Needed Immediately

[DragoonKnight]

Simply do what landing on the planet. And a lot easier than doing inside the station or the shooter or the atmospheric planets landing.
Yes, it's not very easy to do. However, it is necessary to do now, because at the moment this part of the game LOST most.
Many of my friends are talking about the fact that the elite have nothing to buy except for ships and their equipment for this reason that the game turns into an empty grind for grind in the future.



If we were discussing a spacecraft simulator, I would not write anything here. And this game, I would not have bought. This space sandbox and then expect that there are in the GTA or Sims is quite normal.
If you are satisfied that there are working more than space battles this does not mean that it is convenient for everybody.

You knew what this game was when you bought it. There are many reviews online. Not one of them mentions anything about decorating living rooms.
If you wanted GTA or Sims then you should have bought GTA or Sims.
Elite has always been about flying space ships. Elite is a sandbox for spaceships, not living rooms or people.

FLEET: Sidewinder, Imperial Eagle, Cobra MKIII, Cobra MKIV, Imperial Courier, Vulture, Federal Assault Ship, Imperial Clipper, ASP Explorer, Fer-De-Lance, Anaconda - It's just your style of play, not to impose it on others.

If you are interested in buying all the ships in the game, this does not mean that all this is necessary.
I'm sure that right now you're grind at a corvette. Many are engaged in a game other activities (research, trade, etc.) for themselves and not what would then show its fleet as you do.
Only here there is no place to spend money than to it. Therefore, in the game, and few other people, and there are many people like you.

This is a game about space ships. It is about flying space ships. All the ships in my fleet have something unique and interesting about them. If flying space ships is not interesting to you then this is the wrong game for you. If you do enjoy flying spaceships then try flying different spaceships.

We need for FD to focus on developing the crafting system, multicrew, things to do on planets, and atmospheric landings. Developing interior decorations is very low priority in comparison.

There are things to spend money on in this game, but sadly they do not interest you. Yes, right now I am grinding for a Corvette. I already have the rank for a Corvette and can afford it, but I decided to raise my rank with the Empire and purchase the Cutter first. It will help me make money quicker than the Anaconda. I only have 500 Million credits so far and this may seem like a lot to some, but I would like to earn more. Even if I had 1 Billion credits I could find fun ways of spending them.

If you are bored then wait a few weeks for Engineers (patch 2.1) to come out. There will be more things to do and more things to spend your money on.

Most people bought ED so they could fly around in space ships. Not decorate living rooms. Then there are people like you.

It's just the intended style of play. Do not steal dev time just because you don't find the game you bought fun.

Infinite space is not all that people need. Many people have already written about the fact that this space blank. A simple example of what I mean is "Star Citizen".
There is already hangar and customization. And after the SC has collected 75 million + does not need to write that people need only space and ships it.
I am sure all of what I write will be implemented in 2017-2018, but I've highlighted the part Kotuy need to do more and do not as hard as some other features.

There is far more important things to do right now than to meet your 'wanting'
And unless you are from frontier and you yourself say its a simple thing to implement, you don't know what you are talking about, so just stop there.

I'm a developer and I know what I'm talking It is very necessary for the game IMHO. And it is easier to make than many other GLOBAL things. I think this should stop hitting on me.

you're right, it is very important and would like to update these more updates

 

[vulkman]

Oh well, to me this is pretty firmly placed in the "nice to have" department. May be part of the "space legs"-feature, but that's probably only coming with season 3 and that's ok as there are more important things to do first.

The content of your post is absurd. I'm the president of the united states and I know what I'm talking about when it comes to absurd.

No. I'm sorry. That one app you wrote for your computer class doesn't make you a developer. A customizable living room is not especially easier than anything else they're working on. I'm sure there's plenty of more people who would prefer large multi-cannons over a customizable living room.

 

[Father Christmas]

It's not that I don't want a customizable cabin area in my FDL, especially if I get to entertain elite lady cmdrs there... and if this was part of the game, maybe I'd love it! But maybe I wouldn't. However I know I'd like more huge hard point options. Or how about a new long range ship optimized for quick (and satisfying) travel times in populated systems rather than exploring deep space? And as long as we're creating a shopping list give me a modular ship for the multicrew update that can separate into 2-3 individual ships for dogfights, but need to recombine into a single unit for FSD jumps.

 

[MickyG1982]

The pilot has their own room, it's right up front where the action is...

In this topic, I would like to discuss any ways to spend the money, except for those that are already in the game right now. Living room on the ship is just an example.


Part of the game about ships, their purchase and modernization of good worked out (in the future they can make it even better). Now, it is desirable to devote time to other ways to spend money.


Coming soon update about the mission and so on. But ways to spend money is not added. Drink nowhere, nothing to buy, do not invite the girls even more comfortable chair in the ship did not buy

Actually I'm pretty sure all of the game is about ships/vehicles and the actions you take within them. I don't recall seeing 'living room decorator' next to 'cutthroat galaxy' when the game was pitched.

