    Always Online and The Digital Dark Age

    So with the game for perhaps the first time making great changes to core mechanics that radically change the way it is played, rather than just expanding the game with more features, and because the game is always online, the old way of playing will disappear forever. Now suppose one is not fond...

    The biggest problems are still there.

    So these new changes in chapter 4 all sound really good. But I must come back down and remind myself that some of the biggest issues with the game are still alive and well as of these announcements. Issue #1: Persistent NPC's One of the small things that really break the immersion of the game...

    How many players are actually in ED?

    I recently mentioned the steep decline in Steam numbers as cause for concern and it was met with the usual bile and hostility from people who shout fake news at evidence they dislike (presumably the concept of analysis using a population sample was too difficult to grasp as well). So i wonder if...

    Steam numbers

    Let me predicate by anticipating the inevitable calls about how representative steam numbers are - I know steam numbers are only part of the picture. They are, however, a sample of the population and although some degree of statistical error will exist when extrapolating to the wider population...

    Sitting Duck or FSS mode

    Just before I mention a concern I have (FSS) I want to say I love the exploration update already and I will be returning to ED due to the fact the new features will enable me to explore the way I want to. That said, one thing concerns me (Being a vulnerable Explorer in a ship configured for...

    Beyond Final Chapter: Where's The New Gameplay Aside From Planet Mapping?

    From the livestream it seems the only new gameplay mechanic in the final chapter of Beyond is mapping a planet. And you can even do that with friends too yay! Sounds thrilling. :rolleyes: The other new bits coming in this release seem to only change the way in which you play with existing...

    Codex

    So.....Out of billions of stars, 42 (codex rumours) things to find. Probably cut and paste ships and ruins. Most will be discovered by canonn in a few days. Also a new lightning instance in witch space, boring after a few goes. Where's the actual game? I want to explore and find unique stuff...

    Chapter 4? I'm disappointed...

    ...by the fact you still need two separate slots for the discovery scanner and the detailed surface scanner. They said they are going to make some sort of combined internal compartments for certain modules such as limpets and I really hoped this would happen in Chapter 4 but apparently it...

    Elite is now just too easy and not particularly dangerous

    When I startedit was a long hard struggle to progress up. Weeks and months to get the nextship up from the one you had. but recently I have come to the conclusion, it’s alljust too easy. So, I decided to see just how easy it really has become. Startingfrom scratch with a sidewinder to see how...

    Elite Franchise Life Ends In December 2021?

    Frontier's 2018 annual report has been released. On page 50: "At 31 May 2018 the expected remaining life of the franchise is considered to be three and a half years." This is in regards to lifetime pass revenue and is the same deadline included in last year's report. Maybe it simply means...

    Elite Dangerous' flight model is severely flawed

    I have to say that the absolute biggest offender in this game is the flight mechanics; they are so severely broken and boring. I love simulation but above all a video game should be fun.. that is the first principle of why people play them and can escape in video game worlds. Otherwise, people...
