Why I and many others will rarely play Elite

[Bigmaec]

Guys, don't feed the troll... he's just trying (and failing tbh) to make fun of this thread...

He's a she and we love her for those threads.

Corrected, and I apologize. I do agree with that original thread though. It's the reason you'll never find me in open.

It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh.

I hope you will soon be able to share your vision regarding seeing so many legs.
Have to say it will be an unusual sight. (the legs ofc )

Last time I tried playing Elite, I logged in on three different occasions, and saw a spaceship all three times. Makes for some rather boring gameplay IMO, and detracts from what I want to do. So no more Elite for me. If I want to see an occasional spaceship, I'll search 'NASA SPACESHIP COOL' on Google images (which I do).

Im 100% with you on this.

Less ships the better.

The angst when playing Elite is too much sometimes.

That's why I've been a strong proponent for years in asking Frontier for mechanics that allow the game to play itself.

Playing a simulation inside a simulation, that could be too much for FDEV.

Are you a genie out of a bottle, Christina?

The reason i dont play elite any more often than i do is grind and the lack of balance that engineers inflicted on the game.

Same here.

Was this poor satire on purpose, or was it just poor? Anyway.

A+ on insuring we know what thread is being satired.
F on making it close enough to draw even a semblance of parity.

Meh.

Thanks for doing your part in keeping open Elite dangerous. Some people stand around in the kitchen moaning about the heat, while others have the dignity to just leave the kitchen to the chefs.

Watch out for the satire anvil folks, it's a doozy.

Isn't satire supposed to be funny though?

You can see why people were confused.

Apart from bad chefs. Until someone tells them they are bad anyway.

Thankfully, our 'kitchen' isn't a safe space. The remains of bad chefs are just as easily abandoned in the black as that of any others

Which makes me think . . . imagine if we could take bits of named ship wreckage . . . for science. I'd have to start saving for an FC for the storage space.

My posts are the most subtle and least detectible things ever detected on planet Earth and it was all done without the need of a spaceship.

Good thing I have 320t of sensor equipment on my Corvette. I'm quite certain a RELSPI Post Detector is part of the set.

It's a good thing I don't read the forums.

No, satire is supposed to make you vote Democrat.
