What I actually miss the most is that little tune they played when you got promoted in earlier titles. The game need those little emotional human moments, info screens alone can't carry the day! That, and as you say, the ranking system is rudimentary at the best of times.
I chased it to the end, only to face myself there, with those ageless existential questions.
The promotion system is a straight line, and then there is nothing more. There should be plenty of missions between the ranks. And plenty after that final one. An open ended system. Now it is a a limited and short lived thing, if one should somehow believe it leads to something. Other than that ship! So many possibilities. But they never appeared! And that is, as they say, my beef with the game as it stands. It is perhaps a niche within a niche. But it used to feel a little more involved.
The Great Gates of Kiev.
For now the most satisfying reward in the game is the screen telling you you're the first one to discover (insert stellar body).

Question is much like in Frontier do you get more "interesting" things to do the further up the totem pole you go? That is really needed because right now it's do this do that rinse and repeat regardless of rank.
Good I'm stuck on Lord, I'd hoped to get up before 1.3, but I have that damned Summerland bug and nothing I've done is getting rid of it. It meant I never got a clipper
Hello and thanks for taking the time to answer, but I'm still a bit confused. What you're saying is that after 1.3 I'll still be Lt. Commander and Lord but you don't explicitely say if I'll be able to keep ranking up in both navies at the same time.
By the way, I'd like to take this occasion to thank you a lot about the work you and your team do and the game you all delivered. I enjoy it immensely and I want you to know you and your team did good.
Keep heart and see you in the void, mate !

The double-dipping is not even questionable. It is objectionable!
Point in case, when people gets worried about it.
DJEEB's truth is falacious, FD is doing a fine job; getting things to as high a standard of acceptability before releasing updates is always the goal. DJEEB's opinion was not truth....
(ninjad), sorry Tinman.
I agree Ben; but we have to see how this 'Galactic' system map in 1.3 will be implemented...Perhaps clicking on a region will give a current weekly state of affairs of those systems.
If not, FD might develop that...If so I'd hope it would be automated; and not something that would take a lot of man hours to do. I want FD to keep the rest of the 'kickstart' goals as a priority.
Well since you are not a developer of this game and as far as I know -don't work for FD; your 'truth' is simply an opinion,...as said by others.

Not to worry; even Sandro Sammarco (spelling?), says they won't make any changes in this for some time, if at all.
And you TheoZ are just being impatient, or 'trolling'. Thank you for your 'Opinions'.

Absolutely Rocktopper; +1.
Actually ship position is KEY for mining, if you position yourself correctly (re:- the rotation of the asteroid) as you blast it, the fragments will float towards you so you only need very minor thruster adjustments in order to collect them and certainly no "chasing" involved.
Personally I'll still be mining manually even when these "lazy mode" drones arrive
Good informative post; makes sense.

Deadly, But very fluffy...

Keep at it mate, i got Lord then nothing but the same Summerland one for awhile, but whilst doing the Non lethal weapons run for the community goal(Charity Drive) i mixed it and ran around the closest three or four Empire systems doing missions/courier/fetch food etc for local Empire factions and finally the next one popped up(Baron) and would you believe it the next one a day later (Viscount) ..........dont mean much though as to easy to get(other then for getting Clipper)..... am hoping PP rankings will be more interesting to get
Patience. You want lots of new things to do? 'the expansions'...
I don't mind a delay as frontier still has enough good will from me for it not to me off.
I only ask that you give dates according to worst case scenario. After all, no one complains if a release date gets moved up a week.

Don't worry; they already told you that.
The problem with this is that it never works in practice.
If your employees are told that the internal deadline is at a certain date while they also know that the public deadline is one or two weeks later then I can guarantee that their internal deadline will get pushed to the officially known date. Yes, they could get it done earlier, but since everyone knows that they don't really "have too", well...human nature takes over.
This is especially true in the creative field. It's done when the (actual) deadline hits and not a second sooner.
That bugs that noone could have foreseen might appear out of nowhere in the last minute in complex projects like this doesn't help.
Sorry to disagree but I consider FD trolling us players. Especially when they say that things in 1.2 work in a specific way, while, 2 months after the release they still don't.
You called me impatient. I have a question for you then.
how many months do I have to wait till 1.2 works as it was intended to?
