Finding a greater purpose with exploration
- Thread starter sebbemann

Alot of SC content which is both implemented and pending, like eva, to repair the hull, or eva to a space hulk to explore it on foot, is begging inclusion into the elite exploration content.
Along with towing ships, salvaging ships etc.
I realise this content is "done", by other games but that's no reason to deny the content from elite.
Also fleshing out black holes as dangerous, nebulae screwing up the ships innards, debris collisions, fleshed out planetary landings on waterworlds elws, etc. List is endless..
I was corrected by @varonica as to why elite is called elite dangerous, but I really think it should be more dangerous. Not just from a pvp perspective, but exploration, mining and so on.
Out in the black is a safe place....too safe, too predictably safe.
Also think carriers should incur damage whilst out in the black.
Space is a very hostile environment. Let's make it so.

Well, it kind of makes sense that ships have a ton of built-in safety features that stop them from eg. flying into a black hole, or any star for that matter, stopping it before it gets too close.
Of course that being said, if ship power is completely off, that shouldn't work (even if the safety features computer were run by an emergency battery that can't turn off, it still can't run thrusters and the FSD), but anyway.
It depends on what content you are referring to. Some of the stellar streams are populated in the game, but not accessible due to distance. Ghost Giraffe and his video with tech support's assistance comes to mind.
Regarding the Stellar Forge, I would think that is more a matter of devoting resources for the new procedurally generated content. The bigger issue would be anything that had to be hand crafted.
I would welcome all those actions while out in the black.
You want Fdev to make more dangers out there. Then the same Fdev would have to deal with a flood of tickets created by whiners about lost ships due to exactly same dangers.
No one sane will do that to themselves.
If they did introduce new hostile gameplay as previously mentioned, and it's well documented, discussed etc. Then whine.. ticket, it'll goto deaf ears. We can't slow the games progress with "real" additional content because some cannot cope with it. That's just not fair on the vast majority that would welcome the reality of what we all know space is, the most hostile environment known to man.
