I don't mind how it is too much, i think the countdown gets a bit repetitive and if it were removed I wouldn't miss it.

The only problem with travel i really have is time taken meeting friends who only play occasionally etc, I can usually get to them quite fast if I'm in the right ship, but often if we need to meet in a different location, I'm left twiddling my thumbs waiting.

I think it would be nice if we had some sort of recall/hearth stone/wormhole to certain locations like where events are on or some sort, or your "home" base etc. I think if you had to drop all missions and cargo and you would lose discovery data etc before you could use the ability, it wouldnt be too cheaty, but can see it has potential for abuse.

I don't have much issue with Witchspace as it is, I'd maybe like to see a slight difference in time depending on length of jump.

I think the current 'jump to a star' is very flawed, given that there are usually more than one star in a system. I would like to be able to jump to those too.

I don't have a problem with autopilot, as long as it takes a little longer to travel than manual jumping. Maybe remove the jump counter if doing it manually.

And the abruptness of leaving witchspace is intentional, as you are not in 'normal' space, so seein your destination appearing would not be accurate. (as much as you can be in a game...)
 
If I start honking a lot, I have to turn my Yamaha Amp down, otherwise my TV, and other stuff, starts walking. I probably have the base up too high and... don't laugh now.... I don't play with my hearing aids in so perhaps the volume is higher than what others might consider "normal". I have tried headphones, but without a huge woofer, I feel I am missing a lot.

When inside the bubble, yes... easy cash isn't it ?

At the moment I am honking a lot as I am in the exploration mode, and usually honk while scooping - multi-tasking is my thang ! :eek:

I don't mind it. I was looking for barnacles peeps first started looking then gave up went for a trip to LHS 3447 next day someone found one and the CG started so did a 20 jump trip back to Maia, took 45 mins but was fun. and the route it took me was different to the route before so had some nice data to sell at OO when I arrived.

Hold on whats honking? I thought honking meant jump scoop jump repeat. But above post I am not sure.

We need a thread of terms cause you youngsters with your hip names and cool acronyms making me feel old ;).

Maybe Honking means playing ED without showering for a few days.
