ED is missing out on play time from occasional gaming

It can be legitimately called both flying and travelling, whether it is boring or not is a subjective matter. Ultimately, ED is not targeted at the instant gratification crowd - that is more for the likes of Star Citizen and certain other games.


Your argument is totally without merit IMO and is the common cry of the instant gratification crowd. :rolleyes:

That is disingenuous. You pretend that there is nothing between 'instant gratification' and 'enjoying loading screens for fifteen consecutive minutes followed by SC straight-lining for ten more minutes'.

If you want to make a counter-point, address why the long waiting times with zero gameplay are perfect and need no change. Or concede that the ratio gameplay vs waiting needs to be improved. FD already did so themselves...

Hardly, the moaning of the instant gratification crowd perhaps could be considered disingenuous... people complaining about min-max ganker builds not being able to be transferred quickly then also complain that the same ships could not make the journey quick enough (if at all).

If you think that loading screens is all there is to the travel system then you are missing out on the exploration elements of ED.

I'm glad you've conditioned yourself to believe you are flying with the bare minimum of input. More power to you.
As a representative of the instant gratification crowd, I'm going to make a bold prediction:
Fast travel is coming.
I don't know if it's going to be jump gates, portals or wormholes, but it is inevitable.
You see, I remember having similar arguments about the pitiful jump ranges a couple years ago. Low and behold, engineers, synthesis and neutron boosting came along and everyone accepted it and moved on.
You can bookmark this post for future reference.

At this point if a small number of jumpgates were added dotted about the milky way but were written into the lore I could live with it (not saying I want it).
But that is something which could be written into the game sensibly
Instant ship transfer however cant imo
