"(although of course we still have some surprises left up our sleeves for you leading up to the 16th December!)." - Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #49
Correct me if i am wrong, but so far that has been only the voyager probe and the insurance thing that got reverted. Other than that there have not been any surprises.

Freelancer in 2003 did this , why not ED ?
Thats just unprofessional for an MMO RLS
Unacceptable is here the right term !

ED 1.0 is a solid game and much is planned post-release. Did you play Eve Online at launch? It had less stuff and more bugs.
More multiplayer features like Wings will be added early 2015.
Perhaps they're keeping them as, you know, surprises?

Where are the 25 ships ? And all surprise promises for release ?
You should put that in the patch notes like
- Faction events activated. Watch the newsfeeds for the story to unfold.
Will there be multiple conflict zones? There has to be some massive story based events.

It's great to see Elite: Dangerous has finally gone live and for that I'd like to congratulate David Braben and his team on this milestone.
But I've found the release of version 1.0.0.0 to be underwhelming and quite disappointing.
Other than the new storyline and the fact that the insurance changes were rolled back to 2.06 ... nothing seems to have changed.
I wasn't expecting any large changes on release day , but I would of thought its a great opportunity to add something new. For example if they were no further ships available for release day, why not just have held one back (like the Python) and rolled that out now.
Also none of my (and afaik anyone's) kick starter items have arrived, indeed there's no news on exactly when we will get them.
Not even the day one decal is available for me to use.
There is the skull decal, but that's bugged on my Python as trying to apply it just gives a server error.
Elite: Dangerous is a great game but once again I feel like the communication and marketing from Frontier does not come up to par with the design and development teams efforts.

You really need to communicate with players how all this all works. How to access story, how it changes the universe, how you're meant to interact with it. This is really poorly done and the newsletters is not the place to do it.

There are 15 ships right now and the surprises will be coming. I don't think the newsletter stated that the surprises would be revealed within a couple of hours of the launch, especially if they are story driven. First and foremost, get the game up and running and people logging on.
As for the other features, they are coming too... patience. For those who have been closed or away from the development loop, simplification of friends or Wings is coming 2015, Comms is already in the game for up to 6 players shared. You can also with a little effort follow each other everywhere, it just isn't automatic and get used to that, there will be NO tethered jumping (there will be simplification and tools to help stay together, but you will not slave yourself to another ship) or some magical teleportation to team up. You have to do the flying...
THink Mr MB has stated enough that for the story, you need to follow the news feeds IN-GAME and as its News, it will be LIVE and continuous, not pre-defined. So get out there and play, find your feet, and keep an eye open... this is not a pre-scripted story with Heroic missions that everyone has access too. This is a living and breathing galaxy and it is up to YOU to decide how you interact with it.
