Check number of unique players in two weeks, rather than peak daily concurrent players. This currently stands at around 92,000, so 39,000 votes is a sizable fraction (42%) of the two week audience (potentially).

That is one thing to keep in mind: FD were already going to do real-time even if instant won the "vote", unless an absolute curb-stomp scared them away from it. Because at that point, real-time had already won the office argument and they just needed to get marketing on board.
A landslide in favor of real-time is just a happy confirmation.
That said though, considering how much support the worst-case scenario for real-time got, when it's more developed and capable it should be even more popular.

I think the vote we had here is different; in as much as it was a basic choice. Yes or No; but without the spin, or lies, that we get in most elections. People put their arguments across, for and against, all good arguments. The only lie I saw was the; instant option. As nothing in this game is really 'Instant', even if we had to wait for just one second, for something to happen.
Since delays is for "immersion" people will have to pilot their escape pod back to a station? How about loading their cargo onto a ship, spray painting it when changing colors, waiting for a electrician to connect their space weapon?

That's what I'm hoping for.
Those players actually didn't whine so much as provided good examples which proved instant ship transfer caused too many issues with balance and feel of the game. They - *shock*/*awe* - actually CONVINCED developers to reconsider.
Yes, you can convince Sandro of something. It happens that he changes his mind. Funny how good arguments work, no?
This whole poll is a huge something, something to the casual player. To be expected I suppose.

Given your 'recent' avatar change, I'm all for making pilots go to the toilet at regular intervals, preferably at the most inconveniant times possible. Should make you happy
I think I'll go for: 1d) Unload the dishwasher.
I still believe instant would have been a superior solution. But, we'll see how it goes when the feature is actually live. *shrug*

Thank god (yes, I'm that relieved).
Same here! [yesnod]
Excellent news!
Ahhh OK, fair point.
That in itself is a slippery slope. It should really only be reserved for the contentious features like this.
But as a means of resolving dispute, I was very happy with how this poll was handled and how it tried to be as inclusive as possible. For those thinking of bias, remember this wasn't just mentioned here, it was in emails (both the newsletter and a special email, as I recall) it was on Reddit, Steam, various Facebook Groups, Twitter, etc... it was about as inclusive as it could get.
That's seeing the glass as half-empty (and imagining features that aren't in the game). Think of it as saving half the time you would have spent retrieving the ship instead.

During combat. Combat logging.
The Sammarco Kid?
So as the posts built up from the forum possee, did you ever look across at Brookes Cassidy and say, "Who are those guys.......?"
I guessed not.
According to steam there are around 90-100000 players. So roughly half of the steam.player base voted.
