I’m not making light of your situation but if your wellbeing is reliant on Elite, you picked the wrong game. This thing has been carrying bugs longer than an ex carries grudges.

It's true but do you see any other space game out there can be ran on a modest PC like mine?

Sorry haven't had the time to read the entire thread, but does Elite work with VPN. I have Private Internet Network and it still doesn't work. Wondering if someone who uses a different one like NordVPN could comment.

Guys, please ... be serious: there is NO reason to "thank" FDev for solving a (big) problem that they themselves have caused.

The "thank you" is comic. A series of insults would probably be more appropriate.

yeah actually is there is.. as they realised it and corrected it and notified US apropriately.. EA , bethesda, or other Big developers wouldnt do that.. FDev gave us the curtesty its polite to thank them for their effort, its called mutual respect from dev to community and so forthe. get with the "RESPECT" program :)

that said...

Thanks @Will Flannigan for keeping us in the loop .. the issues corrected havent affected me but again the team caught that quickly especially the VPN issue i can turn mine back on now :)
.. many thanks

This isn't true. We (the East India Company) obtained a megaship through BGS gameplay. They never gave us our megaship, we worked for it. Any group that knows how to work the BGS can take a megaship (although if you don't have one in a close by system, it might take longer to win it).

We were actually the first player group to get a megaship via gameplay, as well as the first player group to get an asteroid base (Freeholm in Artemis - yes, the same Freeholm in Michael Brookes book which shipped with the game on launch).

Incidentally I did take a look at Glassdoor on Frontier. You say it's a "mess" but the glassdoor reviews don't really indicate that - they show basically what's typical for a company of Frontier's size, not perfect but definitely not a "mess". Many of the glassdor reviews were positive overall. The biggest complaint was low salaries, which kind of goes with the territory - unfortunately, because game development is "sexy", young developers are falling over each other in the rush to get a gamedev job. Oversupply of hopeful game developers means wages end up low. My advice to anyone who wants to make a living in software development is don't do game development - yes, it's sexy, but actually it's really no more interesting to do than most business software when you get down to it.

Uhmm, you know megaships cycle through many major systems in game, right? Yeah we have those too, but they're not landable. As for the landable ones, no you don't get them via bgs, unless you're fortunate enough to have one parked in a system your faction is in. Otherwise, you're screwed. I also recall the East India Company having gotten at least one CG, probably for the asteroid base or the LANDABLE megaship as fdev has to add them in game, or they simply added one in your space with the patch as happened around several spots of the bubble. Other factions got them via CG's, that's a fact. including the one I won't name that got a landable megaship just before chapter 4 and FDev said "no more landable megaships for factions." So that's that. How exactly is that "fair"?

As for the glassdoor stuff, either FDev got their house in order in the last year, or we're reading two different sets of reviews here. What I saw is definitely not "normal for a company their size". If they got their house in order, great, that means one less major problem for them to address. There's still the buggy patches and favoritism within the community that are major issues.

Regarding the latest patch, can someone from FD in the name of common sense and all that is right, please remove those stupid looking Hawaiian paint jobs for the Cobra Mk.III. They look ridiculous, as if they were drawn by a someone who can't draw and then coloured in by a three year old. Truly dreadful.

Why not make some repaints for the Type 7? That really needs them, just not anything with a Hawaiian flavour

How do I do that?

I'm not sure if this is the place for it, so I'll limit this to one reply before suggesting taking this to the appropriate support section.

I would probably start with reinstalling the game on the console. Probably a bad download of one of some of the game files. Failing that, support forums, possibly support ticket with fdev are also options. But probably good to make sure you have a fresh, clean install of elite on your console.

EIC got their megaship, unfortunately however the Code stole it before it could be delivered. I think I saw it parked up in the Lave cluster somewhere...

FD, I observe severe faults with the product you sold me and in its current state it is not usable for me.

What is the ETA to bring the number of faults in the region of BLOCKERs to zero?
Are there compensations while the product and the service you legally have to provide to fulfil the contract are being brought back in a useful state?

How do you ensure a situation as the current does not ever occur again in the future? Please explain your strategy.

Yours, a customer.

I have no knowledge of PC space games. However, that your wellbeing is reliant on this one solitary game and that is clearly failing, I’d look further afield for another more reliable solution.

If you have a bad leg and your crutch is held together with tape and keeps snapping under your weight, you need to find a better, more viable support because the one you’re using is likely to cause more damage than good. Maybe when your leg is better later, it’ll be strong enough to stamp the old broken crutch into splinters.

Learn an instrument, do an Open University course, take up knitting or pottery. Do something because this isn’t helping.

Have a look at NMS. With the most recent patch it has evolved into a really good game, and is a really good example of how a compelling narrative can be told in an sandbox game.

It has its faults, but give it a go.

Believe me I understand, had some mega rants in the past......a fair few mice/jpads in my personal graveyard....oh and a PS1 that I stamped on when Gran Turismo effed up on me!!! I remember smashing a phone when I couldn't get through about my PS2 pre order.

I've vented on game forums in the past and got banned for it, countless times......not a route you want to go down!

Oh but it IS satisfying when you think you’re not making a difference or being listened to by the chavs who’ve taken your money!
