Dear FD, I'd like to politely ask that you consider making "Silent running" matter more.....

This. The game Starshatter had separate Emission Control 'Emcon' levels [1-5] which altered what ship systems were on (such as active scanning), which in turn, altered observability. E: D with it's short weapons (favouring lasers and guns over missiles) and scanner ranges never really gives stealth gameplay any chance to shine.

Yea exactly stealth gameplay as a Bounty Hunter/Pirate/Smuggler just fits, too bad we don't have it

I miss the iced up cockpit as well. Theres only one way to have fun with silent running now....



... Find a player from one of the more vocal pirate factions. Interdict them. Hit silent running , engines off & drop a heat sink on leaving supercruise. Follow them around so close you could reach out and tweak their engines.

When the supercruise away keep on doing it until you run out of heatsinks.

Watch out for the bad language in chat and rage posts.

I miss this. I really miss this. I mean what the hell was the point in removing it? they made the game WORSE, and let you smuggle with one button. bring back the old style silent running with iced cockpit, make it required to do it to smuggle. because at current you flip a switch on. and that is pathetic.
