So here's a link to a potential solution I have. Posted it in the Recruitment part of the forums: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...n-empire-alliance-players-please-read.532343/
Ignoring the context of a recruitment. The thought behind it was to create a story campaign by basically having a squadron dedicated to putting a Federation context to their actions and mission they run in the game and to work together. From a story perspective. ...Is this the only way to give more meaning to the lack of depth in Elite Dangerous? I appreciate the sandbox approach of FDEV...I really do. It gives me freedom to do what I want in the game. But honestly...sometimes its hard to just have the context for my actions be in my own head. I know this is what many commanders say, that if I want a story I have to create it in my mind. But is it possible to create something as a community?
Or is it a hopeless long shot? Given how everyone has their own lives and the only people willing to stick around are people hardcore dedicated to making lasting impacts (ie PowerPlayers and BGS pilots)
I want someone to knock some sense into me. Am I trying to look for meaning in this game and create what is really on the developer to create? Or is this something I am going to just put in a lot of effort into if I want to get it working well?
