You're going to trade and fly missions in that hauler?

^ This.
Take Founders system access for example. As a DDF backer, I can go to Jameson and buy anything, at a discount.
With "cast ship summon", I can pull any of my ships from anywhere in the galaxy (or at least a significant radius), upgrade them, and then summon them back on demand to somewhere else as I need them. So I get that advantage now which others don't have unless they have Founders system access or are Elite (which grants it).
So really all I need to have is a fast Asp and I can zip back to Jameson, buy whatever I need, then zip wherever I want to summon it. Shipyards and outfitting are now totally irrelevant for me. I can buy any ship, and summon it anywhere after I jump over there in an Asp with a size 5 FSD and decent fuel tank.
Working as intended?

Right, they might as well throw the whole economy and galmap out of the window. Every station has every module and ship. What is the point of having different stations? It undermines the entire galaxy and BGS. There is no point to traveling anymore. Nothing to find. Find it once. It's everywhere you are. Like having a Bag of Holding.

It invalidates nothing! All those ships I've upgraded I'll want to fly at various points of my choosing. If on occasion I just want one of my ships now then fine. People will still need to fly their ships.
I think it matters. it removes depth.
Even if its a small ammount , it can change a lot of things.
Now , because everyone has this power , its still ballanced for the players.
However the ships loose ballance. so , I think more features need to be added to ships to give them at least a role post 2.2
For example multiroles , I used them for long travel when expecting a fight and to do trading.
My best friend hangs out in empire space , me in alliance. we meet up and undermine hudson. as a resault , we meet up in ASPs. leaving my vulture behind and his clipper.
Now we can just go in our taxi-aspTM and magic a warship into reality.
If its expensive there is no issue , but I cant see FD ever making it expensive... why?
Because :
Original plan was 100cr at start , end resault was 1000cr
Original plan was 1500 bounty was a lot , end resault 500.000 cr is normal (plot hole by the way , in the books it calls 100.000crs a tone of money for a bounty)
I am expecting the money to be token at best.
Maybe the dosh should scale upwards based on ship class.
so bringing a eagle is cheap , but bringing a vulture is hyper expensive (about 90% of the ships price and all its modules)
When are going to get 3d printed landing? And fighting? 3d printed combat will be super handy.
There were a lot of problems with Voyager. I don't think hard science could have saved it.
What is the point of combat? Why have wars? I mean the galaxy is full of raw material. Just take what you need and you have anything you want. No more "I wonder what's in your hold" "ooohh, plasma dephasiphiers" ... "That's cool, I'll go print me up some of those. For next to nothing... Because you know.... Fuel is practically free."

Yes. 'The line must be drawn here!'
Exactly.
2.3 Introduces Pilot Teleportation because actually flying anywhere is just inconvenient.
"Instantly team up with your pals at your favourite station, summon your favourite ships, and play it your way!!"
Is this the game we want?

You know how much that changes?
Absolutely nothing.
Instead of getting the instant transfer, you can just play half an hour longer and move any ship you like anywhere.
That's what we're doing right now.
It's not even deep or complex. It's really just sitting there, pushing the jump button a few times.

Actually they don't, not to the same degree. They just need to fly a single (or a few) ships which are maxed out for jump range and fuel, then they can get any other ship when they arrive. So they only need to fly one ship any significant distance, and stay intrasystem or do short hops otherwise. Even if they're going on a 400LY Sothis jaunt, on the way back, they'll be back in the fast taxi ship.
make them fly through real space in open with a big 'delivery' flag so we can try to gank them.
kthx.
kthx.
Love it? Hate it? Use it or don't use it. If it increases the player base and brings in more earnings for FD. Then thats a good thing for all of us.

No...
I backed the game because it sounded like it was going to be immersive.
They talked about loading cargo in real time in the vlogs ! what happened?

But it dumbs down the game for us all , thus making it more casual like NMS and less like the game david braben talked about in the vlogs
omg..
1. Why do people bother transporting anything other than raw materials anywhere? because it pays the bills
2. Why are there famines and supply crises? because there's a lot of mouths to feed
3. Why do stations have a stock limit, and some outright don't have certain ships. There are no stock limits on available modules / ships. They only have certain legal rights to print certain ships
4. Why are ships printed with chipped paint, dirty windows, old chairs and stains on the leather? Not a clue?
It just doesn't add up.
Why the omg? it's just my thoughts buddy
What about the way we used to see different ships based on how far a CMDR went. and that as a rule undermining was safer the closer to your ''home'' it was?
Now it will just be the best tool for the job all the time , in every system
