What Grinds Your Gears?

Grit in my Grease

Fake thugs in big pants.
People who have nothing better to do than complain.
Jingoism.
Capital Punishment
Anti Vaxxers.
Holocaust Deniers.
Racists, bigots, fascists and chavs (my new single on iTunes).
Religious Dogma.
Xenophobia.
Clowns.

Clowns. Definitely Clowns.
.
And Mimes.
.
And Badgers - stripey b*****ds.
.
And no proper paragraphs.
.
 
1) Can't see hud or target when facing a Star

2) dirt/dust/fog on windshield... in space...

3) No customizable hud without using 3rd party websites, which I don't trust.

4) The fact that a space ship, several years in the future, can't compensate for gravitational effects.

5) Take forever to get away from a planet when entering SC.

6) In system SC... RES 2k out? I'm not going... that'll take forever.

7) Lack of stats on modules

8) linear ship progression... Can we get some alternatives so there's choice? Start with sidewinder, go to Anaconda... Game over, you win!

9) Lack of module options - What should I use? Well, A everything and pick a set of guns.

10) NPC wakes - They always leave system, even when they just got there.
 
Wen someone gets killed and they cry about being greifed.
The terrible lods in astroid fields
No godrays
bad draw distance
 
1) No good HUD customization
2) HUD moving off screen when slowing
3) Unable to attach/destroy stations
4) Not able to find a specific part for my ship in game
5) NPC pirates interdicting me when I'm seconds away from dropping SC
5) Bad NPC AI
 
Clowns. Definitely Clowns.

I forgot mimes! (headslap)
.
The weird hand gestures I make when I'm doing nothing at all to cause them in my ship.
.
Npc pirates that interdict me and want to know what's in my non-existant cargo hold.
.
Bossy wanna-be Npc cops telling me I'm clean and to be on my way.
.
The need for some new Cmdrs to treat ED like it's Xevious in 3D.
.
Drink and drive Npcs doing acrobatics inside stations like mechanical Cirque de Solie.
.
Waltz music: the disco of its day.

-People who don't read the manual or at the very least google the games basics, then cry about not knowing X
-Npcs that stall in front of the mail slot
-Npcs that can seemingly go 1million c in supercruise and still not overshoot a station
-the RES spawns of either Sidewinder, Eagle, Cobra, nothing else or finally getting a "good spawn" of anacondas, dropships, clippers, that peter out after 10 minutes.
-threads that complain about something, but offer no constructive criticism
-and finally, the Empire getting all the sexy looking ships. (c'mon can't the Feds or Alliance have a ship designer with some taste?)
 
Crackling audio and monstrous lag/judder (mostly in CZ's for me);
People smartly telling unlucky people off because they didn't carry insurance coverage and lost their ship for whatever reason;
The insurance system;
That I don't own a VR setup yet;
Microbrewery craft beer is so damn good;
I am not actually in space, living this game...
Stupid people.
 
-and finally, the Empire getting all the sexy looking ships. (c'mon can't the Feds or Alliance have a ship designer with some taste?)

I hate the imperial design. I hope the feds get more T9-esque ships, ships that look like industrial powerhouses and raw muscle, not hot pink lamborghinis.
 
1. The fact that I can recognise a Hostile/Wanted before my Class A Scanner.
2. Wings in RES pays so little.(Pointless Policing in a group)
3. Novice NPC's have no shields whatsoever.
4. Having to hit ESC to exit Local chat when accessing Comms.
5. Debug camera cannot take full top down views of larger ships.
6. Recent lack of decent ship skins and decals. (take my money dammit!)
 
I am the only kid in nebraska that plays this game
Math
no in-system jump
not knowing the price of the diamondback
CODE
no planetary landing eta
4 year olds playing CoD
Communist China
North Korea
 
The last 20 seconds or so of a supercruise. This is the part of the game way I find myself questioning my sanity for playing.

IKR.

Super cruise should be automated, we have auto pilots in the 20th century, I wonder what happened to that technology, why did it get lost???

I wish we could just plug in the location and go look at our galaxy map, the view, facebook etc and take control when the station arrives.. Same with Hyper Drive.

I spend more time in RES sites because at least you should be controlling your ship there.
 
What really grinds my gears is the crowd of people who love generic mmo style gameplay that keep saying this game will die unless we have player controlled stations, the ability to become stupidly powerful and any of the other nonsense this crowd has spouted in these forums.

1) People that think that just because you do not enjoy playing a game the same way they do, that you are somehow inferior.
2) People that think that just because you are not as good as they are at a game, that somehow your opinion on said game is somehow invalid or less applicable.
3) People that always want to force THEIR way of playing a game onto YOU, or to lock you out of the game (or portions of it) if you do not play it their way.
4) Corporations are people. I'll believe that one when Texas executes one.
5) Lawyers, Politicians and salespeople.

I was agreeing with your post until the fifth point... what do you have against lawyers ? :)
 
And I forgot one
