Full spectrum scanner

[Burke]

I asked on facebook and they told me to post here so FD might notice my complaint

The FSS has really killed the game for me. I didnt much care for space invaders or any of that but the simulated galaxy was to me something quite special. "more than just a game" I dont know how to describe it but it was a good thing. Now with the FSS forced upon us, i find any desire to play is gone. Watching the guys playing on livestream, its so boring... bzz bzz zoom zoom *failed* Imagine that gameplay over and over and over until infinity. Ok i understand that some people told you it was gonna be great and perfect and all the rest, but that still doesnt explain why the old system had to go. Some of us liked it and now feel excluded, please bring it back. Just the way it was, nothing too complex, that way those who love the FSS can use it and those who choose the old way can use that... blaze their own trail etc.

It is ironic that FDev have asked you to post in this section, the
If I wanted a 'radio-tuning' game I would have rather bought an old radio. thread originated in this section and was moved into Dangerous Discussion.

Putting the ADS back into outfitting as a purchasable module would be the path of least resistance imo. For the benefit of any dev reading this I have a proposal of my own here:

A More Advanced Discovery Scanner

So your hundreds of posts moaning about this in the DD mega-thread are not enough?

the discovery scanner changes make the game more realistic, no thanks.

... although it could have been any F B page that came back with that. If it were a Frontier employee then there would be no need to make further complaints - maybe it was just the standard "If you have a suggestion make a post" - i.e. a fob-off.

Seriously, 250 posts (last time I checked) in one thread is a serious bee in the OP's bonnet.

Reinstating the ADS as an optional module would have no impact on the new features, it would not affect you if you did not install one.

Im having difficulty understanding why people feel the need to come to a suggestion thread and try to counter. It was supposed to be feedback but the same disruptive posters turn up. It illustrates the certain elements in this commuity who only exist to shout others down and try to stiffle any ideas that dont match their own. When people are displaying this level of negativity you kind of expect somebody to tell them to stop it.

If you dont like a thread or a subject, dont answer it.

Whenever I see comments like this I never see a reason given why the old system was better than the new one.

So why do you think the old 'honk, look at map, if something interesting spend an age flying to it | else jump to next' system was better?


Because I love the new system, it's got me interested in exploring again.
Whereas the old system for me was about as entertaining as watching paint dry, and I say that as someone that spent most of their time in ED mining.

From my point of view the only people I fathom preferring the old system were those that simply honked and jumped.

I am equally mystified how anybody could like the FSS. Shall we just have both?

I liked the old honk cause i was looking for "stuff" or maybe even wondering aimlesly... It shouldnt matter. With the old honk you looked at the system and decided if you liked it. With the FSS you are forced to jump the hoops before you can decide if you like. From my point of view its just a chore that gets in the way of exploration. I know its probably a bit weird but i didnt mind flying my spaceship around. I really object to being forced into the FSS (dalek simulator )

No way am I going to let you get away with that nonsense.

1. People can support or oppose any suggestion made in the forum.

2. You can't tell people what they should or shouldn't comment upon.

3. Your actual OP makes no suggestion other than a continuation of your multi-hundred posts complaining that you don't like the FSS and want the ADS back.

So if you think I am being disruptive in calling you out for gaming the system to spam your "gimme back the ADS" complaints then you are wrong.

My multi hundred posts are discussing all kinds of nonsense. And they are replying to a number of different people. You are being deliberately misleading and you are trolling me. Im disapointed tbh but i have nothing else to say on this matter.

I suggest you look up trolling.

I was replying to your post which basically said - "agree with me or shut up" and it also cast some aspersions whilst it was at it.
