Is there a point to this?

You should have listened more closely because 'we will say this only once'
I like to think of the point being one of balance; this community has a very active user base, many come with very valid and constructive critique and not to mention super feedback to FD. Others, not so much.
For my part, I'd like to put this post in the +scale.
"People said mean things about the game, better make a thread about how good it actually is to smother any doubts!"
This is some Reddit-level of posting.
I believe the point is " this game is awesome, " nuff said . Go pollute a hater thread and leave this one alone .
Is it so bad to want some possitivity in the forums. With a loud Vocal minority Hating on everything. including the things they loved only month ago.
I loved the forums Pre- Powerplay. Now its hard to stand it. it used to be about sharing your exsperinces and talking to others who like the game.
Now it seems more Akin to hating on a siingle aspect and letting that poison your opinion.

It functions as a counterbalance against the whiners and complainers.
This game is awesome, I want MOAR awesome, and some awesomer awesomeness, that would be awesome.
I concur with the positive sentiment!
Was out at a nav beacon this morning, bagging pirates on a mission for some Imperial faction, when I unwisely took on an Imperial Clipper alone. I took some damage, including to the canopy, but stayed in it. Then he got me again... and smashed the canopy entirely, leaving a gaping hole in front of me, with the oxygen timer counting down.
I diverted power to the engines, managed to escape the madness, locked onto a station and - BWAAAMF! - I was out of there. Had to navigate towards the station using only the console instruments, but it looked like I was going to make it... until I realised the station was on the far side of a planet, and my engines were auto-slowing as a precaution. Had to keep forcing them up, and as the planet passed below me and I gradually neared the station, it was now touch and go as to whether I'd make it.
With about 1:10 remaining I was finally within range - I came out of cruise, accelerated hard, got docking permission and raced for the entrance (no nice safe, wide approach this time). At the last moment I turned in, lowering the landing gear - which was a mistake, as it slowed me down too much, and I suddenly saw I only had about 12 seconds left. I kept turning towards the entrance, and with five seconds left desperately punched the throttle...
4... 3... 2...
"Atmosphere restored."
One of my best gaming moments ever. And I was running away!
So yeah, this game is awesome sauce.
