No, I think you're spot on.
As of now support didn't resolve my issue and i can't upgrade to 1.02 due to data.ovx failing to validate.
Can someone be willing to send me his data.ovx file (only 1.2m) found under
\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\Win32\
if someone is willing please PM me for email/dropbox etc

Spot on, mate. I will be damned to see people trying to turn this game into yet another Skinner-box-equipped treadmill.
Do. Not. Want.
My point is that you would look differently on the game if you made your credits the hard way. I dont condem players for using the exploits, hey did some myself buhhuw. My point it that how you do things changes how you look at them. So someone crying over high upkeepcost of his Conda may have 0 rep with fractions an dosnt get big wellpaying missions.
The point is that i would like to Know if the IS currently something that is worth the repgrind with a mainfaction.
Completely agree.
I would love to see the niche of long-range mid-sized hauling filled, myself. The Type 6 and the Asp Explorer with their good jump range and respectable potential cargo holds lend themselves to long-range cargo runs... so long as there's a type of commodity that can be acquired in bulk and carried long distances for a profit. For that short week where rares were available in large quantities, these two ship types and anything similar to them were perfect for the job. Most of the people who want to see this sort of thing don't care if it's nowhere near as profitable as it was- that wasn't what kept me doing them, that's for sure. Balance everything, but I thought the idea of having long-range runs with moderate-sized loads was a satisfying role. As it stands, the long-range capabilities and moderate cargo holds of such vessels just feels like wasted potential.
Again, the issue of having us dock too many times which I mentioned previously is something to be concerned about, which is the current problem of trying to use such ships for rare commodity trading. If a different type of commodity or trading was used for those sorts of ships, I think that would be nice. Just something to act as an alternative to short-range trade runs, at the very least.
so just blow off 99% of the PC gamers
100 hours is still a LONG time for a game not counting mmo's with endgame
with most games topping out at 20 hours
100~150 hours seems like the where i would balance things around
I was doing this, after experimenting with many other options and being in & out of multiple different ships/load-outs. FD just took away my current "do what you like the way you like" for no good reason.
Jepp, it aint 1984 anymore (well i was 2 at the time so flame me).
FD did a fine job of recreating the old elite with modern hardware. From what i can get from the forums, most of the old players are happy with it.
From the point of an modern gamer however it lacks something.
Same her for me too, Got the error yesterday, patched with the file link in the forums, and it worked perfectly.
Log in this morning, and it's the same again.
Spot on, mate. I will be damned to see people trying to turn this game into yet another Skinner-box-equipped treadmill.

Not what I want this game to become either.
The irony is though, that right now the game seems to have been implemented in its current form with one, and only one, goal which is to accumulate credits and you do that by running the threadmill for days and days and days. And that. Is. Just. Sad.
I really hope there is more in the design and in the pipeline that will mix this up.

I know what you mean. I wanted to be given enough credits to buy every ship equipped with the highest grade equipment right off the bat, and Frontier won't let me do that either. It's so unfair.
You might want to check when your video was made SlickReed. That video was posted December 9th and happened during Gamma 1.0. The Rare fix happened in Gamma 2.0 and made this video "evidence" of yours completely obsolete. Please TRY to keep up with what is actually happening in the CURRENT build of the game and not try to make false points by referencing outdated and irrelevant data.
The thing is that as you progress to a bigger ship the opportunities for making CRs stay the same. Probably it could be changed with bigger hauling missions, for example have 2 delivery missions at the same time one with 64 tons another with 32tons and have inevitable interdiction on the way then you can't take 64 one in a Cobra, you can take both in Type-6 but escaping the interdiction will be difficult or you can take 64 one in ASP and just kill the interdictor on the way. Payments must be proportional.
I suspect Micheal would be fine with the waterboarding of some posters
Are diamonds really rare?

The frontiers are currently devoid of stations. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see new stations crop up across the entire frontier with everything in high demand. The further you get from the core of civilization, the higher the base price is regardless of supply, so that trips from the center to the frontier are more lucrative than trips from the edge to the frontier.
They've described new outposts showing up. That would limit it to l6 and Asp cargo ships, no L7 or 9 could land there. Just have to wait and see how they implement expansion, but I have hopes.
Any news when the galaxy map will be unborked? Still can't switch it to "map" mode, make it show fastest routes, hide grid, etc...
hey Michael,
This is my feedback.
I've been playing since the start of beta 1. I have been trying to figure out how to make decent credits to get to my current dream ship (my personal goal is the clipper).
I have been having a hard time figuring out how to do so, I was doing the rare trade runs (Eshu to Hecate) until this update, but this is not a rant about why I cant do that now.
Over the beta and gamma testing, I began to notice that players are clustering in certain places in space, nothing wrong with that, we all have to have a HQ some where,
so as I was sitting there flying around in space (currently in the Pleiades nebula) I had an Idea hit me.
Why not have contracts? I know there are the BB missions, but I am talking about contracts where you deliver x amount of products to one specific station.
example, wolf 110 needs food, you can get a contract to import 1k tons of food for x amount of credits, or perhaps a contract to supply rebels with weapons etc.
I know I would love that, also a contract could have a time limit as well, we need x amount of stuff in 72 hours or 1k tons of food in 7 days.
Contracts wouldn't have to be limited to the commodities market either, there could be contracts that gets people out there in space,
for example, Eshu has a contract that has you go scan 10 systems in the veil west nebula, of course those types of contracts would have the
"Contract fails upon ship destruction" clause.
That's my feedback. Love it, Hate it, just my thoughts on it all.
