First off kudos to everyone who worked on Elite. Great and fun game with a lot of potential for improvement.
My best buddy and I are beta backers and have been playing more and more since the release. But we can't seem to get together or stay together in either private group play or the open play. One of us always disappears and we are both back to solo play. We both have fast internet connections (20+ Mbits). So I'm not sure but it's probably something from the server side.
But the real problem is that even when we do find each other for a brief amount of time, we cannot form a party nor play together as a group and do missions together. I'm sure those functions will be added somewhere along the line, we just hope it could be fast. Group play is so much more fun.
Another thing is the reputation problem. The problem with hitting the security vessels by mistake while shooting at wanted ships. And then becoming unfriendly, and minimum 5k Cr bounties fines
Credit earning wise each bounty hunting ends up 3 steps forward 2 steps backward cause of fines and reputation losses.
Maybe something like cross faction reputation can be added so that if you attacked Federation ships or do some other illegal activities in Federation space your Empire reputation could increase bit by bit.
The comms, both text and voice, at the moment are also either not functioning (getting error messages) or 5 seconds or so delayed for some reason.
So I think the most important thing that surely needs to be in the game is the ability to form a party and the ability to truly play together with others.
Thanks.
