Try to back off in that case..
were playing in a sand box game an what fun for you may not be fun so some other player. like i rather fly an A fitted cutter into an star with no money for Rebuy before i go mining.
and there has always been risk in trading unless your using an combat A fitted FDL as your trade ship
Thank you for confirming my original argument (post 14 here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=254585&p=3954068&viewfull=1#post3954068. New players, depending on their play style, can indeed rank up much faster than first generation commanders could. I'll take your 10 times factor, as there is some good evidence for it. However, real skill does not develop any faster than it used to. The newbie will thus be on the wrong side of the skill/difficulty curve at some point, just like many of the casuals complaining here. These people tend to quit, spread bad word of mouth, write condemning reviews and ultimately damage sales for ED.
The real salt will come from the "Git Gud" crowd, when FDev should have to cease game development due to lack of sales or move to a monthly subscription fee.

Though even if the vote stays the way it is currently, it still means that 37.5% of the active playing (paying) punters don't like the way this has gone..
I'm not sure if your are being condescending? Forgive me if you are not but that is how I usually read multiple periods in a row.
I dunno if it's ai doing something to me or the way heat is changed, but I overheated 5 seconds after engaging an npc asp with my own asp ... fired a few volleys of my 4 small burst lasers, instantly got 110% heat, meanwhile my shields were down already, his not even halfway down ... :s
Then I put everything in engine, decided to boostspam out of there ... enemy was faster then me aswell. -_-'

Well sure. I play GTA V. Obviously that game has a much higher chance of getting killed. But I play that knowing and expecting that to be the case. I expect to be killed countless times playing that game. Finding goofy ways to die is part of the fun. Dying also doesn't undo your past couple of session's work at earning credits either.
I don't expect (or want) to have to fear for my life the moment I step outside of a spaceport, especially when I'm not looking for combat. If I'm looking for combat and get blown up, then fine. I was looking for it. There are a lot people who play this game who aren't looking to get in a fight, though, and want to do their own thing. Having to fly around in tanks to just survive is not "fun" for those people.
It isn't simply marketed as play your way though, is it Malc?
You do this quite often, where you slim down what FD say to meet the criteria that forwards your opinion.
This is what you are greeted with on the very first page of the Elite Dangerous website:
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN STARSHIP IN A CUTTHROAT GALAXY.
Not a "whimsical, cotton candy" galaxy. A cutthroat galaxy. That means fierce and intense, according to most dictionaries. Not easy spawn and grind.
When they say play your way it has an addendum:
"Experience infinite freedom as you earn the skill, knowledge, wealth and power to stand among the ranks of the Elite."
Earn the skill, knowledge, wealth and power. Not have it gifted to you. Not turn on Netflix and print credits. EARN it.
This god awful, constant nonsense that is thrown around about "Play your own way" and "Blaze your own trail" is bloody tiresome. The galaxy is supposed to be dangerous, not because it is in the name, not because there are "pew pew lazer crowd". Because they designed it that way. Because Elite has always been that way and hopefully will always be that way.
And how much of this 37.5% are just voting because it's change (and change is bad, no matter what it is) versus those that are trying to honestly adapt and failing?
You'd be surprised at how forcing someone from a comfort zone (farmers) create resistance to change.
People love crying, i will jump into a t-6 and show that you can survive , and profit with any ship....
I hate those I lost my shields in 5 second yada yada, then you look the modules of those people are all D, and the shields are the lowest class possible (RATED D never forget the D), and no weapons, not even a CHAFF...
guess why they die... because AI is WAY MORE INTELIGENT THEN THEN.... go figures...
Really? you played the original Elite? where all you had to do was fly in reverse to win.
Just bear in mind that as of next Friday Xbox will be in sync with PC, and all of the beta testing - all of it - has been done by the PC guys. We don't have HOTAS, VR or head tracking. We have televisions and xbox controllers. And we're all about 90 years oldNope, it's going to get better.Well, needs another balancing pass perhaps, more variety in tactics (to make mid ranks a little easier), and new skills for higher ranks to make them a little less predictable.
Id like to add one thing: if elite is in market ~1.5 years, and its just now(since yesterday) when it is really dangerous, why do you say that elite has always been that way?
Nope, it's going to get better.
That is the nail in the coffin, I am afraid. I can handle the new AI, but many casuals and newbies can't. Sales will suffer as a result, possibly forcing the end of development.
I hope you are proud of that, Mrs. Avory, as you further crank up the difficulty. Good job </sarcasm>

I was just absolutely obliterated by a deadly Gunship in under 5 seconds with 4 pips to Systems and full shields!
Was flying in this Corvette build except with Huge Multi-cannons, https://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_...200p05s5s112d2d2d2b2b29.AwRj4yvZUo==.Aw18Z5A=
I'm all for a challenge but damn, at a loss for words right now after losing 38cr million....

You know what I mean. Clearly I can't have a ship with a 30+ly jump range, and still have it fitted the A rated shields, shield cells, and state-of-the-art weaponry. And I dont intend on starting to explore in a Corvette or a Vulture.
I have found that this is still relevant in this version also, easiest way to kill them.
That doesn't say "you can do whatever you want!" or that you'll get it as easy as you like - it says play your way. which you can - there's no guarantee of how hard it'll be whatsoever there. Sorry.
And I'm complaining about losing 5 million to buy back my Python, I feel for ya.
