Actually I remember Michael saying that the codebase would be released to the public domain if it was no longer commercially viable for FD.
After that, as a community based project who knows what would be possible..

I know you can't say what they are, but how many cool things have you seen? For example, Thargoids or aliens count as one item.
No, a few months,
Some of us have waited decades for this game, just wait for a few more months!!
Plenty...

Sadly I have to agree. I´m much more looking forward to some serious POLISHING of the game (or game framework) as it is. There is still a LOT of things which need some serious love, polishing and tweaking. The orrery view of the system map imho would falll in the category polishing.

I am trying to think of a question to ask, which you can answer and give us interesting stuff without getting yourself in trouble with FD or giving us any specifics...... So here goes!......
In your opinion (which we cant hold you to) with what you have seen so far behind closed doors do you think 12 months from now many of the early backers who just wanted a new elite and are worried now will look back at these panic threads and smile knowing it mostly turned out ok in the end despite a rocky month or so?

That's exactly how I think.

And this is also how I think.
I already think that. Just take a look at the threads from 6 months ago and you can see that
hehe .. nice try Commander .. though I have a feeling even this carefully worded question, would be more than Kerrash's next ED ambassador gig would be worth, to answer
Personally I think it's pretty nuts to think FD would aim to squander quality in ED, for a few quick releases now that completely ignore both the meta of what people, everybody, wants to see in ED in the long term, plus polishes, plus bug fixes .. which a relatively small studio has been pushing out at a rate of knots up until now. Why people on forums can't see that's FD doing the job both as quickly as possible AND to a high standard as possible, is a little bit beyond me.
We know there are planned (hoped for) paid expansions, FPS and planet landings but I can imagine several more that, if all goes well, we could see in the future. And FD, believe me, WILL be thinking of the long term. It's just too far out there to think they'd be hiring people, on the express intention of laying them all off again just as soon as they can. If income over expenditure was all FD cared about they'd never have employed them in the first place. Non?

For some reason I thought you 2 were friends in the meat space.... in which case maybe it would be safer to ask that one in person
I highly doubt he isn't.

I am still waiting for his answer.
I think every ambassador (and Kerrash has been more than an ambassador) have signed NDA (been mentioned couple of times here in forum).

No, the best way would be an epic pubathon, after ten pints of premium ale we would know everything!

Like fixing the things that don't work? Instancing, for example.
That's a definite yes, he mentioned it on steam, pretty standard for the industry
