    After a week of waiting for the pieces to arrive, I used u/Random846648’s instructions to make myself a Lego Krait Phantom! I changed the colours up a bit to match my own paint job in the game.

    FINAL UPDATE: EXPRESS TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUBBLE FROM COLONIA/SAG A*. This is an Imperial Fleet Carrier Express Transportation Service Announcement!

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 04:33 AM PDT

    LADY PRIMI's OLAVIAL HAS RECEIVED A VIP EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONVOY REQUESTING EXPRESS TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUBBLE. AS SUCH, THE EXPECTED JOURNEY DURATION HAS BEEN UPGRADED FROM THREE DAYS TO 24 HOURS!!!

    The journey will NOW begin on Thursday, 3rd of September 3306 from Agnairy JH-U e3-2113 and will be concluded the same day at Primi (near Cubeo).

    More details below:

    ​

    ALL PASSENGERS MUST READ THE FOLLOWING UPDATE:

    Are you an explorer but the silence of endless space is starting to get to you and you yearn for the peace and monotony of the bubble? Or perhaps you are just too lazy to fly 20,000ly back to civilisation and you wish to 'magically' appear there? Perhaps you 'slept' the night on a random Fleet carrier and now find yourself stranded, thousands of Light years from home. Ah, we know your struggle and we are here to come to your deliverance.

    ​

    Lady Primi's Olavial arrived at Agnairy JH-U e3-2113 four days ago on a scientific mission from the Imperial Scholars of Navigation in Primi; tasked with the mission of studying the eternal lightning storm that has developed inside the Black Hole Nebula, in hopes of perfecting the formula and blueprint necessary to terraform Primi 4 A's methane skies into a semblance of breathable atmosphere.

    ​

    The Scientific Expeditionary team led by Lady Erika Wagner has managed to isolate supercharged molecular particles (extracted from numerous and redacted sources) and has thus deemed the mission a success. However, due to a priority transmission from the office of Aisling Duval's Liason office in Primi, THE FLEET CARRIER HAS NOW BEEN TASKED IN ITS MOMENT OF DEPARTURE TO ALSO FERRY EXPLORER CMDRs RETURNING BACK TO THE BUBBLE IN THE HOPES OF SPREADING THE PEACEFUL PROPAGANDA OF HER MAJESTY PRINCESS TO THE FARTHEST REACHES OF THE UNIVERSE.

    ​

    In accordance with the Statutory Passenger Act of 3292; the following details have been made available for your perusal.

    ​

    Preliminary Departure Detail:

    DEPARTURE TIMELINE: {3 AM} 03-09-3306 --> {9 PM} 03-09-3306

    STARTING SYSTEM: Agnairy JH-U e3-2113 (Note: this system has a gravitational black hole as its primary star and thus CMDRs must take caution when arriving. The Fleet Carrier has been parked roughly 170,000 LS from arrival point which is the closest point to the Notable Stellar Phenomena. CMDRs can enjoy the beautiful lightning show in comfort while awaiting the departure day and time. More details below in Timetable.

    DESTINATION SYSTEM: Primi (beside Cubeo)

    CAPTAIN: Yarely Reilly

    VESSEL: Lady Primi's Olavial (V2J-NHJ) (This Vessel is registered to the Panacea of The Princess, a military consortium owned and led by the House of Chanter of Primi and Hip 1937 (35.00%), Primi Patrons of Law (30.00%), Wagner & Wagner Capital Partners (15.00%), Shimizu Investment Corporation (10.00%), Galactic Patrol Conglomerate (5.00%) and Private individuals of the Anti-Xeno Defence Force Scheme (5.00%).

    RANT... Dear Frontier: diversifying your game/studio portfolio is one thing...

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:00 AM PDT

    ...experiencing that as a true diminishment in passionate and meaningful Elite: Dangerous development is something else.

    I see you Frontier; operating like Microsoft, getting other studios underneath your fabulous imprimatur, I see you dawg...and I've got no problem with that. None whatsoever.

    Yet...as a LEP owner who bought into the work of Elite: Dangerous at the premium beta stage; as a 50 year old who engaged on Elite in 1986 on the Apple IIe; as a consumer who has deployed USD in four figures in supporting development by diving deep in the store, I feel that it just happens to be that as Frontier Developments diversifies both internally (with other games/licenses) and laterally (with Frontier Foundry), at the exact same time, there appears to be both a reduction in the depth and quality of improvements to Elite: Dangerous, as well as the actual LOSS of content (GalNet, Community Goals, et cetera).

    Are those things tied together? Not necessarily. Can't prove that. So can't say that.

    But it really does FEEL as if it is the case.

