I saw a game called "Bass Fishing".. there wasn't one single beer in it, not one!
No motivation to go on.

Not upset, it's just a game. Been playing it for almost 2 years, got my moneys worth. My kids would get upset about games. Just stating facts. I bought into SC now that I could get upset about.
Thanks dude. I'm having a great time with this update, and because my reputation with one station is super good I'm earning a small fortune just with delivery missions. Everybody has a voice now, Verity, the station announcer, the flight controller, Astra. It's great !
Flimley
You know what the real problem is? This game isn't advertised as linear, but it is, and people don't like that.
After the 2.1 update I'm seeing a lot of people saying that they can't do what they were doing before, or that some of the new things are too hard and that frustrates them. Well, you're just looking at it wrong.
Here's a very cut and dry example. I log into WoW for the first time. I'm level 1. I see that I have to be lvl 100 (or something, I really don't play the game) in order to get the best gear. Then I go, "This game is too hard! It's going to take me a long time to get what I want!" and then quit.
Except nobody does that that actually wants to play the game because there's a clear outline of realistic goals to achieve. They know they have to put one foot in front of the other to get somewhere. The problem is that with ED, they just go, "Here's ALL THE THINGS" whether we're ready for them or not, and when we go for the thing we shouldn't we get and say the game is too hard. Play within your currents means of time, effort and money and you'll have a good time. If you don't, then sounds like you don't like this game.

I get it you still go around in a Sidewinder, do you ? If not, imagine people starting now that will not be able to complete missions cause they get interdicted all the time, have you tried kill missions yet ? please try a few , then come back and tell me how fair it is to get stalked all the time, I had to play a mission for 1 hour and targets didn't spawn, I got interdicted many times by an Anaconda, I only could kill 2 targets , 1 of which wasn't counted and Anaconda spawned right when I was firing on the third one, note it wasn't even on wing with target, just a random stalker. I'm ok with the new AI but addings stalkers during missions just make missions last excessively longer than before, while rewards are the same, more grind, less fun, it's not a good trade off, but of course there are still ppl like you who are still in Sidewinder so they are ok if the others have to grind to get better stuff ...
where is that place?i couldnt find location of soontil relics,can you help?
Cheranovsky city, Ngurii system.
Replace soontill with meta-alloy and you have pretty much my exact story.
Except I jumped 23 systems only to find out that the system is 'out of stock'.

Mark your missing what I am saying... I was in beta, while in beta I was destroyed constantly because I am not good. the key to Elite is to remember Elite doesn't care who you are, it is not Dragonage where you are the Hero... in Elite you are just supposed to be some pilot and you forge your own trail. there is no galactic evil to defeat. Elite Dangerous is supposed to kick your butt. and now it does
there is a "difficulty slider" in the game... it's called security level and found in the description of the systems. just stick with high sec systems and gain some reputation, and you won't have any problems.
the greatest change we got with 2.1 is that we finally have to use our brains!
Well hazardous should really mean harzardous. Have you tried going in with a few wingmen? Also, whats wrong with Hi intesity?
But you've highlighted the problem.. farming
Sorry dude but the gravy train is over
Doesn't sound like it in all honesty.
Why?
Sorry to point this out but I think you are playing the game wrong. For best experience we should be enjoying the journey, not setting ourselves credit targets. Sounds like you are making the game a grind for yourself. What's the rush?
No offense and all but the problem is you, not the game. For far too long folks have amassed vast riches with little effort and facerolled the game. Ironically I think this leads to burn out and what you gonna do when you have what your heart is apparently set on? Nothing to do from the sounds of it.
Learn to smell the roses and feel the wind through your hair
I take it from the rebuy costs its a large ship your flying. Go back into a smaller more maneuverable ship and A fit it, then develop your piloting skills as you haven`t got the ability for what you are flying. This way you learn and have lower rebuy in the process.

its nice to see everybody cry because they cant deal with a more challenging experience. You actually have to think about how you engage your opponents and not just hold the reverse S key.

I'm gonna be so dissapointed if Frontier cave into this.. I get the impression its the same folks complaining who moan about PvP.. [sad]
Yeahh but getting interdicted 3 times a minute is just frustrating, you escape or fight once, you enter sc again to try to find your mission targets, 30 seconds, interdicted again, same as before, boost or fight, enter sc, getting interdicted again within the next 30 seconds... LOL You understand my point ? I'm ok with AI being as good as it is now, I love the challenge but getting interdicted every second is stupid and frustrating, it should be toned down by a good degree, interdicted once in a while is ok, stalked every second is just frustrating even if I'm good enough to face my opponents, I never died in beta, I've always kicked the npcs anyways even if I had to change tactics ... no problem with that, my point is how other npcs stalk you or spawn on you while in a fight, that has to be toned down to me
Best post I've read all day, lol. FD's cruelty knows no bounds. No, I am not being sarcastic. lol
I dunno where you are but I've never got interdicted so often. In fact I haven't yet been interdicted since the game went live. Where are you playing?
yes this is what I said it is good advice
I'm all for challenge. I'm not in favour of unfun frustration. I have a job for that.
