The Bar Stupidity that Frontier Made

I am not sure if it's appropriate to call the developers stupid and dumb because you disagree with some storage limit. :unsure:
Agreed. Then again we had earlier less angry posts which, as is the usual case, were ignored. So as usual we end up with people posting angrier and angrier posts until fdev silently change things, or people give up. 'tis the way of the forums :)
 
I am making my 1st post in 5 years of Elite play. And what do I want to post about. I want to post how stupid do you think it is to sell the capability of having a bar and a bartender that can trade materials on their 5 billion credit carrier and spend 250 million credits on the bar just to be able to sell 100 items in that bar. 100 ITEMS OF ALL THE COMPONETS IN THE ODYSSEY FOOT GAME. How dumb can Frontier be. Please try to explain that to me, for I do not comprehend how anyone would be thinking that would be a decent number.
First rule of negotiation: start low then convince your counterpart that you have given them something rather than taken it away in the first instance?

In their stream last night they did say that they were looking into tweaking the amount, so they appear to have heard.
Mind you they could change their minds if people resort to insults.

I think frontier should at least acknowledge that they disappeared off the forum radar completely, only to return as if nothing had happened, and blithely assume that we will be nice and sweet - they just don’t know who they’re dealing with man! :cool:
 
Little harsh in word and tone there... but yes, I believe that a humble request that the 100 item limit receive a "second look" with a desired increase and that if that limit is firm, perhaps an explanation from them as to why would be respectfully requested.
 
No one is venting his ungratefulness here about he the ability to exchange stuff, because everyone knows you can use your backpack for that. Functionally, the bar added nothing.
(Technically, its the first bar I get 60 fps in, so on hindsight its not a total loss)

It allows the bar owner to be offline thus facilitating trades to happen between players on various timezones / play schedules
But i guess this may count as nothing 🤷‍♂️

I still think it's adding a lot of value

My only gripe with them bartenders is the fact they removed material-to-material exchange so i still have to make sure i dont forget to exchange less useful materials in more useful/valuable materials (when i visit the station bartenders)
 
Start with a 100 limit, then provide a number of interesting, legally questionable missions, to gradually upgrade that limit. The missions can involve all existing game mechanics involving heists, pirating, megaship/station looting, etc. There’s a lot of potential without even introducing new game mechanics, you just have to get creative.

Why bother being creative?
They will up it in 11.1 or 11.2 - 100 seems a quite arbitrary limit

Carrier tritium usage was reduced in two or three different instances already so why not Bartender getting some extra saddles?

Yes, sure, but why simply up the limit instead of introducing some interesting gameplay around it?
 
How about adding a CQC console somewhere in the bar?

Like that you could play a quick game while waiting for the jump. Even add one for the captain on the bridge and the ready room.

I havent checked, but cannot one use the wheel to queue a cqc match? Sure while standing cause the damn wheel is not available while sitting
