My list of problems with Elite as it is now! and i think everyone will agree with me

1) Being able to leave dock without restocking my limpet, when anyone with half brain could see that I needed them for mining!

2) cargo scoops... not being able to jump without having to hammer my cargo scoop button 10 time because it warn out and not working right. come on FD sort it out.

3) Having to pick between cargo rack and hull reinforcements.. REALLY! it's only a few lines of code to let me have more internal spaces.

4) that dam cargo scoop again! why do I have to have it deployed to collect cargo... It just a pointless time skin!

5) Missions! really, I have to do them to get the reward? an another time sink. They can see I could easily do a mission, so let skip the time wasting and just give me the reward!

6) fuel, seriously! its the future, why are we still using fuel?

dont worry, its not all complaints, i have some cool ideas on how to make Elite better.

We have a docking computer, so the tech is in game lore, so i was thinking about adding a few more modules:

- Nav computer, It will take you from system to system, do the super cruise bit and then dock you.

- trading computer, it will auto buy and sell across a preset route (maybe with combat logion option so you don't get blown up while afk)

- combat computer. depending on its class will depend on the rank it simulates. that way i can just turn it one and go and make a cuppa :)

- Exploration computer. Just set you final destinations and lt it do all the scanning an fule scooping.

I think these ideas will save me a lot of time in game, and improve it for everyone. Please feel free to praise my ideas, or you'er just haters.

(before you go to crazy, i know its not April first, but mining does strange things to you :p)
 
All good ideas. I also think FD should introduce the concept of an Elite 'driveatar' like in Forza motorsport, where a virtual copy of your pilot becomes an NPC when you log out of the game, and continues to make credits 24-7 when you're asleep. Oh, and increase your navy ranks too...
 
On point 1, which is a very important point having fallen for it many times, if you ask EDDI to run pre-flight checks it will pick up on the situation where you have a controller but no limpets and let you know. Unfortunately it doesn't check to see if you've remembered your mining lasers...

Genius! I see a job opening up for you in their dev team any day now.
 
1)Fair enough
2)Your fault the button is worn out not FD (unless I have misunderstood this)
3)Eh
4)Eh
5)What? you need to do work to get money!
6)Because if there is no fuel then there is no way of propelling your ship!


Edit: I like how long it took me to realise it wasnt a serious post :p We have too many serious posts around here!

This made me smile, then I stopped smiling. Maybe this person is working on a higher level. i'm in to deep >< [wacky]

I think you missed one..
- Mining computer. Just set the ores you want and it will do the scanning and mining for you while you enjoy your cuppa.
;)
 
I agree with OP 112% percent. Having to play the game is a horrible grind. I mean, come on, why do I have to move a joystick every time I need my ship move.

Why can't I just sit inside the station and fire limpets out the door? This whole "fly the ship to the destination" thing is getting old.

Wow! that is inspired thinking. Get someone to make you a cuppa, you deserve it (i know, having to ask someone to do it, phft)
 
What about the Devs coming up with a thought transfer hat so that we can get someone to make the tea (or coffee) just by thinking 'I need a cuppa'.
 
What we need is a space based version of this...
Progress Quest
Still available and perfect for those of us that simply don't have time to do all the annoying grinding :)
