I don't care about your opinion. People are going to whinepost, and other people are going to post that they couldn't care less. Deal with it.
Sure man, I'll lose sleep over it another day. Cheers

Your loss, I wouldn't if I were you.
Let's just agree to disagree shall we
There seems a contradiction in your statement here:
"At the end of the day, I can't get past the fact that I had already max engineered several of my ships and you are forcing me to go through this effort again, an effort mind you, that I wasn't really fond of in the first place, but for the sake of the game I chose to participate in. I understand you've built in a sort of "opt out" so to speak. I can simply just choose not to participate and keep my "legacy" mods in place and call it a push. I contend this isn't really an option. You are asking me to not participate in an aspect of a game that frankly I paid for with hard earned money."
You state you are not fond of the engineer grind in the first place then complain you are being asked to not take part in that aspect by keeping legacy mods. The choice is your as it was for me. I did some again and left others...literally not rocket science.
I see where some your post is coming from but it mostly sounds like a "make game how I particularly need it" complaint. I see them on here often and they usually end with a goodbye I quit.
How can any game developer hope in any way to meet all these demands, personal expectations and needs of what their product should offer to each and every player? It is basically a no win situation as one step forward for one player are two steps back for another.

I'm feeling a bit unsure about that. The shift from credits to materials and data (loot) as the in-game currency made Elite look more and more like those *bleep* MMOs.
I'd rather have a gamified economy derived from normal economic rules instead of the card game that a loot dropping system is. Essentially a loot system distributes wealth randomly but players can increase their chances by learning what type of loot drops at which locations (and conditions) and by spending time hanging around there. Not my idea of player agency.

Yes, the new engineering system is very good... definetely a huge improvement over the old one,
agree 100%!
FD doesn't know balance between Time vs Reward, its a problem that makes A LOT of gamers quit. Who is left? retired folks with too much time in their hands, who spend endlessly grinding because its "interesting" and "fulfilling" for them.
No worries, FD wont know until SC is done and half the community moves to SC and ask themselves why?
I do agree, its a beautiful unique space simulator, but the amount of grinding for EVERY single aspect of this game is just TOO much!
Sadly this is not a troll, its a vocal majority over here.... anyway good post OP I share your concerns and I quit the game just few days ago after long long time of fooling myself.
what this guy said +1 commander o7

Ohh no no, don't give reasonable and plausible evidence that what you are saying is correct.
Fan boys will jump on this and tell you> "well you don't like it, you can quit! Can I get your stufffff... I actually have fun grinding for months on end cause I got no life"
There are two kinds of people in this game, the one's that have the time to endlessly grind forever and ever, and normal people with lives and work!
Obviously the two don't mix and WILL always differ on what TIME vs REWARD means to them!
And yet, there are people who have lives and work and still don't complain. Thinking about it, probably those who complain all day are the people without a live and work.
So who's sitting on the couch in the other room? Should I be worried?
I'm not retired, I spend about 50-60 hours a week on my job and have precious few hours to play games, I play ED, ESO and Destiny 2, the last 2 with my wife. I have never felt the need to endlessly grind any game, least of all ED. I have 3 ships I love flying and none of them are engineered.
As for the SC thing, you'll be retired before it goes GM.
I love the idea that anyone who likes the game must have no job or life! By the way, you can like ED and not be happy with every aspect of it. Things really aren't so black and white you know.
