Dear, FD how about we settle this in game? (Instant Transfer CG request)

[Kled7]

So I am not good with polls or anything, but I think the best way to settle this whole thing is with a competitive CG.

A long while back there was a CG for huge weapons (which no one, or very few people, knew what the purpose of the CG was at the time, but that’s another issue I don’t want to get into) the idea was that we have a community CG to implement an in-game feature. So how about it? Give us a community CG to implement a more *realistic* ship transfer feature.

I know, and I understand from a design point of view how good instant is on a personal game play level. It makes sense and it gets me into things faster, but it doesn’t feel right. This game is a simulator primarily, and for a simulator to function well the mechanics need to not only function, and allow the person to accomplish a task, but they need to also “feel” right. Feeling and the sense of awe are the primary reason people play.

Give us a CG to prove our point.

+1 Virtual rep because I can't rep you again so soon.

And where's the poll? How can we make decisions without a poll?

 

[Weps]

Yeah, I'd dust off the joystick for this! It's a matter of honor!

Polls on the Internet are like playing darts with a blind man, you might hit a bullseye but your more then likely just going to get someone hurt.

Isn't "community CG" redundant?
Kind of like saying "NIC card".

 

[Brimstone]

No. Just no. Instant ship transfer is coming, deal with it people.

 

[Andovar]

I'd definitely sign up for this one.

 

[CMDR Aengus]

Me too. After Instant Ship Transfer, so that I can get all my best ships out there and totally exploit the hell out of it.

 

[CMDR-AD]

I would sign up and contribute! Even if it was 6000LY away!

We should have a poll on whether polls are effective. That would provide us the vital answers we need.

I don't think that "Majority want's X" has even a bearing on what gets in the Game, so no matter how it would end.... well... pumpaparum.

The meta, it burns!!

Interesting idea, though, OP. heh....

One can only hope that it would have some bearing.

Yep certainly is - it's a tautology like PIN Number etc

You know why it's coming, don't you?

That's right, because people asked for it.

Clearly, therefore, there's no point asking for it to happen in a particular way.

Only if it has the option "I don't do polls."

I think for Beta they should have the final pricing in place just so everyone knows that shipping a Beluga to Jacques will cost 450MCr.

Or a T9 to Sothis costs more than what you make on the return run.... ;-)

Problem is someone is gonna UA Bomb or lockdown the place so not everybody can vote then

It's a pleonasm!
