I'm not even mad that I have to wait for the animation and sound effects. It's that I do know what I want, I have the materials. I'm at the right place and I have to do it 15 times per Shield Booster. And I need to do it for 8 of them. Hello, miss Vatermann. I'd like the shield boosters on my...

Currently when you hire crew, you have 3 slots, but there is only utility for 1 crew at a time. I want Frontier to do something else with crew. I want them to have a deeper purpose in the game. My suggestion is that when you hire a crew, you can choose for them to stay on your ship...

I've been flying for a while now and one hotkey i feel i am missing is one for Supercruise Assist. Being able to just casually fly to a planet, target a site and then push a button to enable Assist to calmly fly there would be quite the Quality of Life feature. Technically it would be the same...

This has probably been suggested before, couldn't find a thread though... Even though it has improved recently, material gathering has always been a bit of a time sink right? How about we allow the player to recycle old unwanted engineered modules and regain 50% of the used materials? The trade...

I get limits but I was annoyed in the pool tutorial where its like "Now design one" and the shape was already laid out but I COULD NOT get the exact shape because there is no "Freestyle" or "Free hand" option where you can use a paint type tool with different sizes to just shape a pool. No grid...

Moros intrepidus isn't frightened by the presence of Giganotosaurus, and after seeing how much attention to detail the other film dinosaur behaviors and animations in-game are implemented from their source materials, the idea I have is to have those two said dinosaur species to socially interact...

One thing I would find immensely helpful is to know if our feeders are in a patrol's range, especially when placing new feeders. Now that rangers have only to scan a single dinosaur to know the animals within the territory, I would often have the outposts placed to cover as many enclosures as...

Hello, The carrier interiors will be a cool addition to the game, and I very much like the idea of being able to walk around my own massive ship as the captain. Doing so on an extended exploration trip would be quite satisfying. With this in mind though, there are two buttons that need to be on...

Please bring back the ability to deactivate ALL buildings. Right now, if I want an “abandoned” park, I can’t have certain (integral) buildings like Control Centers, Arrival Points, etc because their power stays on whether they’re powered or not. The only way to remedy that in the first game was...

I put this here from the SRV QoL thread, it was put mistakenly there: It is very annoying that you can change your active ship only at stations where there is Inter Astra or Shipyard services. Now that we have Apex, you can find yourself very easily in the situation where you end up on a...

Just like there are alternatives with additional costs for paying off fines at interstellar factors, or using carriers services etc., there should be an alternative way to get paid for completed missions where the payments are "wired" to your account rather than have to return to the mission...

Hi, I know that these threads have been around and I will probably not say anything new or mindblowing here but still, there are things that I think would improve the general QoL while playing E : D . 1) Make it possible to buy materials for credits as well as sell them. Reasons: - I...

Hi everyone, after many hours of play (200h since EDO release) I've compiled a list of suggestions that could be added within a reasonable timeframe to alleviate its current gameplay issues which risk hindering it from being an enjoyable game even after framerate gets eventually improved. Some...

On Foot: Shields need to be nerfed and/ or time to kill once shields are down need to be 1/ 2 bullets. when raiding a settlement and you get 3+ guards on you no matter how good your aim is you cant do anything! there is no skill gap. the time to kill is way to long especially for gunfights in...

Just a QOL thing, it would be nice to be able to spontaneously pick a carrier destination while browsing the normal galaxy map interface. As it is you have to go through the carrier management screen (which takes an additional 4 - 5 clicks) and can't plot ship jumps and carrier jumps at the same...

Quality of life suggestion: Allow us to have keybindings for three separate modes: 1. Ship 2. SRV 3. FPS This will make a cleaner setup for multi controller use or just using different setups for SRVs, Ships, and FPS. In my case I use HOTAS for SRV and ship use, but Xbox controller for the...

Improve the use of FC by normal users since the time until jump is very short and the detail panel is not user friendly to check a FC status.

I'm tired of having to use Inara.cz and similar community sites to figure out where I can find Interstellar Factors, technology brokers etc in your video game. The year is 3307 and basic Google like search engine functionality is non existing? It dosent have to be tied to the ship, it can be a...

Dropping in on distress signals is a nice little bit of flavour in between bigger tasks, however, the current mechanic of them means you often drop in on an activity that it turns out you cannot participate in just because you don't have the right limpet controller, and the countdown timer (and...

It only see the option to assign keybindings for cycling back and fourth between fire groups, however I would like to assign fire group 1,2,3 and 4 to 1,2,3 and 4 on the keyboard respectivly (I got panels mapped to f1, f2 etc). Is this already possible and I'm just missing something, or does...

