Why FDev.. just why make this game so tedious on purpose?
- Thread starter Turric4n_ED
- Start date
Oh wow, that is a shame because those are game advantages (especially the missiles against other players - the FSD would be an in game quality of life).
Not so long ago I was writing to a Community Manager to see if those that couldn't watch a stream (because of time zones or IRL) could maybe get the giveaway paint jobs because it was Christmas and COVID etc (just thought it would be a great - community spirited thing for ED to do). It's a little sad hearing about this.
Thank you for the quick response. <O
Ugh 'new' cmdrs.Yes it’s pretty crazy what we can babble about sometimes.

Oh I forgot there was also improved planetary surface scanner.
None of these modules were anything special.
I was under the impression nthat it was just a fully G5 scanner (50% extra coverage) but don't mind if I am wrong - mine are already G5 completed.
It was slightly better coverage.
Nothing gamebreaking.
If you are ok with unique gear being given out that is fine and is one thing... But your statement is pretty inaccurate imo. I would say giving out "just" G5 gear would be pretty special so to give stuff that is even better still , that makes it special by the very definition imo.
At least. Usually more. Rocks always give lots of materials. Crystals only give one, though - but they're all high value and you find lots of them in the same place.
I looked it up .. and there is nothing unique about that gear. A class 4 FSD Booster.. that anyone can unlock in an hour or two at the guardian site. Offering more options to get to the gear is fine in my book.
One of us is mistaken then
We are way OT for this thread but I was responding to someone who said play at your own pace as nothing is time sensitive.
However the stacking of the 2 bonuses does add a large advantage.
Add to that the fast boot time means you can put it at zone 5 in power management and fire it up super fast. Pretty amazing and had I of been able to play damn straight it would be on my ship all the time. (I would still be against FD doing it however)
Faster Boot Sequence (G5):
Pros
- -80% Boot Time - +15% Optimal Mass
Cons
- -15% Integrity - +20% Thermal Load
Increased Range (G5):
Pros
- +55% Optimal Mass
Cons
- -15% Integrity - +30% Module Mass - +15% Power Draw

You could balance out missions against this for example. But missions are thanks to the interface also a chore and in itself repetitive. Robigo to Sirius Atmosphere pays very well, but it is the same loop over and over. Even the one improvement that you could see the amount of your storage from an reward item in the reward screen would go a long way. This interface is not a good one. You can disagree, but there are many many ways where you can improve.
Another idea would be to let people trade materials / money or let people create missions with rewards.
Cargo missions are even worse, because you know you get interdicted 100ls from your goal. There is nothing you can do about. No evasive gameplay, no sneaky routes, no deterrent (an NPC viper will gank a federal corvette). Either you submit or you play the minigame. There is just wasted potential.
Someone had the idea to get a grapple hook, that was an interesting idea. Or you could get a limpet srv.. or at least show the fragments on the radar.. or make them collectible while not targeted (why do you need to target something for collection anyway?)
Good! Painful to watch was what i was aiming for.

Ok...
Threads move pretty fast sometimes. If you don't stop and take a look around you might miss them.
Bow wow, chikka!
People are giving you advice. Take it or leave it, it's up to you. But if you want to continue what you consider tedious, go knock yourself out.
Having read the first half page, I think I'll bow out... Unless anyone thinks there's a better flavour of crisps than the mighty cheese and onion.
Otherwise I think I'll steer clear.
I'm very fond of Walkers Max Hot Chicken Wing flavour... Even more than cheese & onion these days...
Very good with a glass of Guinness I consider
Rocks may give more materials if you compare one outcrop with one shard.
But the shards are all clumped together and you can fill up 150 G4 raws in less than 45 minutes. You cannot do that by shooting rocks.
And if you trade down some of those 150 G4 you will get a lot of low tier raws from the same line...
painfully strong salt and vinegar. Mouth burningly strong. Mmm.
