No worries, I just thought you were being a bit silly and looking at things rather one-dimensionally. Makes no difference to me either way though.
Good luck.

Holy hell, yes.
TL;DR but "attitude problem" and "entitlement" spring to mind from the first 25 posts or so.
I'm off to wash my eyes out and try a different thread....

While I do sincerely respect the jobs of moderators, in some cases discussing Star Citizen is relevant in exactly the same way that discussing No Man's Sky or any other game that has Elite-like elements might also be relevant.
No-one can deny that it bears relevance in terms of comparing game elements, and the posts I've seen here do mostly compare and discuss game elements that are specifically and directly linked to Exploration - i.e. planets, and the rendering thereof and the fact that SC may well look better, but it's not actually a game yet since it's still in development, those all seem very salient points to me.
While I completely disagree with the Op, and not just what he's saying but the way he says it, I also respectfully disagree that discussion of those specific elements of SC should be off-topic in this case.
Yeah we got goids now so nobody cares about exploration I get those huge black patches on planets play your way be what you want ....... mining lol [where is it]
'Core improvement' has become a completely meaningless term. We have a faster and longer route planner and better mission boards, but some will argue it isn't 'core'. Its a bit like discussing 'depth' or 'immersion'. Just fluff terms.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Moribus again."
Well, bully to that.

Well, this is a novel variant of Open Letter and Kickstarter
You want molten liquid worlds?
Much respect for this post, especially when to simply not post is the easy solution o7
Does anyone not?
Fair point.
Though I was trying to get a response out of OP as to what his vision entails because that picture is quite vague. xD
Nah, every single commander in the game uses the route plotter, I'd say that's about as core as you can get. Like the system map and how it should be an Orrery Map, every player of the game uses that too.
Great news Dale - here's hoping the whole of the core Elite experience gets a really nice buff - thanks for listening and posting.
Really, where's your proof, or is this purest madeupium? And in any event, even if some may say this, some people dismiss climate change. And they are palpably stupid and wrong. So, merely having an opinion doesn't make it valid or worthy of discussion.

It's in the 2.4 open beta notes. Read the part in the spoiler wrapper.

Since this made it to the open beta, it is extremely likely to go live.
I hope you're not offended by the fact that this made me chuckle. A couple of times earlier in the thread I was this >< close to asking if you'd had a few scoops, mainly because your angry tone and increasingly staccato punctuation started to remind me of the e-mails I used to find in my Drafts folder (never in Sent, thank the maker) the morning after I'd been on the sauce.
+1 for copping to this. If nothing else your thread has precipitated a half-decent discussion on exploration that wouldn't otherwise have happened. I was particularly impressed by the thread that Zeeman linked to, something I hadn't seen before.
I won't drag the thread further off topic with a bunch of fatuous recommendations about stress, but the fact that you've recognised it is a good thing. Take care.
While I do agree that exploration is extremely lacking, and overall having a 1:1 recreation of the milky way seems like a waste in a game where exploration bogs down to just staring at empty things (which in turn got nerfed meanwhile), I must say that the overall tone of this OP does not help the exploration cause at all.

You make a good point about SC relevancy (which I didn't mention)
OP apologized, thread # 139, I think
I must be playing an entirely different game. I'm blown away by the graphics, and I'm playing on a measly PS4 Slim. I also spent many years as a software developer, so I 'see things' and know just how difficult those things are to pull off - things like the incredible render distances as one approaches the surface of a planet, spherical geometry in general, dynamic self-shadowing on all mesh geometry, etc, etc.
So while I do think exploration needs better game mechanics, and that the beige botchup must be fixed, I'm utterly impressed with what Frontier has achieved so far.
