Dev news: Streams still not back

Update 11 scheduled for March 8th

Bruce announces this as a “change”
(does that mean they think they are saying things to us?)


Update 11 Delayed until “next week” for some things caught in QC
Paul Crowther: You will not need to make any jumps to install the social spaces themselves, however the new services are like any other and must be installed in a system that has Carrier Facilities. If your carrier already has a shipyard, its on foot counterpart will already be installed.
Bruce said there will be some Horizons fixes in the update.
Consoles development is ended - Braben

Exploring transfer options but nothing to announce right now.


Regular streams and communication will resume next week

FDev:

Braben assures us Frontier isn’t for sale. 

“If you look at what happened to the share price it wouldn’t make sense to do anything now,” Braben said of the possibility of a sale, adding that the 33 per cent stake he and his wife had in the company would act as a “natural barrier” to any takeover attempt.


Frontier adds Ilse Howling as a Non-Executive Director

Worked for BBC as Head of Digital Marketing and Communication
