Petition to bring back the DDF/DDA and get back on track.

[Sanderson]

I, for one, raise my hand to petition FD to bring back the DDF/DDA and to USE it.

Who's with me?

 

[Rubellen]

+1 for me - change your direction FD

 

[Arubeto]

+1 DDF/DDA ideas all the way!

 

[Rauminen]

+1, I would be mighty fine with them just using what's already there though.

 

[parry]

Since I can't into abbreviations, what does DDF/DDA stand for?

Who would vote "no" for this seriously?

DDA = Design Discussion Forum
DDA = Design Discussion Archive

At least the later is accessible for everyone, I think: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=36

Oh. Thanks.

Design Discussion (formerly "Decision" ) Forum and the subsequent Design Decision Archive.

Design Decision Forum / Design Decision Archive (see my sig for link).

As a DDF member, of course I want this. The state of things done without DDF feedback (especially powerplay) seems to me to show that switching the DDF off was a dumb idea. But, hey, we are where we are, and I have no expectation whatsoever that FD will resurrect the DDF. However, they really do need to concentrate on the DDA designs, not go off on this new stuff.

 

[Tacheel]

It's a +1 from me, even if at best it just distributes information and understanding better it's still a win. But I back the full idea.

 

[Ian Skippy]

How about saying what from the DDF should be prioritized? Right now you're asking "who wants more awesome stuff?". Ofcourse everyone agrees. It gives a false impression of shared desires.

 

[Ignition]

+1 I´ve bought the Premium Beta because of the DDF. I´m disappointed of the decisions made so far.

+1

Presumably many of the noobs who want E: D to be like game XXXXXX. That seems to be much of the player base. Plus those with a chip on their shoulders who think that the DDF designed stuff, and should not have done (lots of those in previous threads).

Me, but I always go against the grain.

Why would you want them back ?.... They pretty much led the game to where it is now.

 

[Vincent Starson]

+1. That DDA document is gold.

BTW op your avatar is impossible in game because the station would kill him for firing in the no fire zone and murder. Always makes me laugh, is that intentional? Take all my rep.

You do realise I'm on the DDF Sanderson. You want to give /me/ more power again?

I don't necessarily read it as adding new ideas, more steerance towards the DDA stuff, comms and feedback on whats planned with that, why things don't work, changes to ideas there etc.

 

[random_tangent]

Another +1. I wasn't involved in the DDF, but I have skimmed the DDA a few times and there are some great ideas waiting to be realised in there.

That's another thread, this one is to get them, at the very least, back in the right direction and back on track.
