ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG I just wanted to say that, last night I completed TWO ON FOOT MISSIONS without anything breaking, and then I completed 3 in-ship missions, and this is amazzzzzzzing. Its almost a functional game, although performance is still all over the place, ranging from solid 60+FPS locked, to a dismal 30-40fps inside stations with my Nvidia 3080. I didnt test anything else yet.
I COMPLETED 5 MISSIONS LAST NIGHT WITHOUT THE GAME BREAKING! OMG
I will say, its nice that Frontier have rolled back some of the mission stacking from times of old. I very much appreciated the income boost I saw by stacking 3-4 ship kill missions for the same system, then completing them all at the same time by killing one set of target ships. That 'benefit' had vanished at some point in the last 6 months, but its nice that this has returned. I made more money last night than Ive made in Elite for probably 2 years.
Did someone nerf ship to ship combat? lol every target ship I found last night.... really didnt even fire back at me, and just sat there as I blew them up. I mean, thanks? ROFL Im not even going to complain about this. I complain about plenty of game-breaking stuff, so if you want to go the other direction and just give me stuff, okay. The bugs... dont usually benefit me.
On the bright side, when I destroyed enemy power cores or thrusters, they didnt fly off at 500m/s and force me to chase them for 10 minutes to actually blow them up, so that's a plus. Nor was my ship canopy targeted and destroyed over and over again, long before any other component on my ship was damaged, as was happening a couple weeks ago, so that's nice. That was always a fun bit of 'DaaaaaaaaaannNNNnnNNNNgerousness', when enemy ships would target my canopy 100% of the time, regardless of difficulty or rank.