Simple request, add the star class under the system name, just above the horizontal line. Having the Star Class in the Info data is suboptimal because it clears after a moment. If you think this is a reasonable request, like it to show support.

"October 5th 3306. A major breakthrough have been reached by a little-known startup company Norlin Technologies with a headquarter in a rural system near the Bubble's edge. Based on the leaked report, the company's specialists have invented a new approach to building a sofisticated and...

Hello guys, I have some remarks regarding the flight assist off system. We are in the 32 century and there is no option around flight assist. It is On or Off. I think we should have some option... I love hunting some pirate inside asteroid belt with Fa off but it's very hard to aim and when...

It's simple QoL improvement: turn the FC serial number in chat to clickable link which shows the FC in galaxy map / system map or allow to plot the route to FC. The same can be applied to Systems, Bodies, Stations, etc P.S. And please fix the chat! It constantly loses the focus while typing!

Surely I'm not the first to suggest this, but it would be nice to have a filter for our radar. A place like a combat zone soon gets cluttered with materials and wake signals, and in a RES we've also got limpets and ores and cargo canisters, all of which I don't care about unless I do. The...

Would it at all be possible to allow us to view (only view, not pin, or apply experimentals), all available (unlocked ranks) blueprints for any selected engineer, from the engineer page on the right panel? Currently, if I need to engineer say, shield boosters, I look up which engineer does...

Overview The Engineering grind is widely considered one of the most soul-sucking chores currently in the game. I believe simply restructuring the grind, without necessarily reducing it, would dramatically improve the player experience while making Engineering in general feel more rewarding...

Hi, I think a massively overlooked feature I have noticed so far is the ability to quickly identify enclosures when zoomed out. This only gets worse when you have many enclosures in franchise mode. I have mocked up an example of what I mean. Obviously you guys would do a much nicer job, with...

SHIPS/CREW better ship balance. it stands to reason that the higher the tier of ship the better it should be. this is not the case when a 60M T9 can get bullied by a sub 1M ship. if we never have the chance to fight head on because we cant shake them off our tail then some of the hardpoints...

When you look at the left panel, select Transactions, and then pick a Mission, there's room for one more button - PLOT COURSE. This would be wonderful! Insert it right before "Open Galaxy Map", since this is why I click that button in the first place, to plot a course. ps - Not everyone is on a...

Simple - If I activate the FSS while in Combat Mode, then I should still be in Combat Mode when I exit the FSS. These days I'm using the FSS for missions and mats while flying a combat ship, so I have zero need for Analysis Mode. Not only that, but Analysis Mode is a liability when I'm...

Currently to switch off all HUD display you can click CTRL+ALT+G, but I set G to be a keyboard switch for Galaxy map (easy to remember right?) and this stops the CTRL+ALT+G combo from working. I'd like to be able to switch off the HUD with CTRL+ALT+H (would be easy to remember right? :) )

is this a shoping cart emulator disguised as a space simulator? imagine paying $60 to download ebay or amazon app (that might be a little hyperbolic but that’s what it feels like) nothing is more discouraging than the cash shop; the cosmetics need to be CR! this would promote gameplay and cater...

Seeing as I largely fly exploration, pretty much the whole of my local GalMap is blotted out by the possible ~75Ly jumps I can make. Also, calculating all these jumps feels like a waste of CPU-cycles, as it's really only needed when you start planning a route.

I really like all the quality of life changes this update, but one thing i am upset over is that the Hyperspace Dethrottle, the only thing i am interested in, requires you to install the entire module. All this setting does, is press exactly one key for you when you jump. That's it. Its...

Trying to figure out which landing zone I'm supposed to use when landing at a surface installation is something of a challenge, especially when teetering around in an Imperial Cutter & trying not to crater due to a high-g location. :D I was thinking it'd be helpful to include a colored...

I have a T16000m FCS & make use of the I/O layers for my control scheme. The problem I have is that there's no way to know what the state of the I/O layer is. I have the CapsLock key bound to the button that toggles the I/O layer state, but that's by no means a bullet-proof solution. I've...

The orrery map mode is awesome. Being able to view the orbital element information graphically makes it feel more real. However, as the map is currently the usability is somewhat limited. Station and ground port selection is very annoying. Either having to select stations blind from the left...

The ability to select a route directly to a given starport/station/outpost from the galaxy map directly if we have the exploration data, and know the name of the desired destination would be a nice QOL improvement. Currently one needs to use a commodity filter to be able to select a route to a...

You guys know the drill, lacking basic QoL for Elite Dangerous. Anybody knows anything about it? Can we hope to get it before 3307?
