Ah, no one should hate for this...this has been the way with commercials for games since video games were created: I'm sure Donkey Kong was a disappointment after seeing a guy being chased by a full scale high res gorilla on the trailer :)

Does anyone disagree with the idea that microjumps should be possible between any 2 points in-system that are > 25KLS apart, or that the distance at which you get dropped out of Supercruise when approaching a station should be a bit longer than currently?

This is probably the way to go: allow safe dropout slightly further away.

Mind you, one of the things I really like about E: D is the way you get a genuine sense of scale: every star system feels enormous because the planets and stations are to scale. It would be a bit of a shame to lose that.

Idea: you can buy a supercruise dropout module as an upgrade that allows dropouts at e.g. 1ls instead of 1000km. This might give the best of both worlds: when playing the game early on you get the sense of scale; later on you can get the gameplay speedup. Like a docking computer, it would also be a tradeoff item: it's nice and convenient, but it takes up a slot in your ship, imposing an opportunity cost on you. Your choice.

I would be happy if they added the in-system jumps that landed you say a hundred or so light seconds from the planetary target; but I'm not sure I'd understand a reason to increase the drop out distance back to normal space. Some ships are very slow, even on boost and that again would be a pointless. The distance it is now is fine.

The increased drop-out distance was for piracy's sake.

Here is a more detailed proposal.

Hilarious, and actually likely to attract the type of players that ED is in fact suited to.

I always felt that this video was 'grossly unhelpful', and possibly responsible for at least some of the <noise> we see on this forum, so anything that corrects that imbalance is very good.

And this is very, very good!
