If I wanted a 'radio-tuning' game I would have rather bought an old radio.

Considering that the plane of ecliptic of the system is revealed after honking, I would say it narrows down the search region considerably.
Plus when you tune in to the type of planet you look for, white arrows start to appear when you get near object's position.

'When' you get near, if it happens to be behind you, it'll take ages to locate or get 'near'.


Yes, you can. I use Xbox One pad on PC and it's tied to "Y".

Didn't work for me on Saturday.


Can't argue with that, though I haven't experienced any bugs myself. I think. Or can't remember one.

I did.

Uhm... My monitor isn't either? Are you referring to VR?

Yes VR. Some of us invested a lot of money to have a 3D system for Elite. Only to have a 2D screen thrown at us.

That is a false statement and an oversimplification.
Considering what it took previously to completely scan entire system - flying down to each and every stellar body - it takes much less time now.
If you disagree, you fly to the planet 400.000Ls away, and I'll scan it from FSS - let's see who's faster.

Who mentioned scanning an entire system? Previously; Honk; Open System Map; Visually appraise what I want to detail scan, go there. FSS; Have to locate and identify everything! before I know what the hell I'm looking at. If I do find for example an ELW, I then have to go to Sys Map and tag it. (I take on board you 'Y' key thing, but it doesn't work for me). Right now, honk and open system map and use my eyes is way, way faster then using the FSS.

What information are you referring to? Surface composition? Planet's properties? POI location?
No, you can't have those faster by gazing at the system map.

See above.

The only thing you've gotten faster in the past is the system map with visual representation of planet types. That's it.

Which is (to me at least) 90% of what I want.

There, I've straightened out misinformation you're repeating, and replaced it with facts.

Eh, no you haven't. While a smug closing line might gain you a round of applause from the monkey gallery, I still stick to what I said. And just to clear something up, to the best of my knowledge, planetary info still requires a DSS. Which necessitates flying to it. I may be wrong on that though so will stand corrected if required. Unless of course you're referring to the roundy picture of a planet and a few lines of info?

And just to add more to this; On Saturday out near the Pipe Bowl, I landed in a system with 49 bodies. I tried using the FSS and could not find all the entries. So I gave up and jumped to the System Map. Nothing I was interested in, so went on my way.

I re-iterate for the umpteenth time, I respect that others love it. I hate it, for all the reasons above. And contrary to smug high horse replies, nothing has changed.
 
Pardon me, that wasn't as clear as I intended. Allow me to rephrase:

"your point of view may have gained more Frontier's sympathy"

If it's still not worthy your consideration, then all I'm gonna say is don't be surprised there are no results.
Cheers.

I won’t be. Thanks for the advice.
 
Maybe you should have left the OP hanging & not bumped their thread then. Maybe it should have remained in the section that used to be called 'suggestions & feedback'.

Then again maybe FDev should have built on what was already there & not needlessly removed functionality that's been in the game for four years, a move that was only ever going to create frustration and was never going to sell more games.

Lots of predictable things happen, generally there is an easy solution.

The predictability here is much more in line with the Hotel California thread; all the exact same stuff from all the exact same people. It's not doing anything productive unless we could harness the centripetal force of the carousel spin.

Those who are always complaining in every fragging thread that they don't like the FSS. The FSS is established and won't go...To complain about it is absolutely a waste of time and effort. But these are only my 2 credits.

Thankfuilly you didn't spend too much :)
 
I don’t give a damn about sympathy. I’m not here to offer a solution. I’m here to say I don’t like the FSS. I dont even want to discuss it. I only want to say, over and over again, in any related thread how I think it’s awful.

I can tell you, having spent a year doing the same thing myself for something that nobody loves, including Frontier, "Resistance is futile."

Now if you'd like some help making your signature banner.... :D

I miss messing with SDC and the Code. These were chaps. They prod you, you prod them. Fun is had by all. Good times.

No one has called me a carebear in ages [sad]

I really wish i was exploring right now. If im hanging about this forum moaning its cause im not in game and im not in game cause of the FSS. What is the logic behind the refusal to acknowlage us? They must think that the group who is upset by the FSS is so small that its ok to just ignore it. That the forumites who defend the FSS will shout us down and close our threads and thats going to be that. Its not very nice is it? What did explorers do to get this?

I still care about your bearness, Zig. IDW poke you with a stick though, you're already down an eye.

In fairness... Some like it, some don't and will just not use it.

Unless it's Ladybird story time, (Thargoids), FDev could care less if it's used or not. I ignore thargoids too :)

You mean those people who have the time to post in every thread about the FSS and their dislike of it?... they have the time because they ain't playing Elite Dangerous as much now... if at all, those that won't be spending their wedge on further expansions and micro purchases because the game that they enjoyed is no longer enjoyable?

Those people... yeah they're just rabble and should be put down in the forums because their opinion doesn't count to the pro FSS gang.

And when all the excitement blows over and the hoards of new explorers decide exploring ain't for them the currently bursting hall of explorers will be empty except for the few stragglers that rode the wave of change, it's sad really Adam!

Neither those who are in favour, nor those who are against have such influence on Frontier.

Frontier has decided on a format, and that's that. If you're arguing here in the hope of changes, you are going to be disappointed. Luckily, this is Dangerous Discussion where arguing for argument's sake is the flavour du jour. As it was the flavour du heir and the flavour du domain. Pardon my terrible French.
That's a Chairbear ! :D
My lord what a bad pun. Bravo! Appreciate it :D

Perhaps they could drum up some controversy by going full Bethesda and mis-selling tat on their website.

Surely that would be worth some reddit posts and articles from euroclickbaiter?
