Progresion is a bit slow.

So I was inside a spaceport making my way to the landingpad when out of nowere my ship explodes without warning. (I was playing solo at the time and I flying a lakon 7 going about 60 speed, it's a big ship so I don't think I was rammed since I'd survie most rammers)

So my fist thout is its a desync error of some kind, then agen it might be the wrath of god who knows.
Annyway I wouldent be making a post if it did't take 3 fipping hours to earn my loss back, to be exact I lost 3 mil dying. (I timed it and it was infact 2 hours and 51 minuts, so about an hour for a mill.)

So annyone else feeling progression is a bit slow in this game? oh and it's not the first time I die to random btw :mad:.
I hope that the progresion in this game gets at lest 2x faster (and even that is on the slow side of gaming) or alot of ppl are gonna get bored/frustrated.

Most consider me having alot of patience but this game sometimes gets on my nerves.

And don't give me that it's not the destination it's the ride , I get along by setting goals, my goal is to get a fully kittid python so that the AI's that can't fly there way out of a wet paper bag just get smeard over my shield when they ram me, so I can bountyhunt in peace and drink my te while yelling "GO BACK TO FLIGHTSCOOL YOU NUMPTYS"

Im sure I will be rammed to death by a lakon 9 comming throu the dockingport in my python one day thou.... but it ain't gonna be this year.

Your goal for a fully kitted python will take a long time.

The game is meant for the long run, not to achieve your high end goals within the first week.

Did you accidently go into silent running? i've done that before
That gets you killed pretty quick if you don't notice the temperature since you're busy landing and stuff

Yeah yeah I get it, I like a slower progression than most games have to you know, but when a game has so slow progression that it sets you so far back thanx to random is were i draw the line.
I guess I should mention that I'm more annoyed by the fact that bugs like this are still in then the slow progression. But still I got kinda frustratid when my ship just whent kaboom.

And to Milky82 I finished the game yesterday but I don't whanna spoil the ending, lets just say the empire wins and builds a big planet destroying spacestation but at the last second it gets blown up by a sidewinder and everything ends with unicorns pooping rainbows and vometing star shaped confetti.
oh whait I might have spoild the ending a bit there errr hur hur dur.... -_- sorry

I lost my ship yesterday to Station defence turrets, they were attacking someone else...I wasn't even the target!
My own stupid fault for getting in the cross fire.

As in all games you have to work for the higher end stuff, making progression too quick/easy would remove the 'game' aspect from ED completely
I think progression in ED is actually easier than a lot of games of this type.

Are you a drummer? they tend to meet with untimely and bizarre ends. But seriously though, spontaneously exploding is a bit unusual, maybe you just crashed? I've done it myself enough times.

To the ones sayin it might be silent running, It wasent. my shileds were up and for one and you see and hear warnings if u'r ship is to hot.
I have been playing sice alfa so I think I kinda know when random happens, this is the first time I sufferd spontaneus critical exsistance failure since release. (happend alot more in alfa/beta)
To list the I'v died to since release 1. going poof in a lakon "type7" 2. rammed by asp while in cobra 3. rammed by asp while in cobra 4. you guessed it rammed by asp while in cobra. Im getting the feeling AI asp pilots can't fly for XXXX or are aming at me.

By chance did you have silent running on ;)

Edit: Just read your other post :(

May be spontanious combustion? Ship style? :D

But in all seriousness that is a majour pain to happen :(

Wow, haven't you finished the game yet, it's been out since Tuesday, you must be doing something wrong.

This. I think maybe some of what we're seeing here is some people who are used to the instant gratification of modern day games, not getting any?

I was landing my cobra a week ago when suddenly I lost the cockpit. as I was scrambling to land as I had 5 mins to do so before I died, I noticed that an adder was leaving. So can only assume it launched, I didn't see it and it did in my canopy. Maybe you did hit another ship. Maybe a type 9 was taking off and you missed it, or didn't as the case may be.
I will also say that 2 days ago while in my ASP I was rammed by a cobra and popped. Full shields 4 pips to shields as was at a nav point. Cobra wasn;t even attacking me just flew straight into me and popped me
