Undocking computer.
SC assist.
Dumbing down the game is not the way to go.
CMDRs can go from a Sidewinder to an Anaconda is a few hours, completely foregoing the opportunity to gain experience and learning to play the game. Credits are no replacement for experience.
You've also allowed griefing and killing for no reason, a change from what the game was originally envisioned.
An increasing parade of desperate "fixes" have had to be implemented to address this mistake.
Speed limits in stations instead of shadowbanning station rammers. Then they started ramming "speeders" to enforce the speed limits they caused to be implemented...
Crime and Punishment system.
Now noob areas where experienced CMDRs can't even reach to help out and take new CMDRs under their wing, all because the devs caved to pressure from EVE-like players who wanted a free fire zone throughout Elite.
How much time and resources have been wasted on this, and how much further along could meaningful content be?
There's already a huge issue of CMDRs with no idea how to fly, outfit, navigate, etc., and the impetus to learn to do so are being taken away.
Elite is a niche game, only a certain segment is going to be interested. Just like the military, the military isn't right for everyone, and not everyone who wants to join is right for the military. Trying to shoehorn people into a game like Elite is going to backfire. Please rethink this.
