Haven't played since around February, fired it up last night for a quick bash - still have most of my 500M cr, but I got bored in about 10 minutes...

Really think this game has died for me, which is unfortunate.... but in reality - there's nothing to do in it, that interests me at all.
 
Yeah I took a break when GTAV came out and haven't played it again since, but there have been no updates during that time either..
Ill be back for Power Play and hope I can get into it again, I havent given up on it just really needed a break though after grinding to 500-600m.
 
I've been playing so much DCS (A10-C) and DCS 2 is due out anytime soon, so that'll totally consume me for quite a while I imagine..

With elite, it just seems like there's nothing to do, no real new equipment, no new ships since, nothing else to actually do other than grind and kill NPCs,

How about hunt and kill player pirates such as code in the CG systems?

I got bored of killing pirates tbh, I hammered a number of them with friends in some of the big community events, and got sick of them logging, or the cost of damage sustained - although I did almost kill the guy with the highest bounty in the game (Dareth), and a few others....but even then, the whole thing was a massive pain - jumping into a system to see nobody, then jumping in and out - everybody would be there, (depending what instance you were in) doing this half the time, just to find someone..

I've played this game a LOT. (from Alpha) and it just needs other stuff to do.
 
It does lack content to some degree, but then if people have been playing since alpha/Beta your bound to hit the content wall, its not a fault of the game per say.

Its a casual game tbh, unless you want the top end stuff. I just dread the point when planetary landings come people think it will add stuff to do. It wont, it will just take longer to dock

Of course it will add stuff to do, how much is another matter, and it's not like they're going to destroy all the existing stations just because planetary are available, it'll be just another way to interact.
 
Not really, its just another place to Dock. Maybe if the planet was generated so you could take your viper and thrash through ice canyons etc. But i doubt it.

I feel exactly the same, mate. I'm hoping when CV1/Vive get released it will breath some life into it...Maybe by then there will also be some decent new content.

I do feel like I've had my moneys worth though.
 
Devs released some information about the Imperial Courier due next patch:

Finally, as a sneak peek on one of the two new ships, the base Imperial Courier is a reasonably quick ship (Speed 277) with a modest jump distance of 7.81 light years. It costs just over twice as much as the Lakon Type 6. It has three medium hardpoints with 4 utility hardpoints and as standard 12 tonnes cargo capacity.

Yeah, saw that the other day. Seems like it could make a good, fun little piracy vessel, however that jump range leaves me wondering if it will be very limited even when upgraded to a top-spec FSD. :(
 
16 million credits and 20% off a Diamondback for me :)

Though I now have enough assets to purchase a Python... hmmmmmmm...

I just bought it last week but i can see it getting boring very quick. As far as i'm aware it's just trade, kill pirates or be one, and explore....and that's it.

It should be able to join the police force, go on missions, join civil wars in some systems, contact Aliens either trade with them or fight them, etc. So many things you can do.

Hopefully now that the Core game it done they can move on to making more content.
 
It's a fantastic game is ED and glad I bought it - A must also for Oculus owners.

however has a few things missing to retain interest in long periods of play, hopefully power play will help.

It needs some crafting element imo to make it more community driven.

Planet landing and exploration hopefully in time, some variation of stations.

Cracking game though still in it's infancy with a huge amount of potential.
