Elite Dangerous | 2025 Roadmap
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
33 years after Wing Commander/Privateer - FDev has not implemented even a half of features of those games.
I was able to make orders to my wing, they were asking for help in dogfight and I was able to ask for help - and get support! I had friends among NPCs!
It was possible to lay minefields and clear mines, to block stations and lift sieges, the smuggling was profitable. Missiles were useful, after all!
Trading, missions, storyline. ED trading and missions are ridiculous, compared to Privateer.
Earn 400 points to get the title of king - the storyline from FDev.
I know, right? It's been 33 years and fdev still haven't introduced flat VGA graphics and the absolutely mahoosive star system map.
Ehm, you mean - we already have working antialiasing?
Brings back good memories. That's the last good thing he did.
It can't work because this algorithm is not in the game due to the stop on FSR1.
This upcoming upgrade to the ED graphics engine is looking good.
WC was a couloir. Nothing to compare here.
I've explicitly wrote about dogfight and missiles. Can't they be compared?
But you spoke as if having a storyline was a good thing which throughs doubt on your whole post.
Nah, it was terrible.
Sacrilege.
Wing Commander was awesome, as was Privateer (even better imho).
would love some long large cargo ships for hauling
wonder if the "new feature" at the end of year will be linked to the new ship that comes out at the end of year.
size 5 hardpoint? "collosal cannon?"
maybe a tractor beam so we don't need to mess about trying to manually boop a cargo ship to a standstill to get its cargo... Cause somehow a type 6 can achieve 200x the speed of light if you have the misfortune of shooting out its engines... spewing all its cargo out over 20ly track meaning you'll only have time to collect 1 ton before they all despawn...
(yes I am exaggerating... but it certainly feeeels like it...)

Yes, would really appreciate an NPC crewmate - hopefully with a bit of game play around it.
