Got 1,000,000,000 credits-so what to do-scavenger hunt! Enhanced exploration,next year?!??

Starting the road to riches... wish there was more but this is the only Astronomically accurate game out there so I’m staying put- for now.

The stellar Forge is the one feature that I don’t see others implementing even though it’s relatively generic from the map point of view, procedurally less so.
On the Star Citizen form when I mentioned the benefits of realistic star maps I was hit with the ‘hey dude , this isn’t Elite, maybe you should stop playing’

Of course that’s because anonymity is the first temptation- and people are silly dycks, males primarily, and “Love it or Leave it, Flucke yeah!” Is a pretty common retort for the disempowered and intellectually lazy.

Having that said, honk scoop honk scoop open system map is pretty limited gameplay.
I will not suggest improvements- that ship has, yawn, sailed.

Aiming this at the corporate form monitoring big brothers.

When I hit elite in exploration I will move to X4: rebirth and Star C cause that’s a wrap, clear the gate etc... for gameplay using Elite just for video creation.
15 hours of reengineering down, enough of that- my second account sits unused. It was for Exploration but the new engineering time sink, meh, just $20, no biggy.

Bunch of unused ship kits and skin for Imperial... Rep rank wall is too high, another $20, whatever, it is what it is. This after I looked at the Cutter pitch, roll, yaw values- what!?
The Cutter ship kit looked so amazing but it should have been a pie plate cause the thing is a turtle.

My steam shows 1500+ hours, think it’s 1200 ingame screen.
Maybe I’ve just finished the provided gameplay...

Bloody Dinos.

Everything I post here is ‘talking points’ to help FDev give me the game I want.

Every time some one replies with ‘maybe you shouldn’t play, you just want it your way, if you don’t like it then maybe..., we’ll I find it very easy peasy stop whining, Git Gud like I did’
I just assume they are part of the
Vast
Troll horde that is trying to undermine the western information exchange and social media sowing disharmony and creating the need for a unifying “strong leader” who will rise from the East.

Eat my free speech ‘yotch!

You know improvements on exploration are on the season 3 roadmap right ? :p
New features and new anomalies to be found in the deep dark.
 
Think I found your problem. ;)

I don't think the road of the riches is a problem, it's simply a route among many other.
Then again I agree with you. You shouldn't place priority on credit for absolutely everything.

To each their own, of course. What's important here is that the OP seems to be having a great time. :D
 
I`m having hard time to understand what exactly OP wants to say but from what I gathered - yes I agree, exploration in ED is limited and lacks any surprise. I`m elite in exploration, did it mostly with out any trading, at the moment I`m on my way to Colonia honking left and right - after dozens of system I found maybe two worth screenshot ing. Apart from brighter (and quite beautiful) skybox there is NOTHING new out here. Same exact confoguration of planets, same colors, same suns - nothing. After Colonia I want to visit galaxy center, but I already know what I will find pretty much.
 
Get a second Cmdr account and start over again, but this time be the Exact Opposite to your Billionaire Cmdr......It's great fun
 
I don't know what to say, if there's even anything to say.

Minds seem pretty made up, and I suppose that's just too bad.

Elite was never labeled as "Complete". It's been very much a work-in-progress, and while I do get that the work involved takes time to complete, and some have the preconception that because they can buy it, download it and start playing it that somehow means it's all-inclusive, which it clearly is not.

So as much as I wish I could say something, I don't know that it would do any good.

Do let us know when Star Citizen is finally cancelled though.

Look there’s 6-7 decent space based games coming in 2018, this isn’t about games I haven’t put 1000 hours into
It’s about unfinished business and dinosaur projects, smell the coffee

Seems like somebody didn't take his dried frog pills this morning.

Heh 10 words, ran out of steam already.

Hahaha the internet
 
my cutter is worth more, thats just a start [big grin]

That’s really the audience of a few, loosely coordinated posters that see a lack of integrity in the corporate plan - using elite profits to other ends.
Ask how many coders are working on the ed Dev. Vs when the PlayStation push was on, how about the other properties in the pipeline.

Squeaky wheel me boyo-
Squeaky Wheel.

I suggest you do samewise.

Heh, that’s not even a word.

Which ones? Dual Universe who can't even get their alpha get released? :)

Although I am looking towards Infinity Battlefield. I have heard they have delayed too.

Sounds like space game design is really hard.

It's been a very rare experience for me to find a computer game that ticked all my wants. STALKER came close I guess.

The thing is that unless a game can be modified by the players then you get what you're given.

If you have specific detailed suggestions then take them to the suggestions forum, but saying '....this ain't my gamium of maxenjoyness nd smell coffee....' will be very unlikely to achieve anything meaningful.

I get my frog pills on prescription. I believe they come in different strengths. A doctor can advise.

Who cares about 2018? 2019 is bringing the next great thing: Anthem.

Notice how almost all new gameplay involves unlocks with Status bars, they’re everywhere.
That is the gamer exploiting freemium game, micro transaction based game design paradigm that is so cynical and successful. Now maybe it’s more obvious to someone who started on a TRS -80 but like the emperors new clothes- I’ve am amazed so few are commenting on the more of the same offering, the sea of Progresss bars and unlocks- where was that in the Kickstarter?

Already posted suggestions. Really, check my previous posts, it’s like a BOOK!
Remember the anticlimatic unveiling of the Hull limpets, when hope started to fade.
No more free advice. FDev have the development resources, they’ve sold 2 million copies plus.
I’m merely stating my opinion, level of satisfaction having paid and played, both facts can be confirmed by FDev independently.
It is now accepted that the Grind in Elite is planned and essentially pushed until complaints occur then ‘rebalancing’ occurs.

Obsidian Ants latest- of course there are no youtubers supporting the ED 100 progress bar, mind suck, unlock oriented changes- notice how many more progresss bars, they’re everywhere.
Just take an objective look as we slide toward loot boxes. Instead I notice channels no longer playing Elite.

So I’m complaining on their official forum but really that is the most supportive, in house, in the family approach. I could be venting on external social media.

Oh, and I am going to need a few more hours of Re Engineering, but, you know, that’s enough of that- really it great for Exploration- the FSD reduces the number of loading screens between planet falls- for everything else it’s a Ceteris Paribus nightmare.
Weapons higher/ shields higher, prey faster/ predator faster- no real change just a lot of
SCavenger Hunting for Materials, raws and data- all of which have no real backstory, a few lines and a made up name- very thin, low integrity development, just no depth- a mile wide an inch...

I’m still doing my Road to Riches, but December, nah, can’t get more than a week out of the latest releases. Now if you’re just jumping on an xbox, maybe, xboxers, console gaming content standards are rising too though...
#multiple character slots, what’s the excuse for not having at least that?
The food is bland- and such small portions ; )
