[rant] For real. I'm inside this massive solar system, with planets I can land on and icy rings I can explore, yet you have me spending nearly thirty minutes for a measly 20k jumping from system-station > system-station >system-station, only to have the AI consistently spawn on top of me and prolong this routine via bugged-out interdictions. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but the horse deserves it.
How about an AI that won't open fire 100% of the time, and can be warded off by dropping a certain amount of cargo? Or perhaps delivery missions that don't require me to go into super cruise/witch space? There's a lot of potential for emergent content here that is instantly wiped away by the fact that, through design, we're required to jump from instance to instance. Surface missions could also use a lot of love. As it stands now it basically amounts to staring at your scanner for POIs. It'd be nice to have landmarks named and marked on the surface map to guide us. Stuff like "go retrieve a shipment of narcotics from Moltke crater" or "deliver these narcotics to our type-9 sitting outside the border due east" would go a long way.
I really don't care about the grind anymore. I already spent hundreds of hours on Xbox, so I'm a lot more relaxed on PC in that regard. But daggum'... when missions do work, they only seem to foil any desire to do more in the future. [/rant]
Sorry guys. Still, for some reason, I absolutely love this game! I blame Stockholm syndrome. [noob]
