What's the stupidest thing in this game?

The stupidest thing is that it is not possible to SC nearer to a system that is just beyond your max jump distance and then actually get in range to jump, even if all my ship's systems tell me that it should be possible.
 
Calling the Warp drive "Friendship Drive"!

"Friendship factor 9 Scotty"

Scotty gives the Captain one of his sideways looks.
 
Speed caps on the ships, nerfed yaw rate, nerfed reverse/translation speeds relative to forward speed, faster turns with mid-throttle. All designed so that spaceships fly like airplanes in an atmosphere.

But that horse left the barn a long time ago, and I'm still managing to have fun with the game. They should have nicked the I-War 2 flight model though...

I preferred I-War 2's "LDS" drive.

Linear Displacement System sounded cool, and you always "accidentally" called it the LSD.
 
The complete lack of Air Traffic Control. The amount of failfests in the letterbox usually with NPC's flying Type 9's like my grandma is just getting silly now.

I agree with this one tbh, afk in the station yesterday for a while and i come back there is just debris floating around everywhere the station is basically a giant wood chipper atm and the AI logs.
 
We need Susan Ivanova in charge. Pretty sure the only time she had traffic problems was when the Narn and the Centauri decided to start attacking each other in the docking bay. Otherwise, Babylon 5 did just fine with a letterbox.
 
There's a whole lot good about this game, but there are also many stupid things. A small sampling of the things I find stupid are: getting a bounty for accidental friendly fire; almost no punishment for murder; your refinery can't remember your what to do; finding cargo in deep space, and taking it, is illegal; and etc. But for me, the stupidest thing has to be that the black market is listed on the official station services interface. What were they thinking?

I could also ask what is the greatest thing, but there are so many great things that I could never pick just one. :rolleyes:

The black market is listed on the contacts tab. As the only interface players currently have with the game is through the ship GUI you appear to be raising a criticism without any thought of a solution. Given the current ship only limitations, I believe that the black market is in the only logical place it could be. I suspect that this will change when you can walk around stations, as finding a black market contact would make for a mini game.
 
One of the first things noticed from me was no rear view mirrors. Guess they're obsolete in the year 3000 or whatever.
 
The place holder that is USS...go find these top secret military plans...aka go find a USS....go find the black boxes of destroyed ships to hide our involvement...aka go find a USS...go kill pirates...aka go find a USS...assassinate X..aka go find a USS to be told what system your target is in then goto that system and ....find a USS.
What was wrong with the Frontier/FFE system of missions...take this to system X,go scout this system...your target will be here at this date stalk and kill....here is a nuclear missile go blow their base to bits.
This, although I am sure it is a placeholder.
Also, shield cells.

Honestly you would think in that day and age that they would have fighter cockpits with a 360 view much like the Falken from ace combat. Instead of glass you have cameras everywhere displaying all possible angles in the cockpit, mix this with holograms and I think you would have a very effective system.

Obviously non-combat ships would probably still have regular glass and holograms, but maybe with a back-up camera displayed on the dash.
