You're right, I never play and post on the forum at the same time.
How many of you don't play anymore?

I'll put my hand up for this. I haven't played since last November really. Just waiting on the content (ship interiors, planet landing etc.) to push the game forward, its content the game badly needs.
.
But I'm patient and can wait some time. I'm waiting for the six month threshold (from release), because after that I begin to think this is actually it and it won't go much further. The only space game I'm playing at the moment is Space Engineers, but really I'm back to the Arma series to be honest.
.
ED is going to xbox one anyway, I suppose that's their main concern at the moment. In one way its good, because if that raises more interest, they might start getting the content some of us are waiting for, done and out. If it doesn't go well, then its another story perhaps.
.
We'll see.

Same here. Time is running out, because no plan for the addition of real content is observable...
The console crowd is going to tear frontier a new one if the game is released in this state. You think these forums are toxic now? Just wait...
too busy working on the xbox release no doubt, yay more quids for FD.
Most depressing thread ever.
It seems a big problem for people these days, is imagination. Frontier gave you a sandbox with a few tools and limitations, and all everyone wants is more strictly defined rules, more pretty tools, and more "FUN".... The reality of it is, it's just a box full of sand. Make of it what you will. Use your brain, use the tools they provided you with (with more on the way) and make your own fun. If you CAN'T, this is your own personal problem, NOT FDEV's.
This being said, I am not a white-knight, and personally have my own issues with the game itself, but instead of coming on here and complaining that theres "NOTHING TO DO", as seems to be echoed quite frequently, I just find something else to do, or I stop playing for the day. If you burned yourself out and straight into boredom, again I would say this fault lies with you, not the Devs.
Personally, I have NOT STOPPED playing since release. Took one week off, because of work, and came straight back. I'm also not a grinder, I'll do ANYTHING to keep my life in the stars from feeling like a grind. Seriously, I'm in space, and I can fly around freely, I've been waiting for this lost genre to return to gaming for the last 10 yrs. I'll take my time, thank you... and not pull the stupid grind-thru-to-the-next-biggest-ship-cuz-theres-no-other-progression-in-this-game whine.

Once it dawned on me that every activity in the game revolves around earning credits, and nothing to do with those credits outside of getting more/better/bigger stuff to be more efficient at getting more credits, I stopped playing. Haven't really played more than an hour in two months now. I'll come back in a few months time and see if there is anything meaningful to do then.
I haven't played in a very long time, and the console announcements kind of make me wish I had never bought this game. It may seem petty, but rarely do PC games continue to thrive once the console ports hit development. Chances are I'm almost completely done with the game, but that's not to say I didn't have fun in the beta while it lasted.

It's not really a sandbox is it. You can fly about, trade or fight/bounty hunt. There's no depth to any of the very limited interactions.
But actually to get real space flight without load screens to the next area. I play Space Engineers, fly to infinity (if you have the time), far more of a sandbox, in-fact its way beyond ED in that respect.
I play for a while each day, until I start yawning.
I mostly yawn while in SC. Then again scooping. I yawn a little in Hyperspace. Yawn when interdicted by a non hostile Navy dude.
Sometimes yawn while mining. Yawn while waiting for a USS.
Oh and while waiting for the FSD to charge.
Of course not forgetting trying to find a bounty at a Nav point.
Occasionally I get scared and excited while bouncing around inside the toaster.
Some CMDR said hi yesterday.
Then I killed some AI.
I still play. I yawn more.

To be honest I am VERY sick of the argument you used here. The whole imagination thing. Imagination only takes you so far in a game. I mean I could release a game with nothing in it but a big city that you can walk around in..and then use this very argument. Like if I released a GTA type game..but with no NPC's or anything else, just 12 cars to drive. Then I could say, use your imagination to create content.
Do you know how stupid this sounds?
No offense to you, but the whole imagination argument is just tired. I am not saying imagination shouldn't come into play to some extent..but it cannot replace lack of content.
Stopped reading right there champ. I get it, the games great, it's the players that are rubbish. Right?
This, it was fun during the initial learning curve though, can't be bothered to open up the game anymore though as I can already think through what is there to do, before I open the game up, which puts me off from starting it up at all.
I will come back at a later stage, to check it out again, I am sure.
That is about the extent of this game, and that is not a good thing. That would be like having a driving game with empty roads, with nothing at the end of them, and saying it's a great game because you can drive anywhere.
It's box half full of sand, and a broken simulator that might as well be a static universe.

I would love for FD to implement some kind of notification for players in these forums that actually own the game. I think we have more trolls then posters. IMO of course
Irony, right?

It was the imagination thing, wasn't it.
