No. I know its friday night, but I aint that drunk yet. Seriously, all the "I dont care but I'm gonna be a dramaqueen anayway!" stuff is boring. Either care or dont.

Is this another "I'm going to sue fd" thread? Sigh....
This, honestly I don't understand. It hurts. Make it stop.

Its definitely unethical to remove game features from a product years after it has already been sold based on those very features. Stellaris did exactly that and their recent reviews on Steam almost instantly plummeted from "mostly positive" to "mostly negative". I cant believe that FD is thinking about going down the same path with Elite. I wont be asking for a refund but I most certainly will be voting with my wallet on any future FD releases by avoiding them like the plague, same as I'm doing with Paradox.
There is a price to pay for such unethical behavior and blatant betrayal of customer trust, it may not be an immediately obvious price but trust me FD, your formerly loyal customers will find a way to pay you back.
Blimey, so some folks are serious about refunds! The mind boggles.
I've bought games and played them for an hour or three and never touched them again. If i could no longer play Elite, i would still think i had had my moneys worth and that includes the LTP.
For the folks that want to take legal action, please keep the forum updated with your endeavour, as i could do with a good laugh.

Thanks for the tip. I was actually watching some lets plays on stellaris and thinking about buying it, i guess i dont really need another strategy game anyway, but i am going to find out more about that.

Never underestimate the fury of sad lonely frustrated rage nerds.
"I've played this game for 3000 hours but now you change a feature I never cared about so I want my $40,- back!"
Between the Refund demands and the empty threats of legal action I’m becoming very convinced that quite a few people on this forum really are toddlers at heart, throwing a tantrum anytime they don’t get their way and afraid of the slightest unknown.
I mean if this is the sort of reaction some people are having to a PROPOSED change, I can’t imagine how absurdly immature the posts will get when Open mode Powerplay actually goes live.

Its a great game, your loss if you skip on it.
You should have seen the meltdown that happened when the first python nerf happened. With the greatest of respect for those concerned, this community has its fair share of people 'with limited social skills and lacking ability to deal with change'.
There was a minor dip from Stellaris changing their Hyperdrive mechanics. The actual major shift was because that same update removed a prototype Chinese Translation that was being used by a surprisingly large and unexpected market for Paradox.
Always been like this since the start. Super sad.
No kidding? How would you say it compares to galciv 2?
I like galciv2 and was thinking about 3 but a lot of reviews i read gave the impression that it was largely more of the same with better graphics, so i started looking around.

On topic.
Yer havin a laugh op? This place is better than a soap opera that have a couple hundred plot lines going instead of of a bakers dozen...this is entertainment money cant buy.
I have no shame in admitting Ive possibly spent as long on these forums as I have logged in the game...a number which is impossible to guess examply as the first year I was here, I played ironman and wiped my save 5 times before I stopped playing ironman. I fell in love with big ships and slf...thats my forte in this game...I even got my elite rank in exploration when I cashed in after living in the core around SagA in a T9 fer 5 months.
Two accounts, pc and console...on pc, bout 2k hours...on xbox, near 3k and counting as thats now my primary account, and I still play a couple hours every single day without fail. Little less time on the forums than I used to, but this current crusade against mount salt aint my crusade...what Im waiting fer hasnt been discussed yet...Im a very patient person when I put my mind to it, considering I was on the verge of uninstalling last October. I have not been overly disappointed enough yet to carry out that threat, so they doing something right.
Or something similar to that effect. How many hours Ive spent on these forums is just...nah I got nothin cos theres not a snowballs chance in hell of actually recording it. Put it this way...my infraction list totals 35 points which is the highest I know off, and Ive known what 3 months suspension from the forums feels like. What may or may not happen next is something I genuinely wish to avoid, so by and large, I behave meself nowadays.
In terms of what I deem to be value fer money, the two accounts cost 60 quid...bought at a time when they werent as cheap to buy, and Ive spent possibly the better part of 2 hundred quid in the store.
Considering the entertainment value to a single parent with lots of free time and a certain amount of spirit and soul crushing pain to deal with in real life, this place is a lifeline to what little remains of my real life sanity and ability to function.
Quite frankly, how in the hell can ye even begin to put a price on that? If FD were Yakuza, they would probably have the two fingers I normally give them on their mantlepiece. That level of entertainment and distraction from a life which is not a happy place of sunshine and roses doesnt have a price tag...so where do ye even put the price?
Silly questions...I like silly stuff and the ramble was fun to write as they express completely how I feel about this game. Fer all its faults, Im still here and Im still in their corner...fer now at least ^

I've to be honest, Stellaris and GalCiv may look like more or less the same game, but they are totally different beasts. What do you specifically like about galciv? What is your playstyle?
The best luck i have had so far (and im not very good) is to expand quickly, do lots of military and weapons research and try to build up quickly when things turn hostile. My current game im trying to emphasize diplomacy and so far that seems to be going well, too early to tell really tho.
Im a little uncertain about how to build up planets, rather than dedicated research or production planets i have been trying a balanced approach on each planet.
I think what i like most about galciv2 is the build up phase, after the shooting starts it can get a little monotonous.
