The smugness though and the glee in the fact that some people who have played the game for years are finding this has turned them off the game? Not a good look for you at all. I don't happen to think that you're an unpleasant person but it's despite your comments on this issue, not because of them.
Hold up. You're likely focusing on a single comment, not commentS. Follow the trail in reverse, and you'll see I'm responding to someone saying that developer(s) at Frontier
need to be disciplined because the FSS is so terrible. Are those the comments you want Frontier to take seriously? If so, then that makes
you the unpleasant person.
If you trace back my post history even further, you'll see that I have supported the return of the ADS as the
optional, separate module it once was. Heck, do a search for "Old Duck optional, separate module" if you don't believe me. Or ask Drew. If I ever become "smug and gleeful", it's in response to the vitriol that many in the anti-FSS crowd has levied against the FSS and Frontier. The fact that so many people do like the FSS means it is
not garbage. So no, I don't want Frontier to take that claim seriously. Many of us believe they did an amazing job with the FSS. Again, if you do want Frontier to take those comments seriously, then
you are the unpleasant person.
But as I've done before, I'll happily do again - anybody wants to create a thread nicely asking Frontier to bring back the ADS, I'll give that thread my full support.
BTW, I
am an unpleasant person when it comes to year-old bugs, but unless the majority of players actually love ELB, then I think it's apples vs. oranges (and you'll note I changed my signature awhile back to be kinder and gentler).
