..., you go and do a thing, like meet someone called Hera Tani. This, boys and girls, is the classic example of desperation at its finest. In this case desperation to create grind where none is warranted. We got people out there with cargo space that can fit a village in it, yet, the commodity market here is rigged so that as long as it so much as detects the 23 Kamitra cigars it has just sold you, in your inventory, it absolutely WILL NOT restock anymore....ever...not until you fly back to Hera Tani and offload what you have...only then will you be "allowed" to stock more in your hold. So this means your third trip back is to buy 4 cigars? FOUR??? What the???
I'm sorry, but I procrastinated for almost 4 years in unlocking these engineers for precisely this reason. I did not believe in engineering because I thought the whole "make this person happy, to get a referral to that person, to make them happy, to get a referral to another person, to make them happy...." thing, in addition to the "oh each one of us want some stupid commodity thing, too" was so poor. Iit appears I was not wrong. Oh and while we are on the topic... Marco Qwent was the most useless thing I've ever unlocked in a game, but we NEED him, for Palin...and what does Palin want? Nothing more, or less, ridiculous than what Selene wants. Let's see...jump 20 thousand times? or mine 500 tons of ore? I just can't decide which is more fun?
But even after all that...do I still love Elite? A mind blowing "YES." It just bewilders me how low people can go to figure "how can we create unnecessary grind?" And, you know you struck the gold mine of "grind ideas" when you think, "how about only fitting 23 tons of the required 50tons in a cargo hold of 160 tons?"
