Obsidian Ant said after visiting the Frontier offices on June 9 2017 ''"Another thing that I know has been concerning people is Frontier's talk about working on the "core mechanics" of the game after 2.4.  Some people feel this means the game is going into maintenance mode with Frontier simply working on bug fixes and minor changes.  We got the chance to ask for clarification on this - and the "core mechanic" changes actually means that Frontier are going to flesh out existing game mechanics and give the developers the opportunity to bring these aspects of the game inline with the original concepts as well as to perhaps add further enhancements where they can.  So it seems that this is going to be big deal stuff, rather than just small tweaks."<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/356790-My-visit-to-Frontier-Developments-and-the-Future-of-the-Game</ref>''
''"Another thing I've seen people wonder about, is whether or not there will be new features in the future updates.  Good news is that there will still be new content added to the game along with new headline features.  However Frontier are not willing to talk about what that stuff is just yet."''

During the 2016 Elite Dangerous 24 Hour Charity Livestream! David Braben confirmed a 10 year development plan and he hopes it'll be a lot longer than that. <ref>Elite Dangerous 24 Hour Charity Livestream! Part 1! 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS33cyq6Z_A&t=21m00s</ref> "''Looking back at those (developer videos), you can see what we've done, were executing on the plan. There's still a lot of things that are to come and those are very exciting. We do have a long plan. It would take us a long time to deliver all the things that we want to do. The great thing is the more things get added to the end of it. So it may well be never ending. I've said sort of 8 years, 10 years, but actually it could end up and I'm hoping it'll be a lot longer than that. The key point is we'll keep doing exciting things and we'll work out how best to do that."''
