Nah, many will misread the menu and complain about being brought to this restaurant, and why couldn't we have gone to that one down the road with the nice decor. Then they'll start a food fight with the complimentary rolls and we'll all get thrown out. Or something
Oh goody - didn't realise they were adding the ability to be stationary in SC - good to know [up]
More than 130 now... Something tells me that FDEV should really consider investing more in exploration than combat!!
It won't affect explorers far outside the bubble, but everybody else will have two choices inside the bubble - drift in SC completely blind or go to a choke point - nav beacon - to get the system map, USSs and other things currently discovered with the discovery scanner.
Before dreams get shattered and the hype bubble implodes…
Possibly. Lets wait and see how it works first. For most systems in the bubble you can buy the information, but so what if you have to sit there blind for a few moments, it just adds a bit of uncertainty and danger which the game is somewhat lacking at the moment.
I wonder if the planet hunting part will be doable in normal space. Obviously not the probing part, that's tied to supercruise already.
Requiring the player to dock at a nearby station that has the system information for the system the player wants to go to, adding more needles tedium.
Personally I don't find flying my ships to stations tedious.
Nope, but the scan will.
Or an epic win. It could be great, could be bad could be somewhere inbetween the two.
You are right, better to wait until we/I know more and maybe tested it in the beta to see how it really works in the context of the game.
South East as well, more specifically just outside of East London. When I first heard the word back in school, it was in relation to Beta Particles, and the teacher pronounced it "bay-ta". Later in life when I learned a little bit of the Greek alphabet just out of pure interest and the letter is pronounced "bay-ta". Later still, I get into Elite Dangerous and hear Ed say "beeta" and just assume it was a regional thing... Now I'm just learning that Americans say "bay-ta" and we're supposed to be saying "beeta"? Sounds really strange to me.
It's always been Beeta for me too, but again, south east Londoner now living in Margate.
Thats because there are so many types of explorers. While the 'secret 17' said something was done with the feedback that we would like, I just cant see any system appeasing all types of explorers. I am sure there will be one topic where people who enjoyed what they saw say so, and a few dozen where every single person who didn't starts their own complaint topic.
Of course it will because that is just how people are.
