Elenar's view of 1.3 / Power Play

Everyone else has had time to add their view and criticism on 1.3 - so figured I'd add mine. A list of things I'm disappointed in - lack of features etc:

1) Nowhere in the update notes did Frontier make provision for my work hours to decrease with 50%, but with a pay increase of 15% so that I can play more.

2) I still only have around 2 hours of game time in the week - this is not acceptable

3) I pick up weight I lose in the week, because on weekends, I live on ED, coca cola and delivered junk food. Frontier, can you please nerf the pizza & pop weight allocation ratio?

4) There are no modules available in game to mow my lawn - my landlord has complained again

5) My 530d GT BMW can be voice-controlled. But the other day, I said "Arm forward railguns" and the car replied; "That feature is not currently available". Really, sort this out -there are some crappy cars on the road.

As for the rest of EliteDangerous - AWESOME game. I look forward to getting 1.3

3) Id certainly get the new collection drone controller to send some limpets to go to the supermarket to get better food than the junk food deliveries.
4) Maybe if you tweak with the Collection drone controller, you can get a limpet to mow the lawn by "area collection mode" picking the blades of grass.
 
I would like an option in Elite where a message would pop up in the comms panel when the Pizza delivery guy is outside so I don't have to turn down the awesome sounds just so I can hear his motorbike and the knock on the door (I don't have a doorbell) :D.
 
I use the gimballed beam lasers, makes the lawn go brown for a while but the grass soon recovers.

What is wrong with you?!?!?!

Use turreted with a 3" pattern length. How else will you find the time to sort out the food limpets getting you your beverages?
 
I would LOVE to mow my lawn with a pulselaser!! the wife might complain that all the birds are burnt to a crisp and the cats missing... But you can't win all the time!

Slap them in a pie. Make your wife happy with something home errrr broiled.

You are obviously both wrong use fixed beams. You only need to go down at one end of your lawn ( provided that your lawn is rectangular shaped ). Whats more it well get rid of trees, neighbors houses and everything else standing twixt you and the sun ....
 
There's a number of legitimate complaints! No doubt about it! BUT...wow, almost 50 pages about the 10% depreciation change. Give me a break.

EDIT: It's now at 80 pages. God damnit. Time to update my Elite Forum Sanitizer and add a few filter terms.

This is a videogame, in case you hadn't noticed. If you want to be punished in your spare time, there are professionals who would be glad to do so for very competitive rates.
 
Kowboat, I might be new on this forum, but not others. I am certain it is heresy to describe this as a game!

It's pretty real to me. But then, I'm not normal...

Lol, I think you need to punish yourself for calling this a game, and anyway I prefer the amateur pain givers, cheaper and more pain.
