Thatgoids I couldn't care less about, the difference between shooting down a bounty or what is essentially going to be a different kind of bounty.
It's the unexplained anomalies what I wish for, it's exactly what Brakespear said, I understand that the idea is to make this as realistic as possible and I think there is only so much creativity they will allow themselves because of that.
Its a little soon to be making such definitive statements about what out there.
One of the recent newsletters said only something like 0.0015% of the systems had so far been explored. Not what anyone could consider a representative sample.
Its rather like assuming we know what our house is like because we are familiar with the backs of our eyelids.
I went into the film expecting it to be rubbish (the trailers put me off completely, so I was suspicious of the high ratings people gave it, but I was seeing it for free...) and was completely blown away by it, and it had a great twist or two at the end. An unexpected SF jewel of 2014. The music on it's own is amazing, and a perfect fit for playing Elite Dangerous.
However, as SF films go, it required the viewer to really pay attention & have some science knowledge, so I can easily imagine non-SF fans not following half of what happened (as I heard happened to someone). It's the sort of film which puts people completely off SF, if they've not watched SF before (the film 2001 was rather like that). So it's rather a shame that the trailers (at least in the UK) tried to make it look like mostly non-SF film.

The only way the 'Universe' can kill you is if you intentionally fly into a star, intentionally. Thats it. Period.
There is the ever present risk of making just one more jump then to discover that you cant fuel scoop enough fuel to make it back...
Doesn't seem that way when you read all the "I made one tiny mistake (translation: a steaming pile of multiple huge dumbass mistakes) and my ship 'ploded without insurance, how the heck did that happen duh?!?" posts on here.

Well Matt Damon exploded his ship in this movie cause he couldn't dock.
NASA is presented really stupid in this movie:
"Gravity from black hole causes tides?"
" You mean like the Moon does?"
????
Also they want to settle planet orbiting just the edge of black hole WHY?
And how exactly do they get back to orbit against 130% earths gravity with that tiny shuttle?
Thats 47 000 km/h orbit velocity.

I'd like "Learn to speak Portuguese" tape playing like the Stig.
Ahh, it was the twist at the end that I thought was ridiculous. It was nonsense and didn't fit with the film in my opinion.
I disagree with everyone saying that AI or PVP fighting compensates to give the "dangerous" feeling.
Elite: Dangerous is simulating advanced technology that could go wrong in fascinating ways, for example what if a nebula suddenly became dangerous like in the 2D game Faster Than Light? You get in there, sensors and shields go off and so does flight assist. Sounds like a nice idea in overall, but to add excitement, there's now a rare asteroid belt inside that nebula and therefore a station nearby. You could get a ton of money in that nebula but you better watch where you're going or else you might hit something.
But I guess Frontier is too focused in making E.D. an exact replica of the earlier games (which I never played btw) so maybe they'll make exploring more dangerous/exciting when they'll allow planetary landings, and then hopefully allow the player to come out of their ship and walk around, immersion coupled with realism is what makes this game better than the other big names such as star citizen and Eve Online, so in my opinion planetary landings and EVAs are their only bet in making this game better than the other ones.

Nebulas and asteroid belts don't work that way in the real world. Even if you're right in the densest part of the nebula, you might only be able to see it as a faint glow.
When planetary landings are in, I expect that exploration will become a fair bit more dangerous and exciting.
Actually, sine waves aren't half circles.
...
I'm sorry... I don't know why I do that...
Because maybe they indeed aren't! (I was thinking the same thing when I read that response)
I'm sure Matthew can find a Math expert in the office to get him to explain that!
Anyway brilliant music which to me wasn't as much inspired by Kubrick but much more by Phillip Glass's work done fo Koyaanisqatsi.
Intersteller ?? never heard of this title before.. lol
ahhh Interstellar.. yes i saw it.
This is the first real Movie of Christopher Nolan that doesn't convinced me at all..
Despite the incredibles FX i agree with people who said that this movie is almost rubbish.
And i don't understand who is over enthusiastic about it.
sad, but true.

I still cannot understand what's so special about that movie. Yeah that black hole Gargantua was spectacular (liked the name too), and docking scene is well done, but pretty much everything else is just a bad mix of plot holes, bad scripting and goofy physics. For me, Edge of tomorrow was the best Sci-Fi in 2014.
