Zaxxon has unlimited ammo. You should give it a try.

Then why doesn't the life support system recycle the air in your suit when your canopy gets shot out? That mechanic makes no sense to me.
It was a bug, you knew it was a bug, you and others (ab)used it plenty and now it's fixed. Please stop digging your hole even deeper with every reply you post.
Because by your logic, everything would then need to be unlimited. Missiles, Torps, chaff, SBCs etc.
And all these other things, you now randomly throw in because you cornered yourself, have nothing to do with the topic, at least stop derailing your own thread ?

Which is powered by unlimited fuel.
Then we can ask why life support can fill my ship but not my suit, and we can ask why it takes scores of tons on a big ship to make my suit last longer. It goes on and on and on.
The game is not realistic. Repeat it over and over until you grasp it.
Then let's talk about game mechanics rather than lore realism. Limited ammo for MCs is poor mechanics in this game.
It can be great in a game like Wing Commander. There you had to budget your ammo to get to the end of your mission.
It can be great in a game like Fallout, where global ammo was in limited supply and where finding ammo was a problem.
As implemented in E
, it's just grind. Cool. Here's a cargo bay with 64 tons of the stuff they use to make ammo on stations. I know, I baught it there. Make me ammo.
Oh yea. Can't do that. Why not again? Perhaps the same reason the "super ammo" can't be purchased anywhere and why I can't trade credits with other players.
OK. Ammo. I want 1000 units of ammo.
Oh yea. Can't do that. Why again?
Both of which are a grind... but especially the former (as there are no RNG gods to at least make it uncertain).

So does this game. It just ha a boring reload mechanic that involves flying to a station (which has unlimited ammo)

It is now a grind to fly to stations.
I'm literally sitting here, mouth agape, in bewilderment.
I'm going to bow out from this conversation now.
You should look at the log in your eye and follow your advice.
That's *your* logic, not mine. You don't seem to know what logic is.
An no. Missiles and Torps have such low ammo counts that they can run out in a single battle. There is therefore a functional trade-off in choosing to equip them.
This is similar to the trade-off in MCs in games like Wing Commander, where running out before a mission ends is a possibility.
That does not happen in Elite Dangerous. You won't run out of MC ammo in a single engagement, nor on a single point-to-point run (unless we are talking extreme distances); and even if you would: magic synthesis means you still won't.
So there's no game-balance mechanic on MC ammo... and restocking is just a chore, not an actual game-balance issue.
Pound the table little man. Perhaps no one will notice you have no case.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I can't believe he grinding through posting on the forums or grinding through the log on menu. Yeah I'm done now too. I just can't even...

Which is pretty much what I do.
That or I waste time picking up some synthesis stuff.
Or I interrupt my killing spree and spend 10 minutes reloading before continuing.

I think if you have time to come on here to complain you have time to reload ammo. If I was fighting a Taliban force in the northern part of Kandahar with unlimited m60 rounds well, im just going to leave it there.
Point: If you want to whine and complain don't play the game.
Shut down your power plant and tell us again about your unlimited Air Supply and Electricity.
Deplete your fuel supply and tell us again about your unlimited Air Supply and Electricity.
realistic or irrealistic, I am with Op: the no ammo MC were a lot of fun to me.
Btw: Op has an idea which isn't wrong at all: would you ever think that you could have an infinite ammo rail gun? (getting the ammo directly froma fuel tank).
Maybe an unintended feature.
Anyway we should be able to store ammunitions.

So that's the end of your post then? Cool.
See: it turns out that games and reality aren't the same thing, and as I said in the part you quoted: E
isn't realistic to begin with. So now we must discuss game-mecahnics. Wait. I thought you were leaving that there.
What does that make you? Who solely posts on the thread to whine and complain about the thread?
i'm always amazed with such creativity in the whine posts
I've run out of fuel. I didn't run out of air when that happened.
The fuel rats wouldn't have much of a job then.

Then why does you whining about whine posts seem so uncreative?
This OP though...very impressive....I can't even begin to address his fallacious points about fuel, power, air, ammo, etc. because his logic is so completely lacking that he'll just post some ridiculous reply stating some ridiculousness like it just makes sense and proves his point.

So to the topic. I'm very glad they fixed the ammo economy, now there is an economy again, a proper drawback to MCs has been re-implemented, bug squashed, good work FD.
