beyond 3.0 positive feedback

Alot of moaners on here lately, i remember the early days when these forums were as enjoyable as the game!

Anyway FDev beyond is perfect - Elite is on the right track. The planets, gameplay mission boards everything is coming together and its not the biggest patch of the year. Galnet audio is great - i never bothered with galnet but i listen to all the updates daily now while im out doing whatever.. Crime and punishment is spot on! You can retreat into another power controlled system after doing your dirty work and then go pay off the bounty instead of having to wait a whole week.

The game is very optimized ( VR player ) runs smooth as silk - very enjoyable. Im a lifetime expansion pass holder but while were on the right track ive no problem spending ££ in the store for addons. What id like to see towards the end of the year, planetary landings - even if theyre dead baron planets. More varied planets, even exploded remains?? More options with tbe SLF's ? give us a reason to carry 2 or more pilots.

great job FDev. love it

The thing that prints credits for me is back on the menu.
Might be a cash billionaire again.

Different version of the edge case.

engineering changes are good. I now have a maxed out FAS and can PVP on a level playing field (still suck at it though)

Enjoying it. Engineers better, material collecting better, material trader useful, new content nice, planet surfaces more interesting. All in all good stuff FD.

This game is a masterpiece in many ways. Of course it has flaws and bugs and issues but people who cry that it is dead or ruined just because their favourite toy/exploit/activity changed seem to have entirely missed the point imho.

I'm glad that it's not just me who seems to remember the early days, beta and beyond (pardon the pun), as being a more relaxed and dare I say grown up place to hang around in.

I would love to experience ED anew, with the fresh eyes I had in beta. It was an amazing experience back then, so I can't imagine how I'd feel coming to it today. The game has come a long way since its inception, and the Beyond series I feel has the right focus, on the core gameplay.

And there's the rub, we talk of gameplay in a game that is to my mind much more a toy box than traditional 'chosen one' game. Some people don't like the idea that ED is what you make it, but alas this is true.
