If you could make one change to E:D

[znôrt]

Not sure if you're serious, or just having a mirthless joke while agreeing about the utter absence of the career path and my expectations for anything beyond mindless pew-pew.

combat in elite is not really only 'mindless pew-pew'. there are military vessels and several levels of danger, and different combat contexts, powerplay and also now scenarios (i confess i don't know either how exactly those work). i can agree that's not too nuanced and somehow mixed together, and while i'm not sure to grasp exactly what you mean (i've not played fe2 either), it's clear to me that the fact you can be allied with everyone while still blowing up everyone's stuff gets in the way. that always seemed off to me, and i might be wrong but i suspect that's intended: frontier simply does not want you to be able to plan and pursue destruction of factions with that level of liberty and efficiency in their galaxy. they have always been very reluctant to that. look at the mess simple ua hauling could get them into.

although bombing and surveillance runs do sound good, and unique tactics (specially if they affect ia behavior) too. just remembered that trailer with base assaults ...

Want to post more, but unable to so liking your post for now.. just want to clarify I guess that I don't mean to say "Pew Pew" is a mindless activity, rather "Doing pew pew over and over and over, with that as the only relevant activity, ad-nauseum" is mindless.

You can imagine my views of Powerplay aren't very savoury

'Open' PvE separate mode.
Just to declutter the forum (a bit).

Theres so much potential to the game, i cant even decide what i'd change.. maybe i'll post it later! Really curious on your takes!

Do you mean like an alteration to an existing bit of the game?

If so: transit between system suns is properly meh.

Suggested change: Risky tether jumps to secondary suns (using existing stuff like the orrery view etc)

 

[Aashenfox]

Oh this is so easy...

I'd remove any kind of ammo synthesis except basic.

I wish they'd have invested the time they put into CQC into something fun and useful.

Perhaps a mistake correcting mission via Time Machine.

FDEV mentality:
I would change it so that they are more engaged with the community and accept new gameplay and features suggested here rather than adding things that no one asked and only few enjoy

What if I told you that the features and new game play that gets suggested here would only be enjoyed by a few and most people don't ask for it?

While I don't like everything FDEV added to the game, most of it is 1000 times better than the nonsense I've seen being posted on the forums. The only good stuff that gets suggested is usually already planned as future content.

Get rid of the Elephant Butt Leather Dancing Disco Shadows! In other words, hire someone who knows how to optimize for the Playstation 4 to come in and do exactly that with the PS4 Cobra Engine. That remains top of my list.

True but my statement doesn't mean that they have to add all the garbage that we write here. They should pick up only the reasonable ones and most voted that can truly work with their design.

while that would be great i doubt that will happen. hehe

I can't really think of something that everyone would agree with.
The new USS system or mining on the other hand is probably the best thing that was added to the game since a long time.

Can you name something that gets supported by a vast majority but isn't on their to do list yet?

 

[13A/24B]

Small changes, rather than trying to rewrite parts of the game such as;

Reduce Type 7 height so it can land at outposts, and rework the hardpoints to make it a better miner (needs at least 1xC2)

 

[Dogface]

Focus more on story elements and less on grinding.
