ED Feels different...

Greetings all,

I have not played since 1.0, but thought I should come back now that Power Play has settled.

ED feels a bit different though. There are a lot of positives(Better graphics, easier mission tracking, all the new content).

But...It feels like it has become easier.

Like with 1.0, I wiped to try to experience it from the beginning, and my first mission in a stock Sidewinder netted me 76,000 credits.

I seems to recall that it was a titch harder to make money before.

The other immediate thing I noticed is it seems that docking is easier. Did they raise the minimum velocity needed to dock? It seemed to me I was locking into the pad at at least twice the velocity I used to.

Its still a great game, but I fear what I call the WOW(World of Warcraft) Syndrome, where eventually there will be no skill left, just pretty pictures.

Yes to both!. Making money is hugely upped since launch.
Docking way easier now. Collision damage reduced, magic magnets pulling your ship to the pad.

They buffed mission rewards, which is good because they were completely worthless before. They also buffed bounties. Still I reckon the fact that you have some game experience already probably makes a big difference.

I do have a few months of experience, Beta, Gamma, and 1.0, but strictly as a casual player, and I never considered myself more than an average pilot(Except for docking, I got pretty good at that:cool:)

There were quite a few convenience fixes.

Overall I think it's a way better game now, although the powercreep in moneymaking does not keep up with content. I hope the BGS update in 1.4 will change this.

It's definitely easier. Though if you think you're good at docking, try it with Flight Assist Off. ^_^ Whole different ballgame.
