Elite is completely broken and unplayable! Bring the Bobbleheads back!

Dweezil_Moon · Dec 10, 2014

When I entered the beta in 2.[something] Elite had two bobbleheads to chose from and the (looming) promise of more bobbleheads to be bought in the shop. Enter Beta 3 and weird lighting things going on and other stuff that kept people from noticing one very important detail : the bobbleheads are gone!

Can we please get them back? It's not the same without a happy bouncing plastic figurine in the cockpit!

i'd like to get some zero-gee floaty dice

I'm shaking yes, indefinately, for this.

But if it's too much hassle for a bit of fluff I'd rather have them focus on more important issues, bounty hunting / reputation comes to mind as that's my chosen profession.

I want my bobblehead back too. I would also love to beable to take it with me when I upgrade/change ship!

Forgot about those... man, I'm sad now i know its gone.

I've rage quit several times over the bobblehead disappearing. It's why I paid to be part of beta only to see the bobblehead vanish. I'll never buy another Frontier game ever again.

I do miss the old bobblehead, it was a friend in the isolation of space, a companion I could talk to who always agreed with what I said. I miss him but I'm sure he would agree that I'd rather the ships computer voice was repaired and other features fleshed out.

Where ever you are my little bobbleheaded friend, I salute you (but let the devs fix other stuff before they even think about reintroducing you)

Uridium: Honestly, I only noticed a couple of days ago myself

Still, once Frontier fixed whatever must be fixed for the 16th I'd be more than happy if they brought them back, and if just so that they have an additional cashcow in the shop. ("special edition David Braben Bobblehead - for only €4.99 until tomorow")

I'm quite happy they went, I saw them as pointless 'fluff'.

but that said, I am expecting them back in a while.. perhaps via the store £££££.. as long as you can turn them off I have no problems with it.

Were the bobbleheads promised in the KS campaign? If so, surely we are entitled to a refund? The game loses all immersion without them.

There are threads where people make large elaborate gaming chairs and scale models of ships.

Surly you make your own bobble head to adorn your desk/or screen?
I have a small lizard type thing here, satisfies all my bobble head needs..

Edit: I Found an out of game tool that may help

I'd like to see the bobble heads come back maybe as an extra like the paint jobs? Except have a whole range of them to choose from, come to think of it, what about the fluffy dice?
