Hey everybody,
I am new to the Forum, this is just my second Post. But something got me wondering while I was reading the Discussions. I read a lot of "this game needs more content" and stuff like this but I am missing something far more simple:
Basic social features (I know, Wings are planed further down the line). I mean stuff like emailing other players ingame (not just text chat them or voice Chat them). Making friends and foes along the way, maybe trade amongst other people, sharing credits, sharing targets on the Map. For example, for now I need to tell my friend the next jump, but it would be easy to just target a Star and then "submit" the target to another player. Get a little more "mmo" feeling in this since we are allways on anyways.
I would love to interact with other players over this vast Galaxy. Maybe someone stole my bounty, why not post in the ingame bulletin board a mission to hunt this guy down, 10000 creds for the one who brings me his still smoking engine. Or I am strandad somewhere without fuel, no scoop. Why not let me broadcast a distress signal. Maybe I attract someone with a load of fuel to help me, maybe a Pirate who would like to see what kind of cargo I got...maybe both and a fight breaks out between the pirate and the helping hand and me. These are the things I am missing so far. There is a solid (and loveable) frame Frontier developed for us, and I think if we would be able to fill it with content, we all would benefit from this.
Maybe these things are planed and I just could not find anything about them, or maybe a Dev will read this and say "yeah. these are things we need" or maybe the community just reads them and says "Hell yeah, these are things we need" and maybe we get them. Or maybe most people say "Nah, I am happy on my own, I don´t want to socialize over whoknoshowmany lightyears".
Just my 2 cents to "Things ED needs".
At ease Commanders, and back to you your ships.
