Has Everything Been Discussed?

[IndigoWyrd]

Game is Great - Game Sucks
Game is too Hard - Game is Too Easy
You Make Too Much Money - You Don't Make Enough Money
They Promised Us Everything - They Promised Us Nothing
I'm Afraid of the Unknowns - I Know I am Unafraid
There Are Known Unknown - There are Unknown Unknowns
I Want A New Thing - I Don't Want a New Thing
I Want an Old Thing - I Don't Want an Old Thing.

A search, a scan, a skim, and you'll find this covers pretty much everything. Have we discusses all there is to discuss?

I love a good discourse on nearly any subject, but even discourse here is difficult at best. Post a topic, get a reply, followed shortly by Let's Talk About The Poster, maybe some moderation, maybe none at all, or maybe the whole thing just gets swallowed up to the very last page and never noticed again.

Or am I just expecting too much from the Forum Community as a whole? Sure, there are few folks who can actually engage in a dialog about nearly anything without degenerating into something only suitable for reddit. and you know who you are - odds are you've been repped by me to my limit.

Or is this all just based on Pace-of-the-Game? Or has everyone evacuated to play the new CoD for the next three days until they realize they're still playing the same CoD as always, it just looks prettier?

I have a new topic to discuss, something I've never seen come up before.

When engaging the FSD to jump to another system, the star information is displayed in the top right panel, but it is only there for a few seconds before it fades. I'd like the devs to lengthen that timer a bit so that it shows all the way through the hyperjump. Often times I'll go to see what type of star I'm jumping to only to see a blank panel because the info has already faded.

There, a new topic. Discuss.

Don't matter if it was already discussed. We can have the same threads about the same topics with the same responses over and over again until the internet crashes once and for all.

Falls into the realm of "I Want a New Thing"
But I don't disagree - it would be terribly convenient for Info Messages to last a bit longer, or be reveiwable after they fade.

A quick scan of he Internet indicates this is already happening - like an outbreak of Grey Goo.

Yeah TBH i'm getting forum fatigue...

There's very little new original stuff posted (here or Reddit), and I continuously get de ja vu feelings before clicking on a topic PvP / PvE / Open threads especially.

Oh and Frontier: where's the Cobra MK4 for PS4?

I'd like new control options - hold or toggle abilities on some of the commands, so you can better utilise certain HOTAS devices for commands like lights, cargo scoops and so on - without having to resort to complicated macros that would take far to long to adapt to my preferred control configuration.

I'd also like the ability to have a hotkey to launch an SLF. We have a hotkey to recall it, after all.

One thing I have never seen discussed it what Elite would look like if we were all tortoises? Like, what the cockpit look like. What would ships looks like, would we make tortoise shaped ships and would they be slow? Would we have beak controllers rather than a flight stick? Would we even bother with inventing supercruise or hyperspace, or think, meh I'll just turn the temp down a bit and go to sleep till I get there. Who knows? I bet you do though.

You hear of the fourth human bubble.. It is at teqo-kx-p. Special prize for anyone who finds the station....

Well, that's new.

Tortossians > Thargoids

Great post.

What if instead of humans flying space ships, space ships flew humans?

Rinse and repeat... With a heavy dose of whine and rampant speculation...

I blame postmodernism.
The basic skills needed are in short supply and we've lost those values of critical discourse.
It's easier to "other" people and use ad hominems than engage the mind.


It used to be fundamental.

Logical fallacies and cognitive biases are the new normal.
I'd suggest getting used to it.

I like turtles, but I think you mean tortoises, since turtles would require a ship filled with water, that sure would be slow. I like tortoises more. There was a wild one (I live in Greece) in the garden of our summer house, but I didn't see it last year.

Did you check the other end of the garden? It might have made it to there.

If it was turtles, and if the ship was full of water (or more importantly, only half full), would the water slosh around in zero g and/or would that cause stability problems?
