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

For me it's not about credits (although obviously it's now quicker - it was easy before, it just took much longer!), and I wager it isn't for others either. There's another thread "BD-12 1172: Best System Ever?" which with the old system you'd have to rely on blind luck or more likely someone else finding all that stuff first and then you hearing about it on the forums or wherever, now everyone has a decent chance to find these things. The FSS (for me at least) makes exploration more time-respectful and interesting...

Of course the FSS is a success.
If you make something easier the majority of people are going to be pleased with it, and only a minority upset.
I'd guess I'm closest to agreeing with "old duck" although to be honest I really couldn't give a monkey's whether the ADS is brought back or stays confined to the darkest of pits. I'm viewing this thread in horrified fascination at how some can become so fixated on something so trivial.
Totally agree.
Absolutely. That post also shows how it all ties together: the FSS, probes, the new lightning, new stuff to find: it all connects into an awesome explo experience. Still hanging around in Colonia, ships are being transferred and then I'll be doing a series of smaller expeditions around these parts in small ships, waiting to see where DWE2 goes.
That's a bit like taking the absence of evidence as the evidence of absence.
I make a habit of not responding to wfay requests, and no, that's not a type-o... "wfay requests", pronounced "way requests", are any number of things people ask that will simply never happen and do not warrant a response, because as we all know, there is no "f" in "way".
Currently 10k away from Colonia after visiting Sag A then i'm off to beagle for a spot of sightseeing.
Still not found the compelling gameplay in the fss.
Lighting looks good though.

Coincidentally I visited that system the other day, my video showing emulation the ADS post 3.3 started with me taking off from that system. It was of course already completely discovered & the FSS played no part in revealing all the toys, that was all down to the new probing/mapping feature that revealed surface POIs and the three NSPs (IIRC all in rings, one has a scientific megaship too) were simply revealed with the honk.
and?
Just because 10k people sign up for a community doesn't indicate widespread support for the blue blob machine.
Will be interesting to see though post DW2 how many people who do explore might voice some issues with the blob machine.
The issue is that there currently are not really a lot of things, and the things that exist cannot really be expected to be rare. Heck, they should be vastly more common than they are still! The solution is (IMHO) atmo planets, procgen findings and having planetary conditions influence gameplay. Expeditions on a boiling planet should be different than drifting around a planet that is far more welcoming. So you find stuff and the gameplay around it is varied.
The best part of Elite Dangerous; Large meet up with common Goals.
Docked at Bakewell eventually
. Roll on tomorrow!
The same seven as now.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that those of us who don't want to use the FSS are demanding to retain its functionality. @Riverside is arguing that it shouldn't be necessary, not that he wouldn't accept it as a compromise. The rest of us would take the option to disable the FSS and fit an ADS would take it in a heartbeat. There are posts from @Blackcompany in this thread offering to take no credits and no tags in return for the ADS to be restored. I've personally stated a number of times that I'll accept that as a compromise solution.
Frankly, your post is just another transparent attempt to claim the moral high ground, while spouting misleading information. Your 'credibility and honesty' is sadly lacking.
