2.1 looking good.
I've got to say good job.
Every release has its issue and 2.1 has had hardly any.
Yes people got bottoms kicked by the AI. That's exactly what has happend on every release. Power Play got a frak attack. No surprise there. So business as usual for a release.
I didnt get much time to beta test. I just checked that book marks were working and that was enough for me. So I just played it as released.
I combat logged loads against the AI but not players because it was clearly a bit messed up. Just like the crazy interdictions of the last release. A balance pass is or has happened and it's all cool.
There's so much to be loved about 2.1 and FD should be proud of it. The combat has improved against the NPC ships which is a big win. Id like to see a mix of all the releases AIs so we dont just know the pattern ships fly or fight in.
I bought a big gun and down graded my shields and so forth and find it in many ways easier than before with some more sensible behaviours. Im fighting an opponent not just a drone. That feels better.
So power play got messed up. Well rar rar rar I want i want and so on. And yes many want that sorted but hey ho. I dont like sad songs so Im not going to stay in the chorous.
I've been playing ED almost everyday since day one and there's a lot I dont like but there is a darned lot more that I do.
FD reminds me of Melb****ne house and ... hang on other small time publisher from the 80s. It'd be easy to criticse them, sadly far too easy because of the expectations folk have in general. what I've seen so far I've got to say, 'good job' but and here's the but 'sort your shed out!'.
One of the most splendid things that FD have done is make such a complex game totally playable wit h just a stock keyboard and no mouse.
It was tough with this release but hey
