I remember those day too. Was playing well before launch. I remember picking up a mission that paid me 500cr. Now they are 50,000cr. Go from sidewinder to Cobra in a matter of hours these days. It took me a couple of months when I started. For me it was much better like that.
Yup. I remember those days. Fun days too.
It would have to be done with templates. You get an initial mission which then leads to a choice of three other missions, which then leads to a choice of two missions type of thing. They would be designed so there is some logical progression no matter what missions comes next.
I wouldn't trade getting to experience real ship progression for anything. I loved trying out every ship in the game because i wanted to and out of boredom before getting to the next tier. Slave hauling (not the dumb and dumber biowaste version) was one of the best experiences to be had in video games (while you were learning and unsure of success).
Hell yeah it was good.
No mission board apart from cargo and rep. No engineering either.. when you bought your new ship it was good to go right there, huge grins lets try it out! not some extra burdern of all this upgrade stuff in case you run into ai.
Here’s some memory lanes. I think I like the witchspace animations better before they added the clouds in. That feeling when you were getting raised out of Robigo mines was excitement.

Just throwing in my 2 cents, but i liked missions when I was first starting out. Delivery missions actually started me on exploration. I remember finding a couple of stations that were close to each other that we offering data delivery missions to the Colonia region for like 3 mil each. I used all my money to kit out a DBE and got a full stack of those missions. After going there and back I had enough to build up my Challenger, it was an amazing feeling. I really felt that i put it all on the line for a game that really paid off.
I started last year, and the ship progression seemed slow, but appropriate. I think if it took months to upgrade out of a sidewinder, I probably would have put the game down. I went in with the goal of getting a Corvette, and with no exploits or min/maxing, it still took 364 hours.

Still on target https://forums.frontier.co.uk/index...tion-claires-sanctuary-coming-18-june.513675/ - we should talk about base building 
Yep, another DLC confirmed from the leaked Frontier Roadmap:

There's one more DLC for December to be confirmed for JWE, then a long wait until Elite's 2020 announcement. Unless we get more leaks.

No reason that fdev can't start sharing some of their ideas about what they mean by base building and legs. Both are still huge areas and it would be good to set some expectations (not that it would stop the more inventive forumites going off at a tangent, but let me dream )
)Break out a space legs dance once again. Yeah. Getting in and out of my cobra 4 is gonna be amazing
Imagine if the other option were true, and it was confirmed to be atmospheric planets. How much of a let down would that be, ideology aside.

Both Space Legs and atmo planets were on their long-term plan, so both will most likely arrive anyway. I feel like it makes more sense to polish the walking around experience before we can set foot on atmo planets.
Space Feet Atmo Legs are 5 by 5 Right On Commander legit coming then.
Tick number... what is it, five, now?
I was onboard three reveals ago, but this is still surprising me. Leak 100% legit, someone's job is on the line, and there's no stopping it now.

Well it certainly seems to be correct, however it has been sourced and by whom.
Yeah, I'm not keen on someone losing his/her job over this.
The odd thing about that "leak" is that it carries the signs of being deliberately casual and therefore fake. "Can't remember the name ... was in a phone call," .... "oh and for Elite Dangerous fans ... here's the Thargoid."Just in case, have you guys seen the full recent leak? http://archive.ph/A5WEE#selection-823.0-823.27
There's enough there to fire and sue whoevers doing it if its not authorised. Good one frontier. Too good to talk to us? Poor plebby customers keep asking for a bone. Boo hoo.
Im kinda excited about the jwe stuff actually
And yet it is all testable with time, so the combination is very odd. Almost as if it's a deliberate leak trying to look covert.
Exactly. I would like to add that
Frontier is underestimating its Elite: Dangerous player base
Their claim "We don't announce anything, so you don't end up disappointed" no longer holds water and the best proof is that after delaying the fleet carriers and new ice planets shaders did you see us rage about it?! No, you didn't. We understand. And we wait.
P.S. Think about it this way: If better things are coming, maybe more of my friends would buy the game right now to be ready for those things in the future. That's how it goes.
I don't get you Frontier, I really don't.
I didn't think it was that clever, more related it to the increasing industry trend to deliberately leak info when it suits them. Apple do it routinely, EA did it with anthem etc.
Also would make an odd guess though, while other companies are fishing for market research, it might be that frontier are just trying to be nice given the official word is nothing for 2 years + "we're good if you go until we're ready" (from pages replies the other day).
Its more important to frontier to be frontier than to get it objectively right? Im still not used to this.
