I was looking at sc last night seemed they had or have a 2016 goal of sorts. Got to say though i think id never really want to give up ed if it had smore features. Waiting for a DK2 should be here next week
So, I got home today,.... Booted up the game rig,..looked at my DK2 and had pretty much zero interest in playing Eliteangerous.

That Really sucks.... When I first loaded up the game and played on the DK2, I thought I would never stop playing. And as cool as it is to really feel present in the game, after almost 2 months of doing the same few things over and over, I am just bored with the game. The grind to make money to buy bigger ships to make more money to buy bigger ships to make more money to buy bigger ships etc. etc. is uninteresting because there is nothing to do with that money except buy bigger ships.... I can't build an empire or own a station, I can't join a union or a guild and participate in large objective based combat or missions, I can't do any meaningful or productive exploring...beyond point at a star or planet and wait..... wooooo hooooo. Money/credits should be a means to an end,...not the end in and of itself. Combat vs. NPC's is ridiculously easy, vs humans is more fun but almost never evenly matched, and anyone can just DC to avoid the consequences of losing a fight. Man,... sitting in the ships in VR is the coolest thing I've seen in a game.... BUt cool surroundings can only carry a lack of depth for so long. SO, I am left checking in after updates to see if anything has been changed or added (not yet far as I can tell). I'll check back again after 1.1..... I didn't really want to pirate other players, but that is probably the only semi interesting thing left to do in this game.... Problem with that is there are never any players around even in supposedly "busy" systems I hardly ever see anybody. Not to mention that I dont really want to deal with the coms panel.... I'd need to set up voice attack to use in in VR.... so maybe interdict and see what happens.... runners get splattered,.... people that drop their cargo live (maybe) ... I don't know what else there is to do really.... suggestions welcome.
