Yeah, well, no time control in a shared galaxy I fear. And yeah, I'd love to have less limits due to gameplay choices actually, but then other people scream because in other departments that would endanger their fun. Would also mean no more dogfighting I fear.

TL DR.
Nah, I have oodles of patience. My internet requires it.
Also I'm too laid back to give a .... I won't finish that.

I haven't the patience to read the OP's post. Instead I'll infer what was said by spending double the time reading the replies.
Completely off-topic, but I clicked the link in your signature. Awesome exploration music so far.
what you call patience the NHS calls customers, and too much can cause a crisis.
You mean patience leads to patient? That might sound logic, but actually patient and calm people tend to be more healthy.
Patience, or just a slow burner?
If I want adrenaline, I'll hit up PUBG or BF series. Just a few minutes will get my heart rate up and my twitch-reactions going!
But if I want to chill with some music, a couple of cold beers, and a few hours of engaged relaxation, then it's Elite I play.
Sure, there are heart-pumping moments in Elite, but they're the exception rather than the day-to-day for the "generalist"; trader, explorer, community goal-er... (of course, not if you're a dedicated CZ-er/PvP-er/Grief-er/Elite combat junkie)
I guess it's why I'm still playing with over 5 weeks in-game to date!

Interesting take on it, and very personal. I commend you.
For me it's a matter of the longer the design (not development) arc gets drawn out, the risk increases.
Without a firm commitment from FD that ED will be developed "in perpetuity" (there's no reason that it can't be), or indeed any communication over the planned support going forward and what metrics are being used, to decided whether current support levels change...one can only assume that at some point the "game" that is ED will end. As we go along with light improvement, that timescale gets restricted. I'd like to know what that timescale is, if there is one, and how much time "away from the game" I can risk.
Hopefully, there are no plans for withdrawing support for ED. It would however, be nice to know what the contingency plan is, just to allay "real world" concerns and allow those who have, or are running out of patience...to better judge and decide for themselves whether there are consequences for them based on actual information as opposed to "trust" or "faith". Neither of which are actual currency, in this case. Just ask the KS Backers or LEP Owners.
Beyond being free is a good move in this context, but the actual quality of content has yet to be realised. Fingers crossed it satiates the beast.
You seem happy though. Which makes me happy.

I had, but did not need, the patience to read everything and I was rewarded with good entertainment. Well written, repped.
And I agree: when the time comes that FDev removed all the space-is-big experience, it will be no space game anymore for me. For now it is still THE space game for me.

I'll see your Patience and raise you the most rare superpower of all: (Un)Common Sense.
If someone plays the multi-tasking card then I'm folding
Says the guy playing the Contingency Card.
Here.. let's throw this one out there too and get it over with...
That made me chuckle. I don't see it as a Superpower.
More the lack of it being a weakness.
Apparently... It's all sort of double rainbow!
So the only way to play the game is to bumble along aimlessly, I see. Blaze your own trail aimlessly, without focus or goals. Not my kind of game and not most people's kind of game I'd think.
Jeez, you guys are obsessed with Buckyballing.
Give it a rest
Odd, I didn't read that in the OP.

Did someone say Buckyball?
New race "Chicken Run" coming soon (see my sig although note that we might delay it a week now due to the 3.0 release).

Thanks! I hope you continue to enjoy the rest. If you get a chance, I recommend browsing the Bandcamp website. A tonne of great stuff on there. (no affiliation )
Lol, I diddnt so much run out of patience as Im a very patient man in RL, but it was more of the another forum post telling others how to be. Or was it I dont know diddnt read all of it, but I sort of see where the OP was going and over all agree with the point being made.
But then It was way back when I was running for a Tube train and came hurtlting around the corner and almost sent a mum and her parm flying towards the tracks, since that day I have never rushed to get anywhere in life even though I hate being late, nor have I worried about how long things take to come out, its done when its done and will get here when it gets here.
