Patch Notes Update Elite Dangerous - Beta 6 update
- Thread starter Zac Antonaci
- Start date
Thanks Fdev. Always the same handful whining about engineers rng, but they would have you believe everyone hates it, funny how that works.
Jesus guys, slow down - if you carry on at this rate there'll be no bugs left! And then what will we have left to gripe about?

Because they didn't spend months developing a new game system just so that no one will need it after a couple of weeks, which is exactly what we would get if the vocal minority had their way. If you want access to better equipment stats put some effort in, just like everyone else will have to.

"- Massacre skimmer missions should give you negative reputation with the mission giver"
I don't follow this. Are you saying "Massacre" is going all Rambo and is not following the construct of the given Mission?
I think you're saying that you gain negative reputation with the local faction that the Mission Giver is against and you do it just for the cash/thrill?
You refer to Massacre in Conflicts too so I'm confused here. A Wrinkle is offers from other NPC text?

"We are also working on a couple of new options that will give the player a deterministic way to influence both whether an experimental effect occurs and which effect they get."
Good news. It should just simply be the more retries the higher% chance the engineer will get it right. It shouldn't take more than 3 tries or they are pretty crappy engineers.

Confirmed.. can land now no real issues. I still think its not quite right though, on occasion seems a tad ly but im just being a perfectionist I suppose
Looks great!
I look forward to Sandro's explanation of how the RNG will change. I was mostly fine with it before. I just wished the animation looked a bit less like a roulette wheel.
My main worry with a changed version, as mentioned in a different thread, is that it's just less fun to wait for a binary outcome. I know many people want exactly that, but then the result boils down to "Will I get X or not?" You're either completely relieved or frustrated with the result, and there are no shades of grey in between. Personally, I think it's nice to have outcomes which might not be exactly what you wanted, but are still interesting and make you try something you might not have otherwise. But I suspect I'm in the minority...

Yes indeed, but the problem with the vocal minority is that they are very vocal. FD should had completely stuck to their guns and stop pandering to these people who want everything to be black and white so they can instantly have all the best equipment and then moan that they're bored in a couple of weeks. Same old as what happens in every other MMO.
We need something bro.. I would say that I think for those with more time than others this is an opportunity for Frontier to create a player market place and economy. If we could package up modified items or the components might make for something interesting..
Then it's a "people with more time get better toys" system, and breaks it for casual players.
Same chance every time I hope, so the game doesn't become restricted to people with hundreds and hundreds of hours to spend just rolling for weapon FX
I knew it. Now let's see how we are going to get and especially our desired special mods. They can just as well be expensive as long as you get what you want and they then automatically persists when you roll for new stats.

Rather than have to grind at finding resources there should simply be a small limit on how many mods can be made to any ship. Fair to all players - casual and grinders.
