Cool you gonna be an engineer. Can you put an engine booster on my car when you graduate please..... 100% increase in range but only 20% increase in fuel. I will pay you with 3 pocket sized pieces of iron, a sliver of sulphur and an engine part from an old scrapped ford escort. That is what engineers do isn't it?
You didn't it's all good
What's wrong with something being a reward for dedicated players?
Few people get it , from a developer stand point it’s just a waste, we spend money comeing if 3 people will be able to afford it
Pun aside, you're statement is just not true. It's actually really easy (too easy) for any commander to get a fleet carrier within say three to five days of starting the game. It's just a matter of putting in the time.
I agree , I actually made this comment from the perspective of a profit nerf
this is to prepare you for tritium mining once you own a fleet carrier
Eat Sleep Mine Repeat
hi ho... hi ho... its off mining we do go...
I'm sorry I don't see any logic in that at all.
The whole game of Elite is based upon working towards a goal, mainly of becoming "Elite"
Fleet Carriers are something that has been added to give those who have achieved those goals something else to aim for.
As an aside, it would be natural to have Elitism in a game called ....... Elite , don't you think?
It is a difficult balancing act for sure but for a game which is designed with the goal of playing for 1000s of hrs over literally a decade or more it IS ok having very long term content that not everyone will get.
(I include myself in that I will likely never get a FC but I like the idea of it being there as something to work towards)
I don't play WOW or Eve but how long does it take to get the absolute end game gear in those games without help from others?
Lock
locking those goals behind 5000 hour playwall if I wanted grind city ild play tonyhawk 3
So better you think for everyone to be able to achieve every goal in the game in say .... a week? a couple of days? 20 minutes?
What makes you think mining will be nerfed? It's been the way it is for so long that FD rather missed the boat on that one.
As you say, we just need similar lucrative paths for other professions.

A week , or a month , you gota think man , I got a wife, kids and bils I need doing , my life isnt this game , but I still want to play it, all of it , if I have content locked behind a playwall I’m out of luck
Well said. Pilots in the game world lore are already Elite just for the simple fact that they are space pilots. They are the already at the top of society of ~15 trillion citizens. It's just a difference of being Elitist or the Elite of the Elitist.
Only if you are in some kind of rush to get to the point where the game has nothing for you anymore.
ED is a long term thing. years and years of game play if you choose to do so
Most people take pride in some progress , I play past endgame, most people do , what’s the big deal?
Elite doesn't have an endgame, that's what sets it apart
That is exactly my point
If I want a Lamborghini and I’m makeing a dollar day it’s not a fun experience, and relaying that to a game is just worse
If you want to work day and night for virtual items that’s cool and respectable. but elite isn’t that game .its for the everyday joe people who want a fleet carrier befor or they die. nothing in this game is hard core like eve or wow
