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
