FPS Combat in Elite will be like this
- Thread starter pato
- Start date
But possibly more like this:

A lot of people who came here to fly space ships agree. I have played FPS's for many years and for FDEV to get FPS done properly and up to the standard of current games would require an entire new team and almost a new game, it would be a huge investment of resources that would basically bring the rest of the development to a halt probably for years. If the new era is a FPS addon basically we would still be stuck with the game exactly as it is now, with legs and a few combat locations, who wants that?
Hope not, if humans can absorb that much ammo then it would probably take one hour of constant shooting to down one Thargoid.
PVP takes a good 10-20 minutes in elite and you expect legs to be different?
I think it will be first person view only to keep the game immersive. Third person view is nice, but it makes no sense. Maybe a third person view could boost sales of cosmetics. If there is a third person view it should have limitations to prevent cheating. There should be a virtual reality option too.
Yup. Humans are not space ships.PVP takes a good 10-20 minutes in elite and you expect legs to be different?
Nobody. That's why I don't think elite feet will be a tacked on FPS.
When space legs come, if one day you encounter another being and need to shoot it down, you'll be able to do so in one shot. The whole challenge will reside in meeting anyone else in the first place
Don’t forget the materials gathering

Hopefully there is stealth, I want to sneak into Bill Tuners base and the steal the Tuner class ship blueprints. Spend billions building my own shipyard than finally building the ship.

Just wanted to point out the thread says FPS which stands for first person shooter, and then you post a video of a third person shooter.
No FPS for me either, that doesn't mean I am against shooting weapons though. For me it's mostly a matter of focus. I don't want Serious Sam for Elite. And even Deus Ex involves too much combat.
Ideally I would love to see a game like Blade Runner, where you just use your weapon once in hours (in terms of game time...). But when you use it it's quite deadly, loud, and a decision that can't be undone.
I don't understand why most games always need to throw countless hordes of enemies at you.
No, it will never be as smooth and fun as Division 2.
