Elite Dangerous... it's been 6 months... I bought it on release and played it for a couple of months before realizing I had done everything there was to do... and so I stopped playing... kept checking in here to see if Frontier had actually added any content to the game...So it's 6 months since release.... Still no fracking content...I swear if RockStar ever decided to do a GTA space game Frontier would be in some serious trouble!
6 months out and....

Awww...no content?? pouting aren't you?....
I know...how dare we spend time at all in it?... I guess is a blessing that your favorite game's studio -which is truly and greatly very different genre, style, gameplay and has nothing to do with ED whatsoever- has decided to spare FD life!! Oh almighty RockStar, thank you for saving us from doom!!...
Now, nothing to see here...just come back in a year...or better yet, just don't.
Thanks.
Quit them, you wont be missed
Well the game has actually really nothing special to do after you tryed RES, nav. and combat zones, exploring and trading. Missions are boring, community goals are pretty simple (would like dynamic goals like in the first day they need a million tons of gold and tomorrow they need food and armor etc).
I`m still happy with the game, otherwise i would be somewhere else and not here. But the "action" part in this game is really low. PvP is pretty rare outside of high population zones, being a pirate is not worth it (in terms of actuall profit), smuggling is fun but you still dont get the big money.
And this is why i paused streaming Elite on twitch - its just BORING to watch, my viewer run away if they see me traveling around for hours without any action at all.
We need more content. In the end, Elite is an MMO and should be played like one. Anyone remeber the opening of the Gates of Ahn`Qiraj in WoW?
Something massive, with a huge amount of people fighting for a unique community goal, but it was MULTIPLAYER, not everyone farming solo somewhere where no one can find him and say hello...
FD decided to make it an online sandbox MMO, so where the hell is the multiplayer part? Right now its not really worth it to play with friends outside of trading (no action at all).
I still hope i would see as many people in the game as i see NPCs right now. The "massive" multiplayer part would cover the lack of action a bit.

NOOO!!! Don't feed the TROLL!!! Just let it rot here, in this thread...do not comment, do not reply, do not rep....jut let it fall into oblivion in the depth of the forum...
Seriously!...these people already made their minds on the game, they clearly don't get it and we are fanboys...do not feed into it..nothing you or I or anybody can suggest or change that fact...
What gets me is their egocentric point of view, and arrogance, as to even come here, start a thread on one of the most beaten up path in the forum, when clearly we have had this discussion so many times, and still think that their reasoning and whatever they need to say is really original or important...
Pluhease!!!
Is offensive and disgusting to the community!! You reaally want to know what's new? check updates...you really want to experience it? play it....you really dont like it and want to know what people like you think? go and search for this same thread writen over and over in the forum and find out...
Just don't come here with your condescending tone to warn me how delusional we must be and how lucky we got it because if that another game =GTA or WOW or EVE or SC or even Candy Crush!!! = have not decided to compete with FD...
Up yours, my friend! Get lost!
Seriously guys...ignore... this is offensive at this point...

You may want to check that calendar again.
Yeah I can't wait to go space bowling with my cousin...
Roman says here have some rep
Love gta. Think it's brill. I've played all of them (except those funny console only ones). I loved gtav. It's the best of the lot.
I stopped playing it because single player got a bit dull after the second play through. And online was horrid.
I've played ED for longer. Hmm. Ima go post on the gtav forums and complain now.
"If Frontier ever did a gta game, Rockstar would be in trouble!"
No wait. I won't. Because I'd look a bit silly.
I'm the same way, I even have a great DK2 set up, but that couldn't keep me interested. ALL of my friends gave up before I did (DK2 helped). Its interesting because the same people defending it then are the ones I see in this thread. I think some have a very different view of what "content" is, and 400 billion systems themselves are not content, they are places you could put content.
This is the first time I've been back to the forums in a while, I keep hoping to see something, but I think this has ALWAYS been a problem with Elite, incredible promise that falters before reaching the finish line.
I guess I'm just not a hard-core gamer... I've been playing for almost 2 months, and I still have a ton of things I want to do...
1. Pick an independent system close to Empire/Federation/Alliance space, with close access to ship upgrades and a RES site near an outpost with a black market. Start a pirating career after setting up Voice Attack to allow me to broadcast the Disney "A Pirates Life for Me" into the general coms channel when I interdict my customers...
2. Get a few wingmates to help me hunt some psychopaths - basically, I'll fly a Sidewinder, then all of us visit a highly populated system and I'll wait outside the wing until I get picked on by CMDRs looking for a cheap thrill... then join the wing and turn on the wing beacon
3. Buy and upgrade a Python, trading in my Asp.
4. Go on a long trip... get some alone time, check out some interesting nebulas/black holes, maybe find a Thargoid!!
5. Flip a system, or at least be there supporting the winning side when it gets flipped.
6. Go after a top 10 CMDR in the bulletin board, and have an epic struggle where they run and I have to chase them down. Or where I have to run, and they chase me down
7. Reset my game, and play a self-imposed ironman where I reset my game every time I lose my ship.
8. Go to a RES site in my selected pirating system, and see how many NPC/CMDR bounty hunters I can take out before I have to flee/die.
I'm sure between now and then I think up a bunch more stuff to do (especially once we can land on planets and walk around). But right now, I'm just having too much fun flying the assassination missions, and finding all the ways they can get forked or otherwise messed up.
I love the openness of this game, and how nobody's telling me what to do...
