According to Fdev PR: Hopefully this week, if all goes accordingly. Time will tell...
(Probably this month)Thing is that though both are great games, like all sandboxes they dont contain major content (Sandbox provides mostly the tools). Content is made by the continuous story development of the developer OR by players that create events/teams/fights/pve/pvp etc.Both of these are driven by the developer company though like in most online games out there. The first by having a dedicated programming team and the second by promoting events with prizes etc. ED needs a new game. FC interiors will be used up in a week. ED needs content across the board, new ships, new exploration findings, planetary life to investigate and admire, new guardian puzzles, new lore, refined bgs, miningfull CGs and a way to make not all goods look the same in use. The ability to "create" and "Expand". To become 4X game in a way. That demands new server, new content, a funding source from like dlcs, and seperation of open and solo universe (SC is open only already). I don't think all these can be done without a proper project manager.....

I don't think we have seen the full scope of what was laid down in "New Era" yet. The re-prioritisation and focus on optimisation post Odyssey launch and the resulting delay in merging the two code bases has surely put a huge spanner in the original plans. I think we need to wait until the code bases are merged before we can tell what the scale of New Era is.
Disgusting
История повторяется. До выхода JWE2 мы могли видеть картину стагнации в игре, обновления были вялыми и с кучей багов, не было решений проблем, только скины выходили каждую неделю. Теперь снова релиз обновления для JWE2, у нас снова есть задержки, переводы. Но мы убеждены, что это никак не связано. Это, конечно, мое мнение, но совпадение странное.
И прямо сейчас также есть минимальная обратная связь от разработчика после нового года. Кау как будто решили нас бросить.

Better I make the most of them when they arrive then! Do they go away, or just wear out?
English speaking folk might appreciate the translation:
History repeats itself. Before the release of JWE2, we could see a picture of stagnation in the game, updates were sluggish and full of bugs, there were no solutions to problems, only skins were released every week. Now again the release of the update for JWE2, we again have delays, translations. But we are convinced that this has nothing to do with it. This, of course, is my opinion, but the coincidence is strange.
And right now there is also minimal feedback from the developer after the new year. Kau seemed to have decided to leave us.
Particularly as this is the english langauge part of the forum...
Dammm! You just had to go and use
that "soon" word.
Wondered what that meant myself. I suspect "worn out" or "novelty factor gone". However, it could also mean there'll be no interiors left in outfitting so I'd better buy one quickly.
I suppose it depends on whatever one might consider 'useful' or 'novel', I don't think I would be transferring to the bridge for each jump after seeing how it has been implemented, but certainly see the longevity of services available, but that may just be because my little group are very active and a 'meeting place' and market for our spare stuff would be useful.

Actually I've consulted some of the old, dried ones behind the fridge and they feel that the the update will be around lunchtime. I'll give them a further squeeze to see if they could confirm which day.
Meanwhile, back on page 6 of this thread...
My stance is the same as it was then. Better for the update to be right and delayed than deployed and severely broken.
I have the patience to wait for as long as required and I don't need a "date" to fixate on either. Putting a date on a release that is as complex as this one is foolhardy IMO.
Let's face it, this update is not just FC interiors, it's not just a jump animation (which I admit, is something I'm really excited to see), it's an entirely new trading system when players are on a Fleet Carrier, plus there are other fixes and changes for the wider game incoming in the same update.
The issues encountered could be anywhere. Update 11 is not a trivial update in the slightest. It's a large, complex update that deserves respect from the Dev's, QA's and players alike. The last of these, the most because we just consume it, the Dev's and QA's craft and test it. With the best will in the world, the QA's will never catch everything because their test systems are divergent from production. It's the nature of the beast, as players we're not interacting with the test system so QA's don't see the weird and whacky things we do as players to the system. IME, users of any system will find "workarounds" and ways to do things that the designers of that system never planned for or envisaged.
Give FDev the space to get things as right as then can but still expect issues because the game is large, complex and written by HUMAN BEINGS who make mistakes despite their best efforts. Applying a large complex update to a large complex piece of software is never trivial or without risk of issues, unforeseen or otherwise.
Also, and this is coming from an '84 vet. that loves Elite very, very much. However much we'd like to think it's our second life, IT'S JUST A GAME to pass our time in a fun and enjoyable way, there's no need for players to be so serious and no need to link every update to the slightest change in the price of stock of the company etc. All that is a waste of your time as is writing most of this post for me I suspect because the point will be missed by many!

I am sure that the update 11 release date changed because they will fix these two old bugs for EDH:
- https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/17037 since 2020-06-16
- https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/45748 since 2021-12-09
It is true that refreshing a selling page in the Cartographics service and adding a missing text to the confirm FC transfer button is a really hard task!

My impression on how ED Cmdrs evaluate updates:
- what IS NOT delivered: 70%
- how BADLY is delivered what is delivered: 15%
- what new BUGS are delivered: 10%
- what IS actually delivered: 5%
It’s been more than 24 hours, surely that counts as more than a single day and we are now into “days” territory, so where is my update already
just excited, this patch makes we actually want to “own” a fleet carrier. Which by my slow pace since launch, I might have acquired enough wealth to buy and run one at the same time Fdev will be dishing them out to all commanders for free in the final year they keep the severs going.
