Roadmap/Perspective/Bugfixing

Hey all,

not sure if I missed something but what´s the current roadmap for Elite in 2019? What are the next planned steps? Will we see any bugfixes/patches/content in the next weeks/months?
 
... current roadmap for Elite in 2019? ...

Official line: Next era for Elite in late 2019 (payable DLC), ice worlds and new rock scattering update delayed for that new era, Carriers may or may not be coming. Uhm... that's pretty much it as I recall.
And it's snowing :) West Yorkshire.

Although there wasn't a date, probably late 2019 but it was never said, just a significant time after Q4 dropped.
 
There are no official details for ED in 2019. Vague formulations are not counted as details.
The only thing we know is that they announced that apparently they are in full production of the next major milestone for Elite (quote).
Having said that, I find this really risky and this currently holds me back from investing any more in skins etc.
Without proper future plans I can't really put value in that game, which is unfortunate. Gambling was never a good idea.

For now we are hoping for any kind of information and are hopefully recieving some within the next two months.

Buying a video game doesn't make you an investor: it gives you access to the game.
Similarly, buying skins doesn't make you an investor. Buying a skin... buys you a skin.

And eating a hamburger doesn't make you a cow. What's your point?

Ofcourse but the point is that I have a limited amount of financial resources and I'd rather spend it for skins in a game where I know I will be playing it in the future.
It's not about what I buy but why I buy it. I could potentionally buy anything and the most trivial claim would be that I'd buy it. Sure, a == a is True ... but obvious.
 
I think his point is that you shouldn't buy a skin as an investment into the future, but to enjoy the game with the skin as it currently is.

Good point; but as their 'Coming Soon'TM timetable is usually a tortuous few months plus, I can only surmise what a significant time is to Fdev :) - not a whinge Fdev, but, y'know...
 
If this were some little fly-by-night studio no one has ever heard of, pushing out some ambitious project I’d be concerned.

If this had anything to do with Chris Roberts, I’d run the other direction.

It doesn’t so I’ll stay the course.

Is that official?

I mean is there really snow in West Yorkshire?
 
I don't expect anything before Q2 2019. Announcements like that affect investment and stock market values, so they must be announced at the right moment to maximize utilities, I guess.

Significant time means settle in with a good book or ten :D this may be a while!

I'm not really worried by the timing, we will find out soon enough I expect. I'm quite reassured by the fact their recruitment page has quite a number of dev/artist/networking posts directly related to Elite in the descriptions. Not doomed!
