I'm on my way to Colonia with my 3rd account, stopping at every megaship on the Colonia Bridge, landing on atmo planets, scanning biologicals. I'm 15,000 ly from the bubble, have enjoyed over 100 hours of gameplay so far, and that account doesn't even have a combat ship.
What can the devs do to help grow the population?

Lego Worlds is an underrated gem (no kidding). Maybe those people should try it right now.Some people just have this idea of the Perfect Game in their head and cannot ever accept reality. We live in a golden age for space games with so many excellent choices, but some will always stay the "what if ED had ELWs that looked like FS2020 with flora and fauna like NMS and deep multiplayer like EvE and racetracks and you could go swimming and tame dinosaurs and then sell them and become a big dinosaur trader and I'd get invited to the royal palace and everyone will say what an awesome person I am and strong and sexy too and nobody will bully me anymore especially Jimmy who has been very very mean to me and I told the teacher and she said i should talk to jimmy but then he just threw the ball in my face and i didnt even play with the ball it was 40 years ago but its not fair and that is what I want FD to do." type.
Literally the only non-combat content he has with SC 1) carrying a box from A to B, and 2) mining. Both are at least as shallow as ED gameloops, in a single tiny star system, with even worse performance than EDO and far, far more bugs and crashes. Ignoring all other issues, no sane person plays SC because "EDO doesn't have enough non combat content".
But if he is having fun, good for him!
A roll back to 2.4 would probably get my friends and I back into ED...
As a lifelong player and fan of the Elite series I will even wait and see if Elite Deadly returns to formula before I bought in. Such is our complete lack of interest in the current game and lack of trust in the next one.

I don't think rolling the game back 4 years is on the cards.
What is this, Quantum Leap?
The Cities, Asteroid mining, Earth Like planets, ship interiors & Fine details are amazing.Literally the only non-combat content he has with SC 1) carrying a box from A to B, and 2) mining.

Completely this, i played a freebie slot a while back, it was enough to make me never spend real money on that game, in bikers terms its like a Harley Davidson, sure it looks amazing but then you start it up and try to ride it.Literally the only non-combat content he has with SC 1) carrying a box from A to B, and 2) mining.

All their money is being spent on a new posh HQ in Mancunia.

The truth is, despite the renaissance of space games™, there's still nothing like ED out there, not even close.
In fact, the only viable option for those that don't like the direction FDev took with EDO, is to keep playing EDH and hope for the best.
Bethesda is going to release a space-themed game called Starfield next year.

The steam reviews tell of the greatness of ED & EDO.
Console players seem to be very pleased also and how about the VR players & those that enjoy the ship interiors.
But what about the Steam charts?
Well, it's about time they found some happiness.
Got to say the bugs didn't make me that happy, but your obviously tormented existence makes up for that.
At least I can play that game that everyone here hates so much when I'm overly tormented.
We don't hate Putt-Putt Joins The Parade, whatever gave you that idea?
Looks like it's gonna be a good game, but it's likely to nbe a very different animal to ED. Of it looks good I will get it, but it won't be a replacement to ED. ED scratches an itch, that no other game can do at the moment.
