Or, an alternative explanation: you havent understood my point (could be I explained it poorly).
Writting in proper fashion is the first thing to make yourself understood.
As for the ad-hominem: my 'most difficult' trip was +-15.000 LY directly south, so away from Colonia. That put the location cursor 'off the map', and it was a bit like mountaineering. I found and marked systems as 'camps' when they had all mats needed for synthesis. I'd then try a route, and if I got stuck without being able to 'climb further' I head back to the nearest camp, find more mats and try a different route. It was actually quite fun.
15,000 Ly is not too far, it's at most 4 hours away, curiously you just mentioned one type of gameplay not available in the bubble (or +-1500 from it).
But my point is that I had to make that fun myself. I knew FD put absolutely nothing there. There wasn't a reasonable RP reason behind being there either. I wasn't being awarded for it, there were no missions asking me to go there, nothing. And that is in sharp contrast with 'short-range exploration', where you find all kinds of stuff and are rewarded in numerous ways, while being more diverse and rewarding gameplay to boot.
That's not what you were arguing, I would like to have more things to investigate beyond the bubble, however, that still doesn't mean that there's no reason to leave the bubble, as you commented, you had to do injected jumps to get somewhere, that's something you cannot do inside the bubble unless you are a masochist that uses a 4 Ly ship not to mention that you can see the whole milky way from that part of the galaxy. As Spongebob would say:
Use it.
Btw, I didn't adress just one, I adressed the first four of Ziggy's examples and stopped when his next example was an identical station with identical services, but in a different location.
I re-read your reply, you only addressed the "small-big black hole" part, BTW Jaques sells a rare good so that's unique.
If that makes it to Ziggy's list of awesome finds after years and 1.3b income in explo scans it kinda supports my point: FD hasnt invested a lot in deep-space exploration, and that becomes even more obvious when you compare it with their efforts in a +-1500LY radius around the bubble.
There're so many POIs in this
map that'll most likely lag, nuff said.
This topic has become a personal thing. I spend a fair bit of time working out a proposal that would fix a lot of issues for many. It got seven responses, only two from people who post in this topic a fair bit (Zadian and Drew). The rest here simply isn't interested in discussing anything constructively, but is just attacking of anything vaguely perceived as 'pro FSS'. Its being argumentative for the sake of it.
Post the link here, I promise I'll go there and read it, in case you want to know what kind of update I hope for, I just want the ADS to come back, no new content, no more dev time wasted, simple and easy.
even something as obvious as 'FD spend a lot of time on stuff to find near the bubble, and the FSS works for doing just that'
The FSS is definetly not just for that, without the FSS it's virtually impossible to reveal a system payout in
any part of the galaxy, such fact is even more apparent since it substituted the ADS (which definetly didn't serve the purpose you mention).
