Lol, years of this argument in the context of a 400-600m/s speed cap, cannons, missiles,l and lasers with a 3km max range, computer controlled gimbals and turrets that miss, space ships made of impenetrable styrofoam, indestructible structures, space stations with millions of people and 40 parking spots, systems of tens of billions of people and 3 space stations, supercruise in those systems with 12 ships an hr passing through, ...the FSS is what’s unreasonable/unfitting/unbelievable to you?
You find it distasteful, that’s a fine opinion, but claiming THIS feature is the one that doesn’t fit in the 34th century or breaks the sim or the other garbled “i don’t like it so I’m going to pretend it doesn’t make sense enough for Elite so should be changed” arguments. Please, every aspect of the game is arbitrary and ridiculous when put under any scrutiny.
Anyway, it’s better than honk, cruise and wait IMO.
