State of the Game

sometimes...i hope so... but then i question the intentionality of it because it happens so frequently when i'm not active and it saddens me to think we are no better than the dirty peasants drooling all over their keyboards outside of this thread.

He has a point you know... It's one thing to intentionally derail a thread completely and utterly for two weeks and just shy of 10k posts, but we are no better than the un-enlightened masses out "there", if we cannot spend that little extra effort to add a "MEOW" to any picture we post, no matter how irrelevant it seems.

Guys, you can talk about how much you prefer star citizen in the star citizen thread. This thread is about Elite Dangerous and how it's going to be cancelled any day now.

But the owls are not what they seem!

that's a helluva way to keep them darn squirrels down...

You can laugh, but when I've heard for the first time
"Guck, ein Schmetterling" (look, a butterfly),
I felt an instant urge to train my "duck and cover" skill.

Exactly

You dont need to bring Owls into this. The Owls are just doing their job. Sure, their streams are full of gratuitous nudity and shameless exploitation of women to play to avg gamer ....but that's what they're told to do by Fdev. They dont have a choice.

Behold, a spicy cat meme...

Whispers in witchspace... The Void beckons us.

Everyone wants immersion.
FD Here is a space game. Space is huge, so travelling between bodies in a system takes time.
No-one likes immersion

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Again... Badum, Tss!

Nobody gets my weird references.

Yes, and they are like 50% of explorable area.

No... No... The void really really doesn't

Depends on the Jpeg you buy in their store. The bigger ones easily make up for 70%

Actually I did, but then I forgot... At my age thats pretty normal

one can imagine a game where you have the distance between bodies take time... and wait ..now this is where it gets crazy complicated.

You do things during that journey that fall within the general idea of gameplay.

This goes on for much of the time spent getting to the next body so that the entire journey is less about "taking time" and basically just the game you are playing.


Now i can understand if that concept is above your ability to comprehend. It's obviously above Fdev's. But i assure you, it's not magic.

And the pheasant has no agenda
