Wondering what the RPG will be like for Elite4 when on foot..

RPGs characters always have an inventory & can buy a backpack etc to carry more stuff..

I was just wondering to what extent will we have out of the pilots seat.. Regarding this.. Still a rpg in or out of the seat..
I wonder if our clothing we can buy will allow us to carry items..
That can be stored on ur ship when back on board..
I hope there is an endless supply of items we can buy weapons, binos, camping equipment.. When on a planet.. If out on a hunt..

Cameras, PDAs, watch, :D tooth brush.. The list is endless

Now when these expansions are made available they will change Elite like we never can imagine!! What u dream it would be like .. Is nothing.. To what it will be like.. When there in game with the right rift on.. Exploring places planets , cities, bars, Barron lands, space stations, the list is just vast..

So I know a'lot of thought & planning has went this aspect of Elite to do it right..
So am hoping they r thinking RPG.. Style with all that can offer when out the ship!!!...

If anyone has read any threads about this please let me know.. Because it's hard finding the right threads that have the info u want....

Cheers :D

If there is threads giving more info on a Cmdr when out his seat.. What he can & can't do?, can he carry items, like weapons, mobile :D
Whatever.. Back pack food on board.. Water..
His health goes if not eating.. Etc RPGs have this..
After all this is a RPG!! But on a vast scale... :D

I still shudder to think how this 'leaving the spaceship' thing will turn out...

If it ends up with most people on a planet fighting green skinned natives with locally made weapons and armour looking for mysterious purple loot in groups of 25 then i'm outta here.

I would rather they didn't do any of that stuff... it wouldn't be Elite if they did

Guys that kind of stuff only adds to the game.. Come on.. They r going to do it right.. Why restrict.. If people want to fly trade fight they can.. But remember it's not just about us.. & what we want.. David wants to this right.. Why give us expansions.. If it's gonna make people moan.. It won't
I am all for realism & the closer Elite evolves to that the better..
I wouldn't mind landing on a planet & admiring everything that was created for our joy!!.. That's what is great about Elite4
It is going to fantastic.. With I hope no limits..

:D

You want to put words in Mr Braben mouth?. I really dont get what your talking about ..

But the fact is: most RPG franchise had turn to crap due to listening to whining no good for nothing players.

Leave it to Braben and co otherwise there always other space RPG on the horizon to choose from.

Good luck with that! :)

Flying down to planets and flying over the landscape sounds great, I'm all for that.

I'm dubious about leaving the ship, but I trust Mr Braben 100% to make the right decision as to whether it happens or not.

I think if it comes in, it will be a long time from now though.

there's been some things discussed, but only vaguely at this point in time.

Like DB mentioning reasons why your ship descends downwards after docking - the need to fit equipment without having people wandering about - potentially being injured.

Kerrash (iirc) spoke about the need to have a valid reason why we can't travel down to planets - something that doesn't break 'immersion'. I can't quite remember what he and Alien concluded as what would be a good reason.

I'm sure that there are other instances where the subject has been spoken about off the cuff, hopes and dreams, how Frontier 'envisages' something, but again, you'd have to expect things are in the very early days of planning at the moment.

other than that, nothing's decided, nothings final. It's good to see that you're passionate about the subject - how about you expand on how the developers could go about it, what they could include etc etc etc.......

Its way too soon to guess what the available items will be at the moment, although I would guess it will just be a variation of clothing and hand held weapons come the time.

DB has said in an old interview that when the FPA comes around he wants things in E: D like visiting a planet for big game hunting, so it does raise the question (nearer the time) of what happens to the trophy (decorating your hangar?), what weapon variations can you use, if you get injured how do you heal yourself, would camping / tracking be involved?

Who knows. :D

Way too soon at the moment, I just hope it doesn't turn into an FPS in space and the focus stays mainly on the traditional Elite aspects :)

What so great about Elite is that you cannot play two or more boxing a skill base playability game.

That what we called a skill. And this is the one I'm looking for!. :smilie:

Just throwing this in to the ring, I can see something along these lines on a reduced scale maybe?

The Outsider

The Outsider is a true 'next generation' game focussed on a fresh, evolved gameplay experience, delivered with gorgeous graphics and built with key proprietary Frontier technology.


A unique player experience

Abandoning the prescriptive, mostly linear story of current generation games, The Outsider stimulates characters' motivations in an immersive, dynamic world and storyline. This gives the player genuine freedom to change the story outcomes in a way not seen before - each player will get a truly unique,
sophisticated experience.

Interesting, did not know about Outsider was another Braben & Frontier in the making game. It was slate for 2009 but delayed.

“With this new approach all the characters exist in the game from the start, and their future actions are not pre-determined - their involvement can be pre-empted by the player, making for some interesting gameplay mechanics second-guessing what is going on, and novel replay value. If you're a contrary gamer like me, who is always wanting to go down the side route, to shoot the character giving the long speech-to-camera, to do the unexpected, then this is the only way forward.“ - Braben

Rockstar eat yer heart out!. :D

Also, to assist others, help with searching, stay on topic and to even find this thread again (in a week or a year) I recommend a thread subject line that includes specifically what your thread is about. Including keywords others would use in a search (ie. planet landing out of ship RPG, etc.) would help me and I'm guessing others too? Thanks!
