Whilst I agree with you I have to say that there are times when I really appreciate the 'soft' galaxy. If I'd had a really bad day the the 'soft' galaxy is just what I want.
Fortunately, bad days don't happen that often.
What the heck is wrong with all the whiners on here?

They still pop up they seem rarer but with much bigger payouts, 20 million is not unusual for one. You need to be allied to get it though.
I agree with you, I don't want some hardcore nightmare of a galaxy either.
I've been asking for places for each group to go. Basically make the security rating of a system matter. Alot.
Anarchy should be incredibly dangerous, and high security should be incredibly safe.
Map filters can now be used to avoid these areas.
Basically, this should be suicide;
My Python has just 320mj of shields and no weapons, and was carrying 180t of rare goods.
But instead I was completely ignored. Lol

This QFT, you think this is player driven narrative?? HAHAHAHAHA
Only because I wasn't there. My Viper and I would have made our demands for 8 tonnes of cargo!
Ah, whining about whining. Shall we have a subforum for that too?
They come out to the forums and start threads posting drivel and passive aggressive criticisms of a portion of the community in the hopes of distancing ones self from said community.
Nobody is mad at FDEV for what they have provided the community. People are mad about the state of the community as a whole and the consistent ducking of fixing the issue.
Finally after 2.5 years they are going to try and make this game believable. The first tiniest step is the introduction of the Pilots Fed Bounties and ships tied to the crime.
We have idiots right this very moment blowing up parked ships at the Alien crash sites and for what purpose I might ask? These people take possibly the greatest thing that has happened in this games story to this moment and are ruining the experience. They are taking you out of your game and are making you play theirs. Collaboration outside of Private groups and the forums is nigh impossible because they have allowed these people to play.
Most other games up to and including the newest PVP game PUBG have banned accounts entirely for the actions that FDEV have allowed to go on for the last 2 years.
The salt that is being thrown by this community is very very justified and correct but dont think that we dont appreciate the game. We do. We just dont agree with how and when things were and are being addressed. Too much focus spent on the wrong things and whatnot. They are all valid concerns of a very invested and passionate community.
Well, if I go to the crash sites I'll blow up parked ships too and disrupt any other human activity I find near the Thargoids. Space Fauna is precious and needs to be protected. All the ogling going on at those sites is an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. It's not a national park, it's a pristine wildlife reserve and I for one applaud the efforts of the brave commanders trying to keep it as such.

Perhaps we should also define what constitutes whining.
We can subdivide the definition into categories.

You saw the video. You didn't experience the frustration of flying 7 or more hours flying throttled down in supercruise doing LITERALLY NOTHING but watching for a USS to appear so you can get one of the keys necessary to experience what is basically a cool cutscene. It's the typical FDEV thing - "content" that is really cool in concept, but so frustratingly poorly executed that it makes some people stop playing the game.
Go ahead, I want to read that.
Angry much?
What are you talking about mate, narrative and story are between the best things fdevs are better at.
If you don't enjoy grinding, then don't.
If you don't like the game play something else.
The grind doesn't exist, you have to play the game my way, the right way, that is randomly do stuff aimlessly and with no goal in mind until stuff happens to you.

Please don't tell me how to enjoy the game. I understand that there is no grind if you choose not to partake in it. But if you do want to see the inside of the Thargoid base, you need to acquire an Unknown Probe. The only way I know of to get an unknown probe is to wait at certain locations until the USS pops up, and that can take hours or days.
I'm well aware that there are other things I could do in Elite. But this particular this is so heavily RNG as to be past the level of absurd IMO. I *COULD* stick my head in the sand, pretend there isn't a problem there and go do one of the many other things there are to do in the game - or I could point out the flaw and hope they fix it. My real issue though is that I don't think they will fix it. They seem to be going in the direction of more grindy new features, not less.
Get someone to drop you one when they are finished with it. Zero grind or RNG involved.
Aww mate, you're talking to one of the black sheep of this forum, resident in the blocked user list of half the people in here and sniped + banned from the reddit, all these achievements simply for speaking up and telling uncomfortable truths at uncomfortable times
I should have written a big /s at the end of my post, my bad.
Odd, I've spent thae last few days solving audio encrypted messages, seeking out new alien sites, and having more fun than I think I have done over the last 12 months.
In this particular case, if you can't be bothered to put the effort in, you really won't get any enjoyment out of it. The story is still unfolding, the pieces are not all in place and there is much to be done. And there is no shooting involved. Except at something hanging from tendrils. But that's always allowed

And yet for days one of the top posts on reddit was a meme about searching for UPs. It almost as if layered rng based gameplay can have wildly divergent results from player to player.
