Add a storyline with talking characters.

Guys please expand on Elite Dangerous to be more than just a HD version of the BBC B Elite.
As it stands wing commander has more entertainment value.

Even the original version had military missions that awarded the player with special equipment on completion.

Take a good look at existing games today and please do better than poor quality pictures of characters.

Also what’s with the excessively over complicated planet buggy.

There is so much material that could be exploited to guide players around the galaxy on missions being involved in so many plots and factions.

At the moment it’s just repetitive grinding to raise numbers and levels. Boring!

1) Talking NPCs would be welcome
2) Agree that at least Elite 2: Frontier had some interesting missions that would be welcome in Elite Dangerous
3) Yeah, the RNG generation of the NPCs can leave something to be desired. lol
4) Don't agree at all. The buggy is fine.
5) Mission improvements - All for it
6) Subjective. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Yeah, Elite isn't perfect, but it's a fine game that I enjoy playing every chance I get.

Welcome to the forum, btw.

Thx for your comments.

For me the buggy could be a lot easier as achieved with many other games out there.
Also being able to upgrade the buggy would be a blessing such as having your ship set on auto pilot to come pick up the buggy, stronger shields and armour. Better weapons. A hover buggy etc

But the game for me lacks depth and there is too much competition to devote to a game that is the same game play after 1week and 1year later.


If players enjoy Elite as it is then ok great but I think if this game was in the hands of a real games company it could be amazing and a lot more that just flying a ship from a to b then a to b then a to b then a to b.......

Without wanting to sling to much Sh*t, Ubisoft is a real games company and EA is a real games company and I for one am GLAD neither of them handle my favourite game, otherwise we would need to purchase "premium credits" to roll engineer upgrades haha. The smaller games company's arguably churn out the best games, Look at Bohemia, You don't see Arma struggling.

Where more interesting missions are concerned it was announced for 2018 that we'll be getting new missions and "Wing Missions" ultimately, a games depth and immersion to an extent is limited by your own imagination.

I understand the desire to have things like talking NPCs, but look at it from a realistic standpoint on one hand you want FD to undertake the large overhaul required to add talking NPCs, simply so you dont have to read and then on the other side of the coin you want focus on content, but we can't have it all, I'd sooner read the mission briefs and have more polished interactive content.
