I think they made that and no one liked it.
Seems like EVE is space games' Godwin point.
I think a fair chunk of the people (trying to) participating might disagree on the "fun" part.
Also, have you been on an organised expedition? That kind of mass event is not new.
Bravo. Well done.
There are two ways to eat
Swallow everything brutally, greedily or taste slowly appreciating the subtleties and flavors of the proposed dishes
Some eat a chocolate tile by crunching it and swallowing the pieces, others suck the chocolate tile to melt it and burst the taste buds

Elite is indeed the beautiful lady with no mercy.
Personally Elite like most other games has a player problem!!!!!!
How many games have delivered “everything” that “everyone” wants and wanted?

Merciless brutality mostly arises from mindless boredom.
Content as such is not missing. On the contrary more and more content gets added. narratives otoh are missing. And i don't mean point A to point B narrative with a princess to save. I mean decent handplaced missions and information at roughly FFE level. Really anything that would occasionally interrupt the continued Elite universe sinking into the background and fully giving way to metagaming and a mere weapon physics sandbox.

From a time when games were hard, and failure was the norm. I remember spending lunch money on Ghost's n Goblins and the like in the 80's, It took a lot of failure before I finished that one, only to realise you need to do it all again!
Z...
The fundamental issue is that any meaningful narrative would not fit with FD's commitment to the "single shared universe state" principle. That single point is what makes any meaningful story content focused on the individual player on the most part not feasible.
The best that can be achieved in that area is the current community goals mechanic and similar.
Depends on the game and what the given gamer expects from it, but in the main it is a fair assessment.
Just look at the X-series of games to get a feeling for the general implications of meaningful building mechanics which starts to get old below the nominal 2000 hr threshold. Similarly for FO4, with its settlement mechanics. Or Skyrim with it's houses mechanics. The Vanilla options I am talking about here - not including mods. With mods - the situation may be somewhat different. Add mods to ED and that would have to be solo/PG mode only with no linkage to the online single online shared state - I do not see that happening any time soon.
For me personally, I think the current approach to ED (with Horizons and ignoring things like the Ram Tah missions and the Tech Brokers) is good for several thousand hours if not more.

You marry her anyway so..
Dingleberries in my local parlance means something completely different. What the Aussies would call 'Dags' on sheep's wool. But for people...
And there lies the problem. Some people took habit of expecting. The word see the most in threads like this is "potential".
The most unhealthy approach to a game is to expect something the game isn't. Yet it is a norm in modern gaming industry.
Yeah we call 'em dangleberries but sounds like the same thing!
*Sings*
"I've got berries that dingle dangle dingle as I go riding merrily along!"
I`d say that the norm is that developers spend millions of dollars on departments whose sole purpose is to lie to customers, sell them half truth sprinkled with PR Bee-S, over hype their unfinished MVP "we`ll fix it later" product as second comming, all that while taking money up front, and then they are salty because people demand what they were sold (and fanboys come to the rescue)
All I ever expected was the game FD talked about and sold me during KS/beta period*** but instead delivered a game that isn`t
*** you know the one with, ship damage models, where you can look through the hull and see the cargo inside and steal it, scavenger hunt gameplay, meaningful black markets, the game where just by entering a system I instantly know where i am just by looking at it, the game where there is a sense of familiarity for each system, the game where I instantly see a system state by just looking at fights going on around, blockades being set up etc, a game where after completing many missions and getting high rep I will be visited by influential people and introduced to some higher up`s/secret societies etc. and will get special missions from them, like high class escort missions etc.....you know... the very very exciting richness Braben likes to constantly dream about, and promise but never delivers

I'd still say that Frontier is doing better than some others, but other than that, yeah, I generally agree.
