Ok first of all I am so happy to be able to play Elite again after so many years and I got the same feeling as before.
And it is greaaaaaaaaaaaat... but there is some small issues that need to be adressed.
I wish the game to be great for everyone and I would like to point out some issues which many others might
ponder about or we can get some help regarding them.
Controllers
*It happens way to often I have to redo all my set controls which is starting to get annoying.
- possible fix that we can save the setting to either our own computer or server.
Docking
*We dock a lot and it is a part of the game. However one thing that is annoying is that we get no warning before
we are inside that we are trespassing and then shoot to bits. It happens that I forget to obtain docking clearance.
- possible fixcan be a couple of 100 meters before you enter the docking hatch you get a warning so you can back off
or send a request.
*Another issue is the annoying way to ask for docking clearance. I need to go find the station, then pick the station
and request docking clearance which is rather annoying after 100 times docking.
- Possible fix make it a quick key that you just need to hit to ask when you have the station in the target.
It is a minor nuisance, but becomes really annoying as it is at the moment.
MMO
*We all love to play in a game where we can meet other players and join forces or simply just gain new friends.
However the game lacks a distress option if you need help, running out of fuel or simply want assistance for
a mission etc. It might be in the game, but haven't found it yet and I ran out of fuel several times already.
(I read there was a distress beacon but it was removed and I dont understand why.
- Possible fix but it back, let people have the chance to get help, or even get killed, but the option should be there
and it gives the sense that there is others in the game also.
Floating Alien Artifacts
*Ok in itself it sounds very excisting, but when I scoop them they are marked stolen??
Stolen from who? the aliens? I can understand drop off from other players and npc's
but alien aritfact is stuff no one owns except the aliens, if there was someone who
should get mad at me it was them not the local police. They should be happy I bring
aritfacts to our station. ^^
-Possible fix, don't make them illegal or market stolen.
Missions
*The fighting missions I have a problem with, I seem unable to find my target and I in the end grew tired of doing them
just to click abandon all the time. any clues to how to do them is appriciated.
- Possible fix, give approx area/coordinates where it can be possible to find the npc, the system name is too vague since
the systems are big.
Exploration
*I love this option, but also it is risky when running out of fuel if one takes chances. The issue isn't if I die, but rather that
my explored system stays explored even if I die which is unlogical since I retain no system info when I respawn in the station
please fix this..
-Possible solution when pilot dies the explored systems go back to unexplored.
Other possible changes I would love to see is
- Galaxy Map, when I search map I put it in certain view angle to get an overview, but when I go out of map mode and back again
it is in another angle centered on the system I am in. It is ok for the first few times but it is starting to get on my nerves that
whenever I put the map in a certain position I would love to see it like that when I return.
Don't know if this is very hard to get done, but is an option that would be very helpful.
-I would like a travel Log to keep track on where I have been so I don't go by mistake (happens often) to the same system with
similar names, especially in the outer systems where it is just a code which has many similar ones.
-Don't know it there is such a think we can adjust the travel distance so we will reach back and forth to avoid run out of fuel.
if there is such and option please let me know. ^^ If not I suggest a travel planner of some sorts.
This is topic is not meant to be negative, just things I think would make it a much greater games, and if there is options I mentioned
I would love someone to let me know about it. ^^
