Totally agree, as a programmer myself I know the benefits of testing a system before releasing it to your customer base.

To Frontier Developments for Elite: Dangerous
Preamble
On September 19th, 2019, in response to another broken update a conference for content creators, influencers, community developers, and player group leaders was created. The purpose of the gathering is to push for a better game experience through publication of this joint request. We encourage Frontier Developments to allow volunteers to more readily contribute to the testing process as testing performed purely by Frontier has proven inadequate.
All of us love Elite:Dangerous, and we feel that Elite: Dangerous is not what it could be. We don’t ask Frontier Developments for miracles. We don’t ask for new content and we don’t ask for a major shift in development. We simply want everything already delivered to be maintained properly.
This document outlines primary issues and proposes changes we believe will ensure a better relationship between Frontier Developments and the Elite:Dangerous community.
Primary Grievances
The following bullet points are a simplified list of current grievances the community has with Frontier Developments and Elite: Dangerous.
Lack of communication across the board which includes: direction of the game, future roadmap, bug fixes and more.
Game-breaking bugs go unresolved for years at a time, primarily affecting multiplayer, but this is true across all aspects of the game regardless of mode.
Gross balance issues in multiple areas that cement the divide between combat-focused players and everyone else.
No Beta testing for most updates, with only ‘major’ releases seeing any kind of beta period while ‘minor’ releases go straight to live and always contain serious, game-breaking bugs that are immediately apparent during play.
Implement a Permanent Test Server, and bring back Betas
We feel that the implementation of a Permanent Test Server (PTS) where Frontier can actively test bug fixes and balance passes alongside players is the best way to ensure the quality of future

i'm not a veteran in the game , but to be honest i didn't like the micro-transactions pyramids at all , other than that , i really would love to see the game developers listen to the community because all their work is for the community , so why not just listen to them if you are working for them ?? and we love elite dangerous and thankful to all the staff behind it , we just ask for more understanding

For a lot of us E:D is a part of an escapism. It is a way of role playing and many of us have sunk hundreds of hours into not just playing the game but contributing to the needs of the community in large. It is a previous thing to many of as. As a SM I know and understand the value of delivering working software. I urge Frontier to listen to this letter carefully and seriously.

Well put together. I expect the actual F-Dev has been wanting this a while already though.

Been playing elite since early access, play it still to this day with over 4,000 hours logged. Please listen to the community Frontier Development, you wouldn't have gotten anywhere without them. The least you could do is listen.
