Brilliant!

I've been playing ED since early beta and I have to say I have had more fun tonight than I have since starting. I tried wings for the first time as a friend & I both bought a Vulture and headed to some anarchy systems and to a few RES points, and it has been such a good laugh. The game really does shine with wings and the boost to bounties makes it feel rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I do fair bit of trading, I enjoy it (for most part) and I could have made more doing that but tonight this was real fun and it was the first time I have actually been glad of the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Well done FD. You not only managed to get a solo trader into mulitplayer combat but it was the most fun I have had for a while.

I just wanted to post this because I feel that FD have actually made this game more fun in the last few updates. And we all play this for the fun, right?

As a dedicated bounty hunter, I have to say I'm loving the increased payouts. I might finally realise my dream and end up in a combat python/conda after all

As a dedicated trader i must say I'm enjoying seeing these posts of players that chose other professions finally having fun and getting a good amount of credits too. I hope FDev keeps it up, I think they are taking things in the right direction.

Warm fuzzy thread is warm and fuzzy.

I was back in game tonight for a go with the Vulture (Sold my half configured Asp I was working)....

Oh the joy of size 3 energy weapons and no ammo costs = keep killing forever !
And having a wing mate made it so much more fun, heck even our trade runs were funny.

+1 to FD rep score

same here.

i was contemplating moving ED off my SSD to make room for other games because the trade grind was killing it for me.
now with the bounty buffs im having the most fun in a while.

a buddy of mine agrees aswell, i sent him a screencap of my bounties after a half an hour and he is re-installing tonight!
maybe its time to take the 64T cargo rack of my asp.

This has indeed been a brilliant update.


As a dedicated trader, I am very happy that I am no longer competing for profits on a trade route with combat pilots who would rather not be doing that, but felt they had to.


And as someone who liked to jump into a Viper for a bit of space pew-pew from time to time, having the relatively affordable Vulture to do it in, with even more power, is very welcome.

Thank you for being so magnanimous.

I wonder if this move could SAVE the Game, specifically...."open".............Traders can get Proper protection from Pirates.......and will maybe feel safer venturing in to open.........Pirates will then have something to feed on........and so then will bounty hunters,................

It feels like the game has been given a new lease of life, for me anyway. There were times when I would go from system to system, station to station, hoping to bag an assassination mission on the BBS because the ten minutes I might spend doing that, plus the subsequent 10-20 minutes spent finding and killing my target would be more profitable than spending that same 1/2 hour actually bounty hunting. I don't feel like that anymore and I'm mighty glad about it.

I have been trading in a Python always in "Open", but since the changes I have done some fighting in her, I was reluctant before the updates because of the high costs of repairing hull damage, wow the python is a beast in combat, I love it

Well done FD with the updates, the game is now far more enjoyable, I am still mainly trading which I like, but it is nice to have a break and do some combat and still make good credits (500,000) last sortie

FD is headed in the right direction indeed. Grouped up and winged with a friend and had a blast today. Thanks FD for a great game...
