There is something off about the on going development that even FD seem to be capable of acknowledging (although not some posters here) and hopefully season 3 will go some way to righting it.
They tried to do too much which ended up very delayed and delivering too little. To see that doesn't make you a hater.
The "YOU JUST HAVE BAD IMAGINATIONS" as an excuse for half baked season 2 development (for which they took money in advance, I'd like to remind those "omg y r u here moaning about it" posters, they took money in advance and then couldn't deliver on time or to the extent they wanted), is just comical. Me forging a great imagination by playing over 30 years of Dungeons and Dragons is not an excuse for the under cooked mess we got with PP and MC.

.... or it is entirely consistent with their stance regarding direct PvP being entirely optional in their game.
An added risk of an encounter - as there may be encounters with NPCs - yes. Whether the encounter itself proves to be "risky" is another matter entirely due to the many variables.
Wow, this is like, worst reply towards gaming theory ever.
ther eis no guarantee you are always same efficient, therefore having the same multiplier is ill applied. Thats the truth.

There's no guarantee that two players in the same ship, in the same system, on the same side, in the same game mode, on the same platform are equally efficient either - yet they receive the same multiplier.
Agreed. One player is interdicted by an NPC, the other isn't.
How is that fair. [cry]
Instancing and P2P considered, this is actually a really good point.
Maybe the people who do Powerplay in smaller ships should get a much bigger incentive/reward too as they put themselves at more risk then the people in bigger ships.

That's before where the players are in the world, time of day, quality of internet connection, friends lists, Wing membership or block lists otherwise influence the matchmaking system.
Thats another ill logical thing you do. I cannot even describe how broken your basic logic is. There is randomness, which is out of a players control. And there is palyer controlled randomness. I can actively choose not to roll, on interduiction and blocked landing pads. This making it always more efficient to go solo over open. The other rolls, like misisons and wahtever are not within the players control. Buit thats the same dice thrown no matter of open or solo. it is therefore not a decision the player can even consider. Choice is what you can affect actively. And by choice open is either the same or less efficient depending ont he rolls of the various dices.
please avoid gambling in any kind of luck based games, you would make inferior choices with your logic.

With even more for on offer for those in un-engineered ships....

And the people who do Powerplay in the evenings should get a bigger reward too, because there is more players online.
Come on, doing Powerplay during the day when not many are on is kind of cheating, isn't it? [yesnod]

Isn't the Beyond update designed specifically to address the issue of professions in Elite being rather one-dimensional?
edit: And does every thread need to degenerate into: make Powerplay only for Open snowflakes, because a few posters seem to think this will create world peace and be the end of starvation on Earth?

That's my point - Open can be just the same as the other two modes.
Supposedly, yes.

Ugh, yeah let's not even get into the Horizons vs Vanilla debate... another of FD's biggest mistakes.
gasp: yeah I know, i just voiced criticism, OMG!)
that is why "empty" space feels even more empty than really is.[mad] Its very bad concept of encounter in encounter in encounter in encounter...
When you turn it into LORE. Its really feels like multi universe. We can jump to identical universe but with/without other players.

Oh it needs to pan out for sure. But it does seem that Frontier is aware the day to day activities needs some looking into. Whether the solutions they come up with work, is something that remains to be seen.
Yup I'd concur with all of that, they seem to know that the game needs a little more depth to its general core gameplay aspects (most fair criticism of the game seems to often be on this point, along with QoL so you don't need to keep leaving the game to find out even basic info), who knows right now if they will pull it off. Really hope so though.
And now tell me what percentage of players still plays some other 3 year old game.
