Exploring is fine. Playing wack-a-mole for gear is not. That's why
I do check high tech systems. It still can take a while.
Really? I think it's a good mechanic.
Outfitting is wack-a-mole

Head over to Leesti. George Lucas has all the cool toys 
You should be able to not have to screw around and place orders to have items shipped to you. It's amazing theres over 9000 trading vessels yet zero of them actually transport goods to players. If I don't want to jump 10 systems to find some PoS that may or may not be there, I should be able to hire an NPC to ship my order to me for the cost of the guns + distance fee + hazard pay along with the wait time for it to arrive.

The hunt for modules used to be so much worse and so illogical in the early stages of gamma, that by comparison I haven't really had any complaints about the current system. A few modules take a bit of searching, yes, but usually the essentials are now available in high tech systems that sell the ship you're in. Xihe has been my go-to outfitting world for much of gamma/release…
I would like to see things like stations that look different and are famous for having great outfitting etc. I know there are clues as to where you might find things but adding special places where you know there will be great things, if overpriced perhaps, would add loads to the atmosphere of the game. It's the seeming randomness that makes everything feel exactly the same. I love the game but it does feel like a complicated dice simulator at times.
he means leesti it was a typo
Maybe they could have a "space amazon" on the bulletin boards where you could just order all your parts and have them delivered! Hey they could even have a "space ebay" so we could all sit on our big fat space butts and buy and sell our space goods on that! Heck, we could maybe even buy a robot that would do that for us too, and just tell us our score when we "win"!
Yay!
Yay!
I doubt it's the way it is coz FD couldn't think of a decent mechanic. It's the way it is coz they wanted it this way, regardless of what you, I, or anyone else think. I just happen to agree with them (on this thing at least, there's several things I don't agree with).
On the trade thing, they are being VERY careful about what we can trade to avoid exploits, people selling credits etc.

They said this somewhere? Seems like overkill. If they want to get rid of credit farmers there's better ways.
No that's an assumption, but it's better than assuming they won't let us exchange things coz they hate us.
I think they are starting with overkill and slowly introducing things (like being able to abandon cargo, that's REALLY recent) rather than putting a bunch of stuff in then having to wind it back when it gets abused.

Sorry, there is no legitimate reason I can't trade goods / loot / credits to my friends.