You want to spend money? Do so as the game intended: through things like insurance, experimental builds, etc. Or, better suggestion, stop thinking the game is about money.

I think someone mentioned, there'll probably be some money sinks through engineers.

"Star Citizen" though he still did not come out. (GTA)

Living room and customization is just an example. You can think of a lot more ways to spend money.

 

[DHMeyer]

You can spend your money on me, if you'd like. I can happily accept an odd 200 tons of Palladium and even repeat as many times, as you'd like You'd be doing a good, charitable deed, that has to be so much better than some petty material possessions, right?

As for the living room on the ship, I have one and it's called cockpit. Very cozy, great views from the window and I can even change location at will. You can also decorate it if you'd like, Frontier sells several otherwise useless pixels which have this purpose.

However it would be nice to be able to pimp your ride with ingame credits, personally I don't think it adds much to the gameplay. On the other hand things like more interesting missions, ability to have a crew (NPC or player one) onboard of your ship, hire a wing of fighters to protect you during trading runs or craft custom ship modules or leave the cockpit and wander about your ship or stations... That's something that would add quite a bit to the depth of ED. That's something I would prefer to see way more than an aquarium or a fluffy armchair on my ship.

Considering the OP's country of origin, he has probably had enough of communism for a lifetime and will not be giving away anything anytime soon.

Owww... That's a shame then
I would make a perfect money sink. Can even send postcards from various places in the galaxy to show how well I'm using the credits

​Of course I prefer to spend money on themselves like most people.

 

[Hooplah]

You are looking for a faster ascension then what you seek. It's not going to happen.

 

[SenX]

wander about your ship or stations....

it is a good idea, but the study of the interior of the station seems to be more complex and ambitious task than the interior of the ship.

 

[DHMeyer]

It's not that I mind players being able to decorate their ships. For all I care, they can fly with pretty colorful ribbons wrapped around the barrels of the guns. Won't bother me at the slightest.
But the title of the thread is "Needed Immediately". And, in my opinion, this is not the feature that might be needed immediately. I'm totally fine with Frontier giving players this functionality, but I see issues affecting the game's appeal to the players in much more severe way.

As for the ways for players to spend credits, right now we can build a small fleet of vessels with various purposes and that's it. True. I didn't hit the point where I would not know what to do with the money, but I can understand that someone who has had more gaming time may have amassed quite a fortune in credits, has all the ships they wanted plus the ones they didn't want as well, just because. This creates a sort of end game situation, when you can either keep doing what you were doing before and earn more credits, or you can spend your amassed fortune on the activities currently in game. Personally I would be happy to see ways to build something of your own, to leave some mark on the galaxy, rather than being able to prettify my ships, but of course each player can have different preferences.

 

[AKoM]

I don't get where all the hatred in this thread comes from, but I do however get the request.

Granted a bunch of the ships don't justify having a room except the cockpit, but that is because of size. The combat-designed ships are mostly Cockpit with engine and weapons anyway.

I find it really unrealistic that the larger ships, that have two, three or more seats in the cockpit has no other place to be. You can't even switch seats.
Of course that will be rectified with multicrew. I would on the other hand enjoy being able to wander around in the larger ships.

Set destination, engage super-cruise, see that it will take 15 minutes to get to the base way out there. Wander back to the observation-deck or something and just look around.
And don't give me "you can look around from the cockpit." I'm talking realism, the pilot isn't nailed to the seat. I mean, the Type 6 has a door behind the pilot-seat, and another door/airlock at the back of the ship.
The Type 9 has an entire interior in concept. Why do that if we aren't allowed to experience it.

My pont would be.
I support the notion of being able to wander the ship, for realism and also to customise the ship. Maybe some part of this will come with multicrew, but I doubt it.
It doesn't need to be a priority, but don't put it off like Eve. They've been talking about that for a very long time now.

Not everybody wants to have its fleet, is enough for me to have a couple of favorite ship.There are other games where you can control the space fleet and for this purpose it is not necessary to grind half of the year.

 

[DHMeyer]

(...) There are other games where you can control the space fleet (...)

Just as there are other games allowing you to decorate your living room. Once again, I am not against the idea. Should Frontier wish to introduce this, I'm totally cool with that.

You focus the OP on this idea, only later you mention it's about introducing more ways of spending money. I do agree there is a need for more ways for spending money and I understand Frontier are working on that as we post. But right now I can't even trade directly with other players or NPCs, I can't fine tune modules of my ships, I can't hire NPCs to fly as my wingmen (I can do that with other players, so I think the NPC option could be implemented too) - those for me would be more desired things to see. You are of course welcome to have different preferences and they are not less valid in any way. But neither mine, nor yours whishlist actually has "needed immediately" flag.
