Yeah, I saw that they have Matchmaking for CQC available in the Comms panel, but don't know if they let you queue and keep playing.
This doesn't make sense. I could take a delivery mission, a cz, a bounty hunting mission or anything and if all of em are far away, it is still a grind because half the time I'm not gonna be engaging with the game but just sit and stare in supercruise.
I totally agree, it's computer game, not a simulation, and many things reminds us so.
CQC is also dead for years, and i think real time in game queues haven't change anything, or almost anything. It need overhaul, some better rewards, to make it fresh and worth your time.
This is just a difference of opinion. I love planning trips for missions. It never gets old to me because I'm doing them in different systems most of the time, and I can double that task with learning about the local planet/moon types to satisfy my exploration urges at the same time. In the base game, you can look at the system maps to see where missions take you before you accept the missions. I suppose there could be improvement there to save a little time mission planning, but IMO it's not that long already. Even without being able to see missions in the system map in the Odyssey alpha, planning 4-5 missions only takes me like a minute or two at most. Shorter after I learn the names and locations of the settlements.
Terrible argument, sorry. The developers are never going to please everyone. SC times are preference. It's not objectively bad game design. In fact I'd argue that it's one of the most brilliant designs for faster-than-light travel in video games I've ever seen.
Absolutely. We're all reserving our feedback on combat flow for that phase. Could be good, could be bad.Ah I see, don't know much about Frontline, we will have to see how Fdev manage that
Most of them aren't that "far away", only those extraordinary good paying jobs usually are. And reason they pay premium is remoteness.
Well if they can make the transfer process interesting for 5-10 minutes (depending on distance) then I could see myself enjoying a game like that on its own... assuming there is lots more to do, of course.
I read a good point from someone earlier. It may be for emergency situations as well where your ship explodes while you're still alive on the ground, and you need an emergency lift to get off a planet
It’s a requirement for physical multicrew. If you get separated from your ship, you need a way back to it.
Perhaps, if they want to implement that the starter level is without a sidewinder. Just suffer through a couple of apex trips for some missions and you're good to buy your first ship.
Will it work out in deep space? That's what I wonder. I'm kind'a all far out there in with my commander, so when it goes live, I'm calling an Apex. Oh, can we use the Apex to/from Colonia? Just get the cab, leave the computer on for a day or two. Hmm....
Nah, there's a max distance for hyper jumps. Not said what it is, but they said there was one. Pretty sure it's bubble only stuff. (that'll include the colonia bubble I expect, but not transport between)
Yeah. Why not. Just the basic tools, and you start with doing some document transports. Buy your way up with suits and tools/weapons/ship. Really, truly, choose your career.
That's true. Haven't thought about that. So a little bit of balancing is in order, I guess?Oh, yeah.
I was kinda saying that guns cost more than some ships.
This wouldnt be hard at all, fleet carriers can already do this, to ANY body in ANY system as long as you have the cartography data already. If they really wanted to they could hand wave away for a middle ground, FSD lock to stars in system, you could even limit this to only systems with clean nav beacons and not systems that sell rares, by doing this the game has streamlined travel inside the bubble without losing its sense of scale. If you need to travel a huge range of LS, you aren't gonna stop mid way through for a random signal source when you already have things to do, just like if you are looking for signal sources you have to SC around the system, it's a simple compromise but masochists will tell you otherwise. Hell you could even disable it for ships that are carrying cargo or passengers, the point is there IS a compromise here between the two crowds, it doesn't have to be one way or the other.
Yeah, I saw that they have Matchmaking for CQC available in the Comms panel, but don't know if they let you queue and keep playing.
That would be a huge plus in terms of getting people to USE CQC
I like the Anti-Interdiction turret idea. A good reason to use crews in Open.
And of course the exploration ideas should have been implemented from the start...
