*** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

Quick fetch Monty Don, a flying rose head has escaped.

Problem with Elite is non of the Devs apart from head honcho actually played the first couple of games. There could be someone in marketing who remembers it though, as this side of things is a little better.

Every job applicant should have been made to play Elite II to at least Deadly before even getting allowed to use a keyboard & mouse.

This would has resolved 90% of the issues.
 
I have a semi kitted out anaconda and a fully A rated Asp explorer plus 60m credits in the bank.

Wondering whether to plow the credits into the anaconda or trade the Asp in for another python. I miss my Python.
 
I still think the problem with the game is it lacks direction, theres no "end game" other than what you set yourself, people moan about the grind, but thats life, want a new car, best work your ass off, same as ships or mods in Elite...

There needs to be a bit more user interference possible, get 50 Corvettes and go blow up a station or something like that, make it so users can have more of an effect on the universe...

It would be (slightly) more tolerable, if a large part of the grind didn't involve constant RNG.
RNG to find items, RNG on being hunted down whilst farming the items & worse, RNG on crafting the items re:engineers :/
 
Just checked, if anyone needs UA or UA parts, following has them as just got some from there.
HIP 17403
Planet A 4 A
Lat -34.9827
Long -141.4137

Oddly, human crashed ships have been added to the site since last time was there.

RNG=It's the lazy game programmers best friend.
Saves having to programme a proper AI.

Good point that, i reckon Brookes may have played it and maybe Sarah Jane Avory most definitely as she did Thunderhawk for the Amiga.
 
Been flying all over with ruins items & two Unknown Artefacts, only thing I've seen is constant string of ships trying to kill me. :rolleyes:
Last two hours trying to find an Unknown Probe, none spawning.
I should just give it up as a bad job :(
 
Servers will be down today from 9:00 for around 9 hours estimated. Last major patch iirc they did come on around 18:00 but it then took yonks to dl it.
 
If you've still got beta files installed, they can reduce time of new patch install, but not sure how much by.
Dagnabbit, day in waiting for a parcel & won't be able to flap about trying to get my first interdiction.
Ah welp, Dungeon Souls it is :D
 
I read this thread and wonder why some of you even play the game, it's clear you have no like of it and that FD can do no right in your eyes. It's sad and I have to wonder why you continue to waste your time playing and whining about something that nobody is forcing you to participate in.

100% agree. Repeated negative comments do nothing. I played the game intensively for about 9 months and then kind of burnt out. Sure I wish it had something to suck me back in, but at the moment it doesn't.

I still dip in every now and then, bit of asteroid belt mining, bit of co-pilot training in a res etc.

I would love to see player generated missions with the flexibility to allow player's imaginations to drive content. Atmospheric planet landings would also - for me - be huge. I want to see procedural life, imagine the impact of revealing your ship to undeveloped intelligent life.

I played the original elite for 1000s of hours as a teenager, the modern game would have been beyond my 13 year old self's wildest dreams. We should revel in what it offers and the potential it plainly has!

Because it is the best (only) space game out there and I love this type of game.

That doesn't mean it isn't deeply flawed though. The flaws frustrate me because with a bit of work in the right direction, the game could be one of the best of all time.

For all my grumbling about it, I do enjoy playing it as there is nothing else quite like it. Games like this are a dying breed :(

I just have to dip in and out of it in patches to try and avoid burning out on it.

I'd happily bung frontier another £30 if they added another layer of depth to the gameplay along with atmospheric planet landings.

Glad I backed up my own bindings.

Hruh?

Still doesn't have an increase in data/materials capacity, something the game really needs. I get sick of having to delete something I need for something else I need :(

P.S. I couldn't resist :p
