Throwing out means getting rid of in development e.g you throw out a system in favor of another that does the same mechanics better, holding off means not implementing something till x time frame.

You shouldn't put words in YoshiP's mouth. It's just shaky speculation.

Paraphrasing isn't exactly misrepresentation.

We'll be the judge of that. Where's your source quote?

"The thing is, we realized that we could bring out player Companies, but then if there's nothing for the Companies to do there wouldn't be any reason to bring it out."

In other words, he thinks they have no function.

Really? Because I've read that line over and over and I don't see where he says that.

I interpret it more as a postponement, not a discard.

"nothing for the companies to do" != "no function"

And where's your quote about not wanting player-owned ships?

Actually i'm pretty that's all it would mean...nothing to do = no function. Doesn't mean no functionality but it means they are useless now.

Either way, there was recently word from the devs that Player run companies are no where near being out of the picture.
