and it's not hard to see that because they don't "make the game they want to play" or that they "value our time" that their customers won't be handing over their money to them. If you can't even play your own game then why are you even making it in the first place? It shows in what's been developed so far.
If someone from Fdev streams themselves unlocking all the Guardian tech. I will eat my eye patch.

Come off it it's only five hours of effort they are probably giggling at the thread on coffee breaks.
I am quite sure they have given up on this thread at least 50 pages ago.
I am quite sure they have given up on the community much longer than that.
If they ever noticed in the first place.
If I wanted to acquire the Guardian tech more than I wanted to see meaningful change happen to this game I would have gotten them by now.
You are probably going to say something how it is foolish to think it can make a difference. But Shaddup
And I am sure you saw the suggestion to post your journal logs. And I think that would be a good idea. To separate all bias from your reporting

I've thoroughly scienced the whole thing, anyone who wants to dispute my now official thread cannon findings should man up gird their loins and head off into the black.
Attach the moustache of Stalin ship kit to your vessel first as the whole region is now officially Soviet Russia.

I'm not suggesting the imminent demise of E-D...rather an organic tailing off of further intensive development. It wouldn't be that unusual given the lifespan of games in general, waning public interest, declining playerbase...other new and exciting financial prospects in new IP's. As much as we'd like it, E-D won't have an infinite and constantly developing lifespan.
The core will continually be 'edited' with other small additions as long as there is a playerbase, however, I really can't see further massive change to the game once this series of core improvements has been completed. There has to be a cut-off point where throwing development time and financial resources into E-D won't be a viable prospect; I'd suggest we're almost at that point if not beyond it.
I'll still be playing until they flip the switch on the servers, still buying the odd cosmetic bling from the store to support FDev in a small way as a thank you for the game I've spent a few thousand hours on already...You never know, I might well be far of the mark.
Aye, I'll still play, still gripe at the pretty awful design choices as they turn up...at least until something else as unique and engaging as E-D rears it's head
They are not going to terminate Elite. Only kill them down to one Sith Lord.

Always two there are; a master and an apprentice (EA is the master at this kind of thing, I suspect FDev is the apprentice).
Almost at 90!
So how would this stream start. What would they need shipwise to do this? I think they should at least have to make a hundred jumps to get to the site, no starting there. Let them experience the fun of 100 loading screens with the occasional fuel scoop (Which they'll probably forget to take and have to "hack" in.
45 seconds per jump is 4500 seconds = 1 hour and 15 minutes. Of notjhing but jumping.
I'm going to have to make extra popcorn.

I keep checking in to see if i've got two videos to watch, Ed Lewis going the guardian grind and Punished Mobius eating his eyepatch. So far neither of these streams are on youtube, but I'll keep looking for them [yesnod]
They appear right after the Yamiks video where he discovers the spoilers for his T-10 spoilers.
Go look at the SC thread lol
I would be ok with them starting out with a DBX engineered for max jump range (if you don't have one, get it, super useful for a whole host of things) since that is a ship most players should already have IMO. Still would take about 10-20 jumps to get out to a site and another 10-20 to get back.
What I hate of ED is that the only way to interact with the outside world and get mats and everything is shooting your weapons, not space legs exploration inside the derelics or wrecks or whatever. They have to learn a lot from subnautica and other games.
@71st rush - plus one for legs - in the interim look at my thread titled "shoot scan scoop is that all we get" for my suggestion of how to change the lack of interaction you speak of.
shoot, scoop, scan. All the interactions of Elite since release.
And scan its just pressing a button or even waiting pointing in a direction LOL.
