in times like these I would want to hear a kind word if I had just had to go public with such a choice. my way of giving a little back
Thank you, Mr Braben

no need to be sorry! just point us to all these console games that DO offer as much.
I'm sorry, I couldn't read further, I was too busy laughing. Really a nice one !
here, I'll make a space for you:

I agree with you.

Also glad to see you back; hadn't seen you around here in quite a while (I mean I havent been here in a while either but still).
You misunderstood the announcement. The development of client 4.0 is stagnating, and Braben just admitted as much. The original plan was to optimize client 4.0 to a point that it could replace the aging client 3.7 and run the entire game, including Horizons. The current separation between Horizons and Odyssey players, originally meant as a temporary measure, is now permanent. This isn't good news for PC users, it's a disaster. It also means the old codebase will continue to occupy space on our drives and require maintenance patches until the last Horizons player has switched to Odyssey. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to spin this into something positive, but I applaud you for trying.
Defo Missing the type 4 - An 'Old Duck' - which consists of quitting the game every other month or 2 - very vocally, and then coming back again, before eventually, after several years, actually quitting (has he gone for good this time ?)

Just as much as is required to come up with the conclusion you've presented IMO
I don’t think so, Frontier are following a path already pioneered for the macOS client.Just as much as is required to come up with the conclusion you've presented IMO
Step 1. Suggest it will be released simultaneously with the Windows client (Horizons in this case).
Step 2. Find out you can’t do what you said you were planning to.
Step 3. Leave client running for the time being (required for Windows users who haven’t bought expansion).
Step 4. Say you’re making all possible efforts to port.
Step 5. Go into radio silence.
Step 6. Finally switch off server support as hardware/software doesn’t support future plans (not happened yet for consoles obviously).
People said similar things last year when I predicted that Odyssey would be in a state of beta/early access for six months, i.e. until its launch on consoles. Look where we are now. Ten updates later the console launch has been canceled, and many PC users still can't run Odyssey with acceptable frame rates. I was too optimistic.Just as much as is required to come up with the conclusion you've presented IMO
Ye, the precedent has kind of already been set more than once. It's not unreasonable to expect more of the same. Expectations are based upon past behaviour after all.

I'm still not sure if the OP is serious, or if it's irony. In any case, you are right, it was quite an impressive mental gymnastic.
Now, now, don't sell yourself short. The Ministry of Silly Threads recruit strongly in both side.
I have EDH on XB1X which i do exploring and I play EDO on my gaming rig where ive just made Trade Elite, so all this moaning from console players either get a pc or just enjoy EDH, either one is great.
Looking forwards to upcoming stuff for pc, I personally think youve made the right choice David and if people dont want to play the game then go play something else, but dont spoil it for people who still play both.

Really i have a i5 pc running a RTX 3060 16GB card and 64gb memory, im getting between 60- 80frps mine runs smooth as anything my gaming rig cost over £2k and my screen is ASUS 1440mhz which i specially bought to play EDO
Oh the whole band is here.
Nice.
Nice.
As someone with a console account, I can verify this. XDYou don't quit Elite; Elite quits you.
Absolutely true - and I'm in the same (sinking) boat.

Nice fanfic for the development of this game. Youre either delusional or its 10/10 bait.
I genuinely cannot remember the last time Fdev hit a deadline with a project/update. Most of the time they are a minimum of months off the mark. The development of this game has had long periods of stagnation, so not sure what youre on about there.
Its easy to be grateful when its not your platform being dropped lol.
Awwww! Warm fuzzy feelings. By the way, you still need to transfer Tritium from your fleet carrier to your ship and then back to your fleet carrier in order to refuel it. This is a simple example of the respect towards the playerbase. The best quality of life they offer is 3rd party access to their API and it's up to the playerbase to make sense of it, which equates to hours of coding for free to have decent market info and system info. The system info is broken in Odyssey. Try looking up distance of planets in a system that you are not currently in.

Which part of that did you not understand? I have to transfer tritium from carrier cargo to ship cargo and then donate(transfer back to carrier). Why would I need to do that in the first place? They clearly don't play the game and have no respect for the playerbase, otherwise they would have fixed the material grind, they would have offered a transfer before giving the middle finger to console players and they would have done more than just Galnet articles to progress the story.
Management doesn't care, otherwise they would have asked the developers to improve these things.
