I think we should test that :-D
Cmdr. Braben
will there be something done about the current combat meta-gaming that has been seen over and over again, say such as limiting hull reinforcements, shield boosters and scbs to one internal/module slot per ship, or maybe an over haul of the SCB system entirely? i posted on a previous thread that i would like to see a Tune-able Supercharger for Capacitors, also only one slot allowed per ship but would allow Cmdrs. to build their vessels around their playstyles, be it for speed/firepower/shield and or system strength and integrity.
This has become a rampant problem for players who cannot afford to play as much as others or just arn't interested in following the herd. I would greatly like to see something to this extent implemented in the future. thank you for your consideration.

hello david,
are there any plans for more detailed pilot statistics? i feel that our current statistics dont really flesh out what we have been doing in the game, for instance, we get a total number of kills, but no distinction between player kills and npc kills or ship classes etc or most npc faction killed etc, are there any plans to beef our player statistics? this goes for trading (most traded commodity as example) smuggling (most smuggled commodity as example) exploration and mining aswell, all the statistics really need fleshing out to give the player more details on what they have done in the galaxy

Rivalries between Powers' followers have injected a much needed sense of danger into the game for PP players. Are there any plans to add this dynamic behaviour to non-Power NPCs? Anarchies are currently about as scary as a yoga class in a retirement community. It would be nice to be aggressively pursued by pirate factions whose members you have been bounty hunting, or be pursued as a trader by NPC pirates as energetically as human CMDRs interdict you when entering Lave with a load of rare commodities.

I was thinking scooping them up and selling them as slaves ;-) but shooting them.
Yes I could see that happen.

Dear David
I strapped a home made HMD to my motorbike helmet for a more immersive experience. Should I get out more?

How long until someone thinks of coating their ships completely in mirrored surfaces? Therefore rendering themselves completely immune to laser fire.
The two ships are quite different, even though they share some components. They will count separately.
Omg omg omg omg YES! Oh please let it cost many millions and be awesome!
Will you add a mode to the tutorial where we can freely test weapons and equipment and train with them, instead of having to buy and learn playing with them online?
Dear DB,
TYVM re: DBE (cf. DBS). But OMG, 2 many things called DBs?

Freeholm should be an asteroid station. Anyone been to check it out?
Heh the Lynx Bulk Carrier :

Hi David,
Will there be a way for us to see all the systems that we were the first people to have discovered it?
How long do you believe there will be content added to ED before another project is started?
Thanks for all the hard work and an amazing game thus far!!!

But mirrored hulls will not stop kinetic impacts.
Hi David.
NPCs tend to carry very different cargo to players, usually low value goods that are not worth pirating.
Have you considered basing NPC cargo on what local players are hauling?

Dear Mr. Braben.
Now that the Power are in place, does that mean we will see large scale space battle involving multiple capital ship, support ship and so on, if things gets real ugly between powers ?
Do the Powers will ultimately push the major or super factions to the bring of war ?
Why not stronghold in space to capture/destroy (pirates nest, rebels hideout, etc)?
About exploration.
Do you think we will see in the future, some new exciting thing to discover ?
Why not become some kind of prospector to find some really nice mining spot and sells the data to major mining corporation.
We could help to set-up an industrial scale mining operation far away from the human bubble.
