Over time on these forums I have seen a lot of talk about elites lack of deeper content, and while I would be among the first to scream yes if frontier said they were completely overhauling the mission system and background sim,
I think the people who criticize and talk like it would be so easy to fix all of Elite's problems and the only reason Frontier isn't doing it is because they have no plan or something should take a step back first and look at what
Frontier has achieved first. Since one of the major gripes people have is Elite is an unfun grindfest I will address this first, I just got done playing Elite for 30 ish hours in the past week and I have made over 250 mil having fun
doing the one of the most profitable things in the game, bhing with ALD rank 5 bonus. I say that all this was fun because of two things that are important to every aspect of Elite that Frontier had to get right before they could
worry about anything else, the hud which you see all the time and the flight model which you both constantly use. These two essential mechanics are the best I have seen in any space game, and for the hud maybe any game, it is
intuitive gives lots of info, not too intrusive and rewards those who know how to use it effectively, this goes for the flight model too, it is near perfection, and very fun and rewarding once you get skilled with it. So yes I was
doing the same old "grind" for 30 hours this week, but everytime I blew up a pirate, I felt rewarded and had fun doing it, and the beautiful rings in this game make it all the more rewarding. This game is stunning, and landing on
planets looks like it will be even more breathtaking. Also while some people have some really cool ideas about how to improve depth, I don't think they realize the difficulty to implement. I want improved gameplay and fixed
bugs and such just as much as the next CMDR, but sometimes when people talk like FD doesn't know how to make a good game, they overlook way too much, like the hud, flight, combat, pvp, the entire explorable galaxy, and
much more that Elitehas accomplished. Keep up the great work FD, I know you will keep making this awesome game better.
