Frontier Developments plc Year End Results

For the interested reader: http://www.investegate.co.uk/frontier-d ... 00233406Y/

Fun fact: with 11,500 members our group (now officially) constitutes 1,39% of the player base.

If you reasonably asume that about the same percentage of total buyers and total group members are active, these 1,39% are also applicable to the active player base. So more than 1 out of every 100 players is in our group.

I am convinced that not even 10% of all the buyers (or active players) have ever heard of us!
This I take from the member count of the official Forums, the subreddit, and the Elite: Dangerous Social media account followers.
Only the Forums come to 10% of the buyers, and we all know that only a small part of all the forumites there know about us.
So if you take this into account 1 out of 10 players who know about us is in our group!

That would mean, if our group would be known to all owners of the game, at least 10 times as many as right now, our member count could also be 10 times higher, rocketing us to over 13,9% of the player base, or in numbers: 114,675 members!

How about that? :D

Regards
Wolf

It would certainly be great to see that many commanders in the skies!

Something tells me Wolf is an accountant or statistician because he lost me totally!

How many Elite: Dangerous Commanders does it take to change a light bulb?

Can't be more than 32 as more will never meet! :D


Satisfied?

He's an accountant.

Only an accountant could inflate the numbers of our group by a factor of ten for reputation purposes and still make it seem sellable.


(Just in joking fun. No accountants were intended to be hurt in the making of this post.)

Surely that's a salesman's job?

Need a way of spreading the message, especially to those who have retreated into solo because they do not know we exist.

An in game power play factions could help greatly, if we can pull it off.
