The worst thing for elite was being made by frontier as they are now. Frontier now is just a tycoon simulator game generator, that's all they care about. It's like the FIFA of the tycoon games... spit out another one every year or two and who gives a rats ass about the stuff we already made or haven't completed.
I loved what elite wanted to be, I hate what the bean counters did to it...
People shit on star citizen for their dev cycle, but elite took the worse route in my opinion: they released a minimally viable product and then intended on building it into something bigger, but got cheap/lazy and just accepted that what they have out is "good enough" so they dumped all the internal ship plans (braben spoke about boarding ships and piracy on foot in a ship, that kind of thing.) They dumped so much of the simulation stuff and just stuck with the BGS... it's frustrating to see what could have been.
