I am always in need of fences old chap
And how the devil are you old Fisto? Hope you are well mate.
Walkin’ and talkin’. Work has me busy as a bee, which is nice. Health is fine. Enjoying the sun here in Florida, but I guess we got a storm coming.I am always in need of fences old chap
And how the devil are you old Fisto? Hope you are well mate.
How’s you?
Good to hear it mate, glad you are well. I do envy the floridian weather though
Yeah I'm good thanks as well - plodding on as always in these weird times. Hope the storm isn't a bad one dude!

It's probably the most sensible option at this point. Since last night and after experiencing the horrible performance drops in settlements I'm thinking to significantly reduce my focus off Elite (so not parking it completely, yet) because it's happening too often now that I boot up the game and I come across bugs and perf issues almost immediately.
Being angry about it here on the forums just makes me more miserable and it won't change anything anyways; Frontier are too set in their ways and I'm sure they have the next few months planned out regardless of what they're telling us (or not).
I'm trying other games but Elite has still such a draw it's remarkable but it's slowly changing. I can't go back to Horizons either, not only does its superior visuals and smoothness make me sad (it's on borrowed time) but I've not waited so long for EDO to just go back to EDH again, I want to play EDO despite its lukewarm additions to the game but the technical issues are too much of a hoop to jump through.
I do hope we can come back to the game in a few months when it's hopefully in better shape and laugh about it all. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, I know where you are coming from. I packed my flight stick away after FDev released the long-anticipated roadmap that was little more than "many improvements and fixes" Cntl-C'd throughout the document. That was the surest sign that FDev had dug themselves so deeply into a coding hole that even they couldn't plan with any concrete specificity. With the subsequent posting of the so-called "Development Update," it became even more clear to me that they are stuck in first gear at best. Now, Patch 5 has been released and while it does fix a bunch of stuff, it is also clear that much more remains to be addressed, something that might not happen until console release.
I was thinking about just playing Horizons, but I have trouble investing myself into a game that itself is facing a deadline for transformation into Odyssey tech. Seeing FDev's long history of having trouble rolling out even minor updates - remember the Arx fiasco? - I shudder to think what will become of Horizons when it is injected with Odyssey's planetary tech. Yeah, that should go smoothly....
Time to find greener pastures for me, too. Like you, I fully intend to come back to Elite if/when Odyssey is ready for primetime which, for the moment, is a nebulous date at best (the frequent mention of " identifying pathways" in the Dev update doesn't inspire confidence). However, at the moment the game is dead in the water and listing to port, and I am abandoning ship along with lots of other people. If Frontier can save the ship - great (and I suspect they eventually will as they invested too much into this franchise to give up now)! But I am not hanging around to find out. Today, we have compelling alternatives, from Hello Games' No Man's Sky (which has routinely embarrassed FDev by putting out high-quality content expansions much more frequently than Frontier has ever managed to achieve despite Frontier having a larger team) to revitalized old dogs like CCP's Eve Online (Eve remains the most in-depth space sandbox ever made, so space gamers shouldn't let the oft over-exaggerated stories of gankers everywhere scare them off from trying the game!). In short, Frontier no longer has a captive audience.
The weird part is that I intend to remain active on these forums. While FDev has screwed up the game, Frontier's forums remain one of my favorite communities on the web. Maybe it is because it skews towards an, er, older demographic. Be that as it may, I am still going to visit here often, albeit I will probably be spotted in this sub-forum more than in the main Elite forum. Ironic that I will now be talking more about other space games here than I will be about Elite for the foreseeable future! Oh, what an unnecessary tragedy, Frontier....

I'm really sorry to hear this Drew , being of the same era ( maybe a bitty older ) I appreciated your love of the game and the lore and have joined a few of your lore tours , bringing back memories of years gone by . So I hope that we will see you back in the future ( I'm not sure when though )!!!
Yeah, ......

In the same boat here. I check this forum daily but no others on this site. I've moved on to other games with X4 being the main game atm w/ some WoWs for competitive play. GL HF
(by the way, I'm feeling guilty because I uninstalled ED yesterday; with mixed emotions ... so sorry fdev. By the way, my name on the X4 forums is Drumma fwiw)
I've been away from ED for a fair time now concentrating on other space game stuff, still a regular denizen of these forums as I have been since 2015 but inhabiting the general games discussion threads rather than Elite focused ones... but it still makes me truly sad popping in to read threads like this. I still fire up Odyssey now and then since the public Alpha and subsequent release as I had been eagerly anticipating what it would bring to ED for quite some time...Sadly, as much as I enjoy it for rekindling my interest in ED and getting me back into my Python, however briefly...it could have been so much more...but enough of the disappointment, there's more than enough threads on this forum full of it already.
Anyway, I share the feeling of genuine sadness expressed in this thread already, as well as my understanding at you dropping out for a bit, Drew...I sincerely hope to see you back soon.

OK bye.
What a shame, Drew. There is a name for leaving your crew alone in times of trouble.
We got something good going with Retribution, with a great community, decent story line and everything. It will now all fall apart and go to the waste bin.
We could have continued in Horizons, or looked for ways to work around the flaws. You have chosen to do the Brave Sir Robin instead.
Alright, your decision, but don't expect everybody will be eagerly awaiting your return. If it even happens.

Btw, a few of us with more stamina are working towards keeping up the interactive story telling.
