Update on Communication
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
Well they have been concentrating on content, bug fixes and QOL, no need for too much communication when we can see what they are doing.
Plus the at least twice weekly updates, have i missed owt?

You missed "Frontier bad". We just got a huge content dump, we are getting an unexpected QoL point release, Sally and Paul do their best to keep us informed about what we are allowed to know beforehand, we get huge teasers (might even say: Spoilers) on the live stream before the release, but Frontier talk too little to us. I suppose they are expected to give us a weather forecast, too.
At this point, the only community post I'm looking forward to seeing is the date when the code is released, private servers can be hosted, and mods are allowed.
Until then, I think the CMs are very nice people that have their hands tied and do the best they can with the restrictions placed upon them.

Well think about the poor doomsters! It's kind of hard to argue that the game is dedd when so much is happening, so they need to recycle some of the old arguments..
And then we will lose all of the story coming from a single source, instead replaced by Mods where everyone releases a new tiny ship with a tardis like interior with 50 hardpoints that can one shot every other ship in the game, but it won't matter since each hosted server will have only 5 players spread over 400 billion stars....
.. or do you see it playing it out differently?
Wow what you describe sounds awesome
I have no interest in the story, never have. I am interested in any news about future changes to the game & opening up the game to the modding community could add some great stuff even if most of what's created didn't appeal to me (much the same with FDev developing it now
).I saw what the modding community did with Skyrim, wouldn't let them within 65k LYs of this game if it was up to me.Wow what you describe sounds awesome

Was is compulsory to install the mods you thought were bad?
I used to do racing games, there were all sorts of physics & cosmetic mods, new cars & tracks, stuff like that. Some of them were amazing, none of them were required if one just wanted to continue playing the game as-bought.
Totally differently. There are trainers in ED right now that one shot or confer invulnerability for pilots. Your likelihood of encountering another pilot in those 400 billion stars is already exceedingly low. Take the last CG for example, how many players participated? Less than 5 k in both branches, and most in solo or pg.
I would expect much more rapid pace of third party development. I don't suppose you have ever played Skyrim, Fallout 4, CP2077, Minecraft etc. ? Those games have thrived on mods. Interesting that you mention ship interiors. 1000% more likely to be achieved through mods.
That is unfortunately true.Possibly around the same time SC goes live then?

Have fdev ever had mods in their games? Never going to happen in ED regardless.
On the subject of interiors, how would a modder be able to rewrite the game engine and instancing to include user-created interiors?
I'd still want a tête-à-tête with Aisling, those feet..
it will be ban oportunity for fdev
We have fade to black instancing to cockpit and srv interiors. The same technique would be used.
I don't doubt that FDEV will never show what is under the hood. Serious witchspace in there.
