Why does it take so long to fix game issues?

Well, not sure I'd refer to my previous reply as a "rant". It was a cute reply to a cute reply.
But for the answer we can only speculate that HG thought orbits was not going to add much to the gameplay design compared to other aspects. And I'd speculate FDev felt the opposite was true. Sound good?
As a player I can tell you my preference which would be having anything I listed versus having orbits. What gameplay do orbits bring? Actually rather they were not tidal locked as seeing sunsets and sunrises is much more enjoyable like we see in SC and NMS (even if faked they are engaging to the player).
In order to have orbits you'd need more than a bijou worldlet a few miles across in a skybox with a star painted on it.
Looks like some better communication is in order on some of the longer standing bugs. I had one today (personally I see very few) where I couldn't scan the Guardian Orb after triggering the pylons d dropped and 'lost' my relic. Annoying, but ho-hum..
Actually believe that knowing how this fanbase works here each one of these features would be praised and almost worshipped!
Good thing is you can! Right now! Choices are great. But still, Elite could have been more than flying a spaceship and pew-pew. Hard to imagine for some - even those with great imagination skilz!
Well there's plenty of praise criticism to go round, that's for sure.

Thanks for the answer.
Planets aren't tidal locked in ED (well maybe one or two are) and the sunrises are good to watch, if you are in the mood for that sort of thing. There are video's on youtube showing them.
This one looks to spectacular! https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...pedition-Hub?p=6948253&viewfull=1#post6948253
As to your list of features, to borrow a quote from another thread "I'm excercising patience".

You can change the HUD colours using an editor - but it affects avatar colouring in the UI, which kinda confirms what I mentioned does it not?
Well yes it does ruin the avatars, but really.. Avatars? Does anyone miss them?
Are they fixed or gimballed?
Dinosaurs are cool, not that I see any correlation between the subjects.
Not too sure what that has to do with anything. Surely they want to continue selling the game. Sean Murray also has the money of the people that bought NMS. Not too sure how that's relevant either.

Spoken like someone who never had the pleasure of installing an amplifier wiring kit in an alfa romeo...but however point taken. But the thing is, ye dont need to be a coding god to have an opinion cos opinions are like a holes...everyone has one. Suggesting someones opinion isnt valid cos they dont know the inner workings really just inflames tempers and causes more angst.
But then, I suspect ye already knew that...cause and effect...borderline trolling imo ^
Well, I think it's better to just talk about short term future (1 or 2 updates ahead) instead of features that even FD aren't sure about.
Ermmm, why?
Personally I prefer to have an opinion with some basis of fact and understanding to back it up. If I have none of that, then my opinion is just uneducated guess work.
So as to FDev taking their time to fix bugs, well they fix the game breaking ones pretty quickly, the none game breaking ones I assume they have a hierarchy of which gets done first, but they have fixed 1000's of them over the years.
NMS is still full of bugs and issues. Every game I have played has some kind of bug.
But I don't let them effect me. Some people seem to fly into a rage when ever they encounter one. I find it bizarre myself.
That depends on the game & on the car.

I think the main issue is it also affects the radar pips, and with neutrals and friendlies basically being differing shades of the same colour, 90% of the HUD changes causes them to be the same colour and enemies could be green / blue or any variation of the rainbow. Even knowing what colour they are when making your choice, in the heat of the moment, seeing a green blip causes the brain to think 'friendly'.
The Corn Silk Blue HUD; leaves the avatars still ok and enemies as orange but what should be red warning text in menus becomes almost impossible to read (in VR at least).
That's why Fdev can't sell HUD colours in the shop, they basically need to rework the entire thingamajig controlling colours.
AAA game design on the cheap? Just maybe.
Definitely this.
But a AAA game still. Elite was at best Triple-I but I wouldn't say so. Budget was likely not high enough.
