Hi folks.
This here is an open thread for Mr Braben to discuss his ideas over Elite Dangerous and the direction it will take. His team have done an excellent job of organizing a solid base universe that we can enjoy. With solid graphics, a decent interface and wonderful music. However. As a procedural universe, manually injecting content is a bit like manually tea-spooning the water out of the ocean. While leaving what is pretty much an empty game behind.
I would ask two questions here.
1: As it is not possible for any company to add content on this scale... Will they offer in the future "Procedural" Content as Well as "User defined" Content? For the "User defined" content of course some sort of sandbox kit will need to be included. Under rules.
2: Will you guys just please be transparent in this endeavor? Otherwise, like many others I will see it as a pointless waste of time and resources and simply delete the program from our hard drives. It really is crap that after all these years that you cant give us a road map of your ideas. (That integrate into a fully online process now)
3: Just because im fed up. Ill add another. Will you ever sort the instancing out? I mean for gods sakes, I may as well go off and buy some planetarium software for all the continuity it gives. Do you plan on upgrading your servers to cope with forming a real "simulation" or what?
Don't mean to be harsh. But the are good questions. For over €100 spent.
