Obsidian, do you plan on doing any guides on the new missions for horizons?
Been flying around for ages failing them, having no clue what I am supposed to do or where to go.
I don't understand how new players are supposed to learn when they have no clue what is even possible in the game. I have no background in Elite, so this is all new to me. So far all I do is trade and it's getting really boring. I need some variety!!! I am going nuts.....
I wish Fronteir would not disguise so called game challenge with grindy game mechanics. Where is the fun? games are supposed to be fun, there is none here.
Great guide Obsidian. Your guide got me giving mining a go, but..... I can't stand mining, as much as I tried doing it, I have to admit mining is rubbish. Worst game mechanic I have ever seen. Zero fun, only annoyance and tedium to the max. I got nothing but frustration doing it. I would be mining along all nice and dandy, chunks popping off all good. I send out my first drone, grabs it, comes back, all good, send out the second one, explodes for some reason, send out third one, grabs it all good, returns, then send out the fourth, explodes, fifth, explodes, boom, boom, boom ,boom they all go until I used up all 20. The fact that they have a range limit and a life limit is just really annoying. I mean with the technology in the ships we have, why are we using drones that last seconds lol???
After that I head back to base, re-buy a bunch of drones and head back out. Same problem happens again, I try to get as close as I can to the asteroid chunks so I can preserve the life of the drones. This makes no difference, a few drones collect fine, then booom, boom, some work randomly then eventually I have run out of mining drones. By this point I have just said, F it, I just close my bay, leave all my rocks floating in space, head to the nearest station and sell off all my rocks in my hull and sell off the equipment and back to trading.
