Power play... quite... disappointed

See I stopped playing for awhile since im quite burnt out and pretty much done everything I want to do... and I was hoping for 1.3 to bring me or us something epic but... im gonna be honest... isent it just the community goals just slightly different and other perks. I was hoping for something big. Anyone else?
 
For myself I think it's the patch that might bring me back.

Not experienced 1.2 yet (wings) so 1.3 (with more things to do) and what seems to be the start of giving reasons for actions.

I have been vocal about my displeasure of FD over time, but I have to say this for me is quite epic / good.

From reading the newsletter, no it doesn't seem like the current community goals.
But it's free, so you get to try it for free.

Can't argue with free.

Why are you posting that here? You should have gone to the press or Hello magazine and let them have the scoop. Mind you, I'm sure everyone will be grateful for this exclusive.

Yeah, FD mentioning the FREE part was disturbing.

1.3 will be good as it will give players an alternative beyond that of upgrading your ship as the only driving force in the game. Now we use our pride and joys to actually change things.

Yeah your right, even though we can change things now, it just wasn't obvious to the masses.

The background sim is just not promoted, trade/fight/explore are the only obvious features. This patch looks to change that.

Okey...what were you wanting instead? what kind of things did you want? try elaborating?
 
Powerplay will be fun after a while, when one single remaining faction ends up occupying the whole of populated space. Imagine: no empire, no alliance, only federation. Or no federation, no empire, only alliance. Or none of the above... Yeah, that will be a whole lot of fun. NOT.

All I want is passenger missions.

Hopefully, the missions will provide a reason to own and maintain smaller ships or unusual roles too- for example that of smuggling in reduced profile Sidewinders.

But OP: try it before writing it off.

There will always be room for FD to split a faction if it becomes too powerful. A little story about internal dissent and power struggles is all it takes.

Anyone else quite dissapointed with this thread? I mean its not even out yet. At least try it out before you judge. Personally I'm really interested to see how exactly this will work!

The only disappointment for me was no ETA in the announcement. Other than that, I'm quite looking forward to new mission structure and drones. The rest I find kind of 'meh', but not rubbishing it.

Yeah, that too. It does mention troop deployment although doesn't confirm anything. Here's to hoping!
 
It is certainly an improvement of the CG system, and that's doesnt seem to be a small one at all or a bad thing, it may make a big difference in the game, and there is still this mission revamp alongside it. Plus many details we havent seen yet. It may very well be the end of the 'you can only make money in that game' 'era', you can actually get involved and change something in the galaxy now. Well we'll have to test that first of course, but to me it looks promising, i wasnt too impressed by CG in 1.1, but there it looks much more appealing, well i'm probably not gonna sign up on Patreu's Sides though ^^.
