Yeah, it's been confirmed the most important content update since ED's release (even if i'm still a bit worried about engineer's mods, but time will tell).
Same here. Great Update.
And please dont give in to those 50% forum whiners. people should adapt and learn. putting the grind-mentality aside and having fun (with some long term goals).
i agree there are many good things in this and am glad there is a positive thread about it. i acknowledge also there are some issues occuring which the AI thread is covering (i think it less AI and more a bugged npc weapon mod implementation somehow) but i love the missions. love the traffic control voice at major stations and some outposts. love the pictures with the missions and the things they say i feel more immersed with them like im not alone in solo mode.
im not yet convinced about the engineer mods themselves yet mainly because i dont see how i can get any mats that need mining or srv since i cant risk using them - it reduces my ability to do the other things i need to do to cover my repair costs now. plus i cant think of anything more boring than mining or driving an srv and shooting rocks. i want fun not a chore. and the mods im offered simply seem like compromising one thing to strengthen another thing (eg shields better stop kinetic and worse against thermal when modded). i need things that are stronger with no drawbacks atm. like many npcs seem to have now.
would love if attacking npcs also had a picture and audio not just text, but i understand this would be maybe difficult or just low priority. i remember wing commader when you would hear pilots say 'thats all she wrote for us (static)'. darkstar one has video comms. maybe that can be sometime in the future. although the line you can say 'darkstar one here. die!' was sort of comical.
