OMG I HOPE MICROSOFT BUYS FDEV COZ THEN ELITE WILL BE AWESOME AND PERFECT!

Also:

(And hundreds upon hundreds more)
 
MechWarrior 5 has ship interiors, good combat, co-op, a VR mod and NO GRIND.

As I understand (and correct me if i'm wrong) but it also has no servers or persistent world to host, its just battles. By definition, there won't be a grind. Its like saying Overwatch doesn't have a grind. There is a campaign mode (which as i understand can be played coop), which is perhaps akin to C&C or similar type games?

You play though it, then its over right?
 
While someone else buying out FD could go either way, i wouldn't like to gamble on the chances that it would be for the better, and anyone prematurely celebrating this idea might want to keep in mind that if it happens it could be a company like Tencent (who already own 9% of FD).

If Tencent bought them out, then first of all i'd laugh at everyone who called for another company to take over FD, and then i'd cry, because i could guess at what the future will bring.
 
I think we should start a Kickstarter campaign to buy it by the community, like people do with football clubs.

Can anyone think of a person who likes this kind of challenge, perhaps in the style of an educated lore expert?

Failing that, there may be someone quackers enough to try and petition the forum for money? That's provided they don't then use the money to buy star citizen instead.

Then all the armchair developers can finally develop!

I saw somewhere it is Hello Games making a bid, as their flagship needs a (better) flight model.

:D S

Here's an idea.

CIG could buy out FD with their millions!

Then CIG will announce they are merging the codebases for ED and SC, and rebooting them as a new product, Elite Citizen.

CIG promise to handcraft the whole galaxy with maximum fidelity, they just need another 500000000 years and and a pledge from the whole planet to make it happen.
I thought the same. Thank goodness I carried on reading the comments, or I would have posted an identical statement!
 
I hate Microsoft with a burning passion so that'd certainly guarantee that FD never get any of my money ever again.

The thing about Microsoft is if they want a property, they'll throw enough money at it to fix problems and expand development. If you haven't, check out the X-Box documentary on YouTube. Basically, a developer from a small group walked into Steve Ballmer's office and said, "Can I have a billion dollars?".

Umm, no. MW5 with both DLCs contains two campaigns with hand crafted missions, but it also contains an infinite number of generated missions employing a dozen mission types, many different biomes, factions to ally with or against, etc.

Career mode is an open-ended sandbox. You can play the same career for decades in gametime--take part in or ignore "historical events" like the 4th succession war.

Activities are limited to combat, building mechs and trading salvage, but you can play as long as you like.

Galactic lore events only occur from 3015 (game start) to 3049 (when the Clans invade) but there are mods for that.
