I hate to rant but this one has been going since I started playing ED.
Galnet announcement are all and well, but they are few and not always up to date for conflicts.
I frequently flew 200Ly only to find the damn system was PA-CI-FI-ED. A sad sight after you travel without cargo in a combat ready ship.
There are sites who register conflict zones, but they have the same problem that Galnet has.
CZ should last a couple of month at minimum. When was the last armed conflict on earth that lasted only 3 hours/days?
As for CG, relying on a thread maintained by players on the forum...
Because I don't have the time and leisure to search the 40 billions star for a skirmish or something exciting to do, it is often "ah well. Back to trading, at least I will make some money".
It starts to feel like a chore. "Don't forget to earn some money and take out the trash".
I think this often materialize into "IAMBORED" post later in a CMDR career...
Casual cmdr will then quit to play something else for a while some never coming back I am afraid.
Hardcore cmdr start having dark thought like "I should ram that sidewinder or that fuel rat... that will makes me a prat, but at least it would be a laff".
So. I have a day off. Should I launch ED, or the Witcher... ?
Right now, I must admit, my ships attributes can't fight against Triss Merigold's...
