Thanks for being so helpful and constructive.

I think most players have no issues and the forums just let the minority have the loudest voice.
Going for platform merger with consoles has been the death of many great games already. Please don´t do that.By the looks of things, declining player numbers, I kinda doubt there will be anything to talk about.
Except maybe the epitaphs called Fleet carrier of players who stocked it with so much cash, it will last until the servers are shut down.
In its current state EDO doesn't have much to stand on, not even its scrawny space legs will hold it up.
The console players might or might not be the saving grace, but if that flops over there as well, that will be the first load of dirt on the coffin for ED. Odyssey has put enough nails into it already.
Personally, i think, IF Fdev want to salvage ED from the brink of its imminent death, they would do best by announcing a proper roadmap, what's planned, what's being worked on, and when can we expect it.
I'm not talking interiors, I'm talking meaningful gameplay.
Not just scanning rocks and stalks. You do that for an hour and you've seen it all. The planets are repetitive enough already as it is, and the vegetation is really the same too. This fungus is green, this one is yellow, and this one is blue. Sounds like the weekly paint job release. Quick recolour, push it out the door and call it a day.
I've started playing Everspace 2.
Take a small ship, fly into a big asteroid and mine crystals in there. Or find some hidden loot there.
Or explore a derelict ship, opening doors, disabling defenses, grab loot, get out!
Something simple as that could easily be translated to ED:
Can't take your anaconda or cutter into a derelict ship! But that SLF will do a perfect job!
Find the crate at the end of a well designed wreck, might even have to land and do some on foot gameplay, disable that energy barrier so you can continue with your ship, take out some turrets, pick up the salvage at the end. (Custom module? a voucher for a G5 upgrade? Be creative here!)
So much potential Fdev. Please put some creativity into it and your game will live on. At this rate, you'll be pulling the plugs on the server by the end of the year.
Thank you so much!lost your binds? want hasstle free backed up binds look no further
keybindings can reset if you visit the control section without one of your usual devices used to play the game ie hotas , xbox pad etc not plugged in or at that present moment is undetected by windows as it thinks your just using keyboard and mouse it simply rewrites your binds for you...forums.frontier.co.uk
Why indeed? We've been asking the same question for about 8 years already, no answer forthcoming!Now: It seems to be rather straightforward. Why can´t this be linked to a button in the menu, that opens a dialog "please name file". Why? It would be like, what? 24 lines of code?

Paging @sallymorganmoore
Best I can do is ask but sadly I wouldn't ever be so bold (knowing Elite) as to assume that it's "just 24 lines of code" hehe...
One of your predecessors said it was due in an imminent update - that was years ago and still no "Save As" button in the Options \ Controls page(s) - disgusting really, especially with the nonsense of Horizons and Oddity sharing the same startpreset.start file.
'Oddity' - see what you did there.
Disgusting is a wee bit of a strong word here BUT I can totally feel your frustration for sure, especially if it was hinted at as being something that would arrive in an imminent update. I'll ask some questions, no worries
c) who can legally expect such a feature from a professional piece of software in the year 2021(2014)Of course we can manually edit the files, but that is not really the point for people that a) don't come on the forum to see the method posted and b) who lack the confidence to actually do it.
Thnx. For your kind reply, and for asking. I really appreciate both.Best I can do is ask but sadly I wouldn't ever be so bold (knowing Elite) as to assume that it's "just 24 lines of code" hehe...

Well, I am old. I started gaming when we regularly had to edit windows system files to get a game running, so....I would totally do that. Heck, with other games, as long as the installation folder at least seemed to make somehow sense for a human observer, I occasionally do that on my own to see if it works or if I have to re-install... ;-) I grew so used to it, that I started to miss it in the last 10 years. And then there are games that are specifically structured to be open for modding by the community, and not that I would do a lot of modding, but it´s interesting to see how a game actually works.c) who can legally expect such a feature from a professional piece of software in the year 2021(2014)
Your 'd' word is pretty much on point.
Maybe her 'breakfast radio good mood' wears off.
Wouldn't be the first, will not be the last

I may lack confidence in life occasionally, but if a file is readable in Notepad++, I can save a backup and edit it. sure. why not?
Indeed... the abandonment of the manual at version 2.4 of the game (still linked on the launcher) so that it is a) wildly out of date and b) full or inaccuracies (see the engineering section!) is that these show a disrespect to the customer (us). Bear in mind that Elite Dangerous and Horizons carry a PEGI 7 rating (Odyssey is PEGI 16) - so if the game is targeted at (or should at least accommodate) such young users then firstly the manual should be at least usable and the game should be capable of being used to the full without "modding" or file editing.
As I said - it smacks of a certain lack of respect for the customer, a "lackadaisical" approach if you will.
Indeed
They'd better serve the player by linking to INARA from the launcher...
