And we spent years in developing NFM after NF2 so it was and is hard time for SDE now.
Besides manpower, another issue is the coding. Original programmer of NF had left long time ago, if you are familiar in IT stuff you should know that it's not easy for another programmer to follow up the code in short period of time, especially when it's done long time ago.
I can promise you that we senior management are serious to fix all the issues in NF and I strongly believe NF can live for another 10 years easily if we fix the major problems. However, the agenda may not be as smooth as I planned so there are delay in the schedule. We are trying to hire more programmers to enhance the efficiency, but it takes time to find the right person. I appreciate your patience in the growth of NF with us.
For those who say we are after $$$ then close the server. It's never true. I am with NF since 2002 and I WILL NOT LET IT go down. I always emphasis the balance between F2P and P2P. All players are equal weight in my heart.

Vinnson,
I can tell you also the number of new ships has also helped cause issues in the game.
SDE should never have pushed for more than the bb6 tier.
The higher level while good for those who like grinding should have been looked at in a different way to spread out the current ship tree from bb6 down and then propper balancing could have been completed.
You are right that SDE (Managment not GMS) have always forced their way into this game and it is now costing them.
I worked with Karma, MK2 and DarkGM when I was in TeamNF and tried to help push things along which would help the game. Unfortunately, all 3 had their hands tied and I could only sympathize.
I like so many are all willing to help and support the game. I personally have not come back because I crash too often now to even play, so I sit here watching the forums waiting for things to get better.
Lets hope they do.
As always I'm here to help if needed
Regards,
