerplay, etc), they will indeed stop right there.
Add it to the growing list of half-baked, unfinished game features.
You are spinning a narrative, not following logic. The share prices didnt drop because they released a paid-for DLC.
Again more spun narrative, this time base on out-of-context quoting. Brilliant.
Didn't you mention that the game would be dead in 6 months - what, 7 months ago?
Pretty much is, isn't it? Steam never seems to show many people playing.
And sure, I could easily be wrong here (and great if so), but I find it much easier where Frontier is concerned to simply assume the worst - that way I'm never disappointed. That's the theory anyway - though Odyssey still disappointed.
For all I know, they're already beavering away with their 100 developers on atmospheric planets, ship interiors and EVA. Probably.

It was pure coincidence that the two events happened at the same time.
Steam shows concurrent connections at a moment in time... Good for trends though, which currently is rising... Never mind though, you tried to predict and failed, maybe next time?
