My game does have a delay when launching.
It's calling being an old piece of crap PC.

Should ED start instantly when launched or should there be a delay?
- Thread starter Reina Kaede
- Start date
Launching the game is a pain, it should instantly be whatever I want it to be.
Because me.
Gag might have worked better if ED wasn't actually one of the slowest launching games. From icon click to START button availability takes ages. My whole machine boots faster. Maybe it's different on the XBone.
Still, it did make me smile, so a +1 is deserved for that at least.

Recently I updated my drivers, which sadly disabled this feature for me. Now the preparing shaders delay is reduced to just a couple seconds.
Glad you do, I don't.
no, your cold start would be 26K if you are not sleeping in a Coriolis Inn. Too cold for me when I am out.

No, the whole argument about instant ship transfer breaking immersion was stupid in a game based in the future, in space, using make believe technology to travel around and dogfight at Gs that should kill our pilots. That sir is silly
CMDR, have you considered a short self imposed delay, perhaps before launching your ships at the start of any given Elite session? You may choose to close your eyes for a moment with finger poised on the mouse button or trigger, or alternatively perhaps a meditative session of a given length?
In this way all CMDRS could choose there own level of immersion and realism in the game through meditation and a modicum of self control

I actually like the current start up time.
In my opinion, a longer one would be unrealistic and hence undesirable.

I never considered the instant messages to be breaking the rules, since we can fly over 1,000 times the speed of light in a ship, how fast can we transfer signals? 100,000 times? Perhaps the signal can be bounced off Nav Beacons, so ship to ship messaging service would be only very slightly delayed due to this, which it IS now. The messages takes a few seconds up to 1 min to appear now, depending on server lag.
With all this 'telepathic control' stuff, perhaps we communicate with instant Telepathy like in the Firefox movie with Clint Eastwood?

Haha. 5 year old pc with old fashioned spinny disc style hard drive. No instant startup, practically or otherwise, for me
Delay on transferring ships FTW!!
I think it's possible re-enable the first time controller check list procedure.
