Imagination Land only goes so far to make a game great. If I wanted to Imagine things I would play Dungeons and Dragons or the Star Wars RPG.
Why are there no MEMERABLE characters? It makes no sense from a designers persective.

Just my ears
What you call fun I call mental torture.
You must have a need to come off as a jerk.
What about the actual point of my post? You know, the part about this game having a different focus? Or that one about how you shouldn't look for the hero plot, because it's been left out on purpose? Or the part about reducing the view of galaxy down the the systems involved in a story arc would limit the scope of the game? For there to be a general antagonist, there needs to be a generalized story. There just isn't.
Enjoy your angst.
I agree with this guy. The bad man said something I DON'T like. He called me a fanboy. BLOCKS every player in the game. lol.
i'm pretty sure the implications of this violate some forum code of conduct rules...
And thats what FD are working on. making games is not magic.
What you are asking for is not lore friendly.
AI is against the law in elite
Sith lord style of characters would make no sense in this universe
And anthropomorphic talking animals would.... not fit in the rebooted universe , maybe in elite 1 but not ED.
Elite dangerous is a universe of politics , corporations ruling over lives , scumbag pirates , and show-rulers.
Its banal nature makes it unique in many ways.
We need more dynamic gameplay , more content. but scripted missions are silly. unless only 1 player can finish them. (because you can only have 1 savior of the galaxy)
I just realised I never saw a picture of Jaques.
Does it exist?
Edit: reach out and touch, somebodies scoop ...

Why am I coming off as a jerk when already know that fanboys will jump on a thread and state the same crap over and over and over and over and over. The game is le perfect. Ze must not change ze game! But I don't feel differing opionons qualify as being a jerk. Must I parrot what other people say to be approved by the clique? The game has some serrious flaws. And constantly as stated before. get this thrown at it. "Wide as an Ocean shallow as a puddle" So let me ask you this why is the idea of Introducing Memorable characters offensive? And for the record. Insult me for not agreeing with you fine. But do you think it changes anything from my perspective. I see a cult/clique I'm new to the game. I have been bored with the game even after doing all the main tasks. Grinding, Smuggling, Bounty Hunting, Trading, Mining. There is just not enough content. What do you suggest no one point at the elphant in the room?
I don't care if everyone circle jerks eachother on the forums the community should welcome new ideas and new players.

Then play a linear 5-10hrs long game.
Not the game thats ment to last 10yrs and simulate the day to day life of a space pilot
Seriously, ease up on the wild exaggerations. Even the fanboys don't claim this game is perfect and must not change.

Nonsense. How do you think the mods became mods? Scoop touching is a glorious past time.
Very few people actually say the game is perfect as is. The more notable forum commenters, who've been here awhile, who've taken part in almost all of the various mechanics the game offers, are very vocal about how the game needs a proper update to integrate and balance what we currently have before we make the mess even bigger.
Your opinion is, of course, your own. I didn't start insulting your differing opinion. I simply made a counter argument. Something you seem to want credit for, but find it impossible to grant to other. You chose to insult me, and dodge the points I made. That's what I think makes you come off as a jerk.
I don;t know why you come off as a jerk. Maybe it's the Caps, or the insults, or.... You go ahead and choose. You will just settle for another method to avoid my points, and pick another well known and overused insult to season your reply.
Alien life on airless worlds? thats not science fiction , thats space fantasy.
What about the brain-trees?
Alien ruins?
The lost?
The generation ships?
What about the Formidine Rift (partialy solved now)
The UA
The Barnicles
The thargoid ships
Thats better than scripted stuff that will be the same for everyone.
Alien life , is planned. when we get worlds with atmosphere.
NPCs that you can talk to is planned
Many things are planned , they just take time
By no stretch was that an exaggeration. Litterally encountered and read over a 100 posts like this.

There are 10 to the power of 24 habitle planets estimated in our galaxy. If .01 percent had life that would be millions of aliens and civilisations.

Quote seven of them.
The crux of Elite is that there is no bad buy.
One persons heroine is another's terrorist. One persons hero is another's griefer.
Are the Empire the goodies, or the Feds or the independents?
Are the Thargoids the enemies or our friends?
Remember you are just 1 CMDR in 100, 1000, 10,000 why is your storyline important, why is mine?
The direction Elite goes is you are a small cog Ina large machine, how you cope with it is down to you.
But having one set of bad guys that good will win out over will not work in this game. Your idea of good I can bet is actually another's idea of bad and they will do their damnedness to wipe that out.

You came off like a jerk. So why are you guys being jerks to new players with new suggestions?
