[Video] Open letter from community to Elite Dangerous

[Rubbernuke]

So you say having more range doesn't matter, just because its PvE?

I find that statement bemusing to say the least.

As for 2, no problems with more options, but when I don't think those options are good for the game, just like the PvPers did with the heat meta and other things, i think we are allowed to have opinions

In PvE your G5 ship is God with a capital G. The only metric that matters then is shields because no NPC can touch you in a 10K Cutter. In that situation you could have E grade sensors and you'd hardly notice mowing people down.

People want more immersion, linking sensors to weapons makes a lot of sense and fills out these gaps. It allows for more personalisation, rather than superficial loadouts. Maybe if NPCs double chaffed maybe, along with ECM?

I think 2 pizzas should probably cover it.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Back in the day we could send 20 pizzas to the Frontier towers (actually, not towers back then) and it would result in a significant boost to productivity. Now with 500 employees 20 pizzas wouldn't even get you a single bug fix!!!!

By the end of that pizza fest FD hated Dominos. If they were sent it now they'd cry.

 

[SpaceScania]

So you did read it. Why did you need a summary then?

In these kinds of situations it is inevitable that some will choose to make controversial statements to get a reaction for their own amusement. Ignoring statements that are obviously not made in good faith and staying focused on sending a positive message to Frontier about the need to change course on development of the game is probably the best approach. Otherwise we just dilute the message and this thread goes nowhere.

That doesn’t mean that all objections to this petition were made in bad faith, but some were.

Dude, you're arguing about PvE combat balance with a guy who's complaining that seeker missiles are horribly nerfed and under powered. Just sayin'.

 

[Enderby]

Ew Dominos?
No wonder it all went wrong.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Send them 50 vegan pizzas.

You inhuman freak.

 

[jasonbarron]

Yes in retrospect sending them cardboard covered in ketchup and pretend cheese wasnt such a good idea.

Genuine lol

 

[zimms]

I still remember the pizza box Coriolis

That truly was Elite's honey moon phase. I'm gonna get all nostalgic.

That was fast

 

[Rubbernuke]

That was fast

Its done the rounds before when people described the Kraits ship kit as a pizza box. Well, thats like just inviting Photoshop to dinner really.

I bet Pizza Delivery Kraits make more than Sothis poo runs. Still not as much as Void Salt mining though.

 

[Rubbernuke]

It would be such a shame if this thread started focusing on positive things about the game and its beginnings.

The thing is, we should try and get FD to channel those times as well when they trusted us with betas and stuff. Now its no beta, vegan pizzas and preemptive balance tweaks.

I also remember when people had ideas for pizza and fast food delivery missions for in game fast food- where delivery time bonuses actually made sense, where you could go crazy taxi and inject some humour into the mission before you smack them with ED grimdark when it was actually a thing.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Its what triggers me more reviving these sorts of memories. ED lacks imagination now, with hardly any lore going on (its like, 7 stories in September) where has the soul gone?

puts defibrillator paddles on EDs chest

LIVE DAMN YOU!

 

[ShadowWolf Kell]

The downside is with a Dominoes run its you might end up with the runs if you eat the cargo.

Got that covered.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Got that covered.

Brings back memories of the first training mission with toxic barrels.....weaponised soya cheese....

 

[Eugene Belford]

What's going on here then lol, I've missed the past few days of forum drama being off the grid....I see a massive outcry of pure noise from the same old names who suffer from classic grandiosity, so I think I'll just ignore it any further and drift on by. They do love a fluff don't they though If you don't like the game feel free to play something else, nobody's making you play.
