Fully agree with the OP, jealous of the guy with the ribeye's, and just hit 45. . o7
I really don't understand the condescending remarks. Having a bad day? It was an honest question, and i pointed out that there is content locked behind grind. Anyway, the analogy with kids is broken, too.
I agree, I bought ED on the Xbox GPP and I'll admit I only played it for a few months before burning out with not knowing what to do and where to go. But then Horizons dropped, and I jumped back in and haven't looked back since. People at work complain that it's all I ever play, and I'm okay with that! Because I enjoy exploration and dedicating myself to assisting my faction, learning about combat and investigating alien life. Mining is an amazing stress reliever, and passenger missions are always there when my credit balance gets too low. I love this game, and I'm excited for whatever comes next

I have beta access. But that was not the point. I want to 'earn' these ships. My problem is that the only way to 'earn' these ships is by doing repetitive stuff for a long time, aka grinding.

Thanks OP for a bit of fresh air. On the same boat myself, and having had the best time so far. Though I do hear the disappointed ones too.
Why is it the disappointed ones have to attempt and prove the game is a failure is beyond me.
But I guess it works both ways and threads like this one wont convince the doom and gloom army.

I think the problem is that you're seeing these as short-term attainable goals*, when they're probably more intended to be long-term eventual ones. It took me two years to buy an Anaconda, but I was never specifically playing with that in mind.
* apologies if this is not the case.
I don't, but no problem. Been paying this game since premium beta with long breaks. I started a new commander a year ago, since my main commander is in colonia (and i don't do suicidewinder). I would acknowledge that you can get the naval ranks in time. But G5 thrusters? You have to specifically aim for that and work hard for a long time to unlock palin, and then you need to get him to G5.

Good fer you op, so refreshing to hear yer enjoying the game...Im enjoying the game immensely too. Not this game mind, but a game certainly...
I've only unlocked the first three Engineers, so my thrusters are G3 only at the moment. But for my game style that's fine.
What is it you need to do to get Palin?
Can't have your cake and eat it.
There are essentially four ways to get in a big ship.
1. Play the game the way you like until you have the cash and rank required. This may take a very long time.
2. Grind hard doing repetitive but effective tasks towards your goal. This takes less time, but still quite long.
3. Grind by using the best current exploit. Much quicker than option 2.
4. Test in beta and realize that point 2 and 3 aren't worth doing.
1. Get MARTUUK to grade 3-4 to discover MARCO QWENT.
2. Become allied with Sirius Corporation to meet him.
3. Provide 25 units of Modular Terminals to unlock him.
4. Rank up with him to grade 3-4 to discover PALIN.
5. Attain a maximum distance from your career start location of at least 5,000 light years to get an invite.
6. Provide 25 units of Unknown Fragments to unlock him.
7. Rank him up to grade 5.

Can't say I disagree, I find the abusive tone of some of the posts and the derisory comments levelled at the developers to be far beyond what should be expected of the consumer and far beyond what should be expected of a forum contributor. I have a pretty low bar with what regards "constructive" posts, weighing in an opinion without insulting someone is all it takes, yet so many of the forum's users cannot even manage to do that. Every post they make offers a thinly veiled insult at people who, from all accounts, pour their hearts and souls into their work.
Most of what I desired for the game has been added in Frontier's own unique way and I can't say that all of the decisions appeal to me. Some of the introductions have been quite unappealing in fact, but the base game that I bought, is still in here and I still enjoy it immensely, particularly alongside the introductions and changes that do appeal to me and that have made the game more interesting at the surface level (e.g. putting faces on mission givers or adding voices to traffic control).
Landing a ship - FA OFF - above a new world, or on it, is a feeling that never gets old. This is why I'm waiting with baited breath for them to expand the possible planets we can land on and environments we can see while doing it.
I think the best way to enjoy Elite is to "chill out". Space is not a place where things can be rushed; it cares not about the birth and death of stars and cares less on the petty trials and whims of man. Space is chill... be like space.

As far as I can tell you want a Cutter and a Corvette and you want it now. Because you want it. That's not a very compelling argument. Why do you think the game should give you the best ship without any effort? Wouldn't that be the same (or at least similar) to skipping all quests in Skyrim and jump to that stupid dragon? I'm not sure if Bethesda should listen to me when I tell them to remove all that nonsense from the game because I just want to kill that dragon.

I think a variety of play styles is the way to go.
The mats for engineering were just sat in my hold,I have no idea where most of them came from.

These posts crack me up. You enjoy the game? Good for you, so do I. Doesn't mean the game doesn't have problems and issues, some of which are glaring which FD have finally noticed (and I really believe only because of Steam/forum reviews/comments).
So go stuff yourself mate, me praising FD is me giving them my money. Until then they'll get my constructive feedback on what they need to do to make that money from me continue. If that makes me a member of the "doom and gloom army" as mentioned above, so be it!