    And it's a problem.

    I hear, anecdotally (and maybe this is sourced as coming form FD somewhere, but I don't have that ready at hand) that there are "two hundred" developers, or a 200-person team, working on Elite. In particular, I hear, team members are grinding on Odyssey.

    But right now, Odyssey feels so likely entirely bereft of wanted features - features FD's teams, across the board, were made well aware of in terms of the desires and interests of the community - that it just has to be said:

    The current reality is that Elite: Dangerous appears to be a neglected product. A retreating product. An undervalued product. And we as those deeply engaged with it suffer the right, given the concrete reality of what we see (both right now and over time), to feel similarly neglected.

    Similarly backed away from.

    Similarly undervalued.

    I'm not angry; I'm sad, and I'm disappointed. Over time, I've watched a continuum of reaction from community members from disciplined and giving of the benefit of the doubt to, well, to be frank, Yamiks-and-Exigeous-level hostility to, as I've felt it, the very values-set of Frontier, and I've laid in the cut, enjoyed what I've enjoyed, and moved forward in hope, optimism and, frankly, in expectation, particularly as a LEP holder. Shit, Elite is the reason - the ONLY reason, until HL:A - that I bought a Rift S, and one for my son.

    But, again, the concrete reality of what we have (itself reduced in the ways I've illuminated above), the communication on what's coming (spotty, reserved, seemingly scared in some ways) and the current understanding of the depth and quality of what's coming (seemingly a paucity of and offering given both development time and community expectations, and maybe that's WHY communication has been hesitant at best) is devastating to hope, to optimism and to expectation.

    And that means it'll be devastating to bottom lines. I haven't REALLY touched the game since that ARX purchase I made in June (for Fleet Carrier shit, an experience I spent 5 billion credits on - more! - and then sold four days later, as it wasn't useful to me in any - any! - of my gameplay loops). Oh, I've logged on to account for updates I've seen, maybe play around with some builds, but nothing like the period where I was, for example, participating in Distant Worlds I, buying store content, buying the DWI book, connecting with others across Discord, tutoring players (including my son) in multi-player, and having cool experiences there, diving into the Guardians storyline, reading Elite universe novels offline...those days are far in my past.

    For most, Odyssey will be a paid expansion. Paid. You set a standard earlier in the run of this gaming experience that does not, at all, feel the same with this rollout; it feels small, and not as if it's reaching for much, more like it's reflecting a checklist being ticked off, item by item, and a small checklist at that. I have - well, not ZERO - but very little PASSION for this release. And I feel that it's your fault.

    Because I don't feel YOUR passion for it.

    The energy your social team has brought to STRUGGLE and Frontier Foundry has been inordinately higher than that which has been generated for Odyssey. Maybe your group knows something we don't yet know, but can feel.

    Are we on the tail end of our journey with this game? I don't know. But if I had to put good money down? I'd say that Frontier is acting like they are exhausted by Elite, and with us as a community, and that THEY are pretty much done. When you cast what's happened, frankly, since Michael Brookes left, in that light, everything falls into frame; what's happened actually makes sense. Indeed, it's among the very few ways one CAN make sense of what's happened.

    I'm not angry (although maybe I should be); I've got alot of other things in this world right now to receive my anger...but the world is always in some state of fucked-up-ed-ness. I used to escape a bit from that with Elite: Dangerous. But now some of the same things I've felt toward the world I feel toward this beloved game, and its maker. And I never, ever, thought I'd feel that way.

    And I'm just sad. I mean, I'll be fine - I am fine - and I'll see whatever Odyssey ends up being, and I'll retain hope (but no optimism) for it all, and, if need be (if the quality and depth continues in the wrong direction), I'll move on...but it's a sad moment. And I wonder if others feel similarly.

    A potential solution to Fleet Carrier upkeep.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 01:58 PM PDT

    So we all know the FC upkeep sucks. Yes it was reduced, but it still actively punishes you for not playing the game. Why should we be afraid of taking a break from Elite? Why should we have to plan around that? What if something comes up IRL where we can't play for a while? In my opinion, it's an incredibly bullshit game mechanic.

    Here's my suggestion:

    Implement Fleet Carrier Hibernation. You click a button on your carrier HUD, and your carrier goes into complete hibernation. You cannot land on it, you cannot move it (maybe it gets docked?), and you cannot use any of it's services. The weekly upkeep is reduced to 0 and you have to wait a full 30 days to reactivate it if you wish.

    This way, FDev can still have their precious upkeep mechanic without it becoming a real-life commitment if you (god forbid) decide to take a break from the game. The 30 day cooldown would make it so this feature doesn't get abused.

    Thoughts?
