Question 1: Is Notoriety and its current workings aimed primarily at PvE gameplay, or PvP too?
As regards PvP - Surely there's the issue under the new mechanics a CMDR can still "murder" half a dozen other CMDRs a day, and then simply leave their ship docked in a station over night, and end up with zero Notoriety again. Ready for the next day's fun and games?

Shouldn't this Notoriety reflect the "bigger picture" (the trend)? eg: If a CMDR has killed 40-50 CMDRs over the last week, shouldn't the next half dozen result in a far bigger Notoriety value?


Question 2: Longer term, what mechanic will be employed to prevent mindless destruction in anarchy systems?
ie: The next alien discovery site (in an anarchy system) will no doubt become the next murder hobo site of choice, with explorer after explorer being destroyed for the giggles. As Notoriety is not being employed at such locations, what is FD's plan to address such locations and the toxic behaviour at them?


Question 3: Hatch Breaker
Any plans to make the cargo expelled easier to collect, rather than spread out over huge distances (eg: such as bundling cargo: "3T Gold")? Anyway to scale the amount of cargo so more cargo is expelled from a T9 with 400t, than a T6 with 40t?

Based on the repair-functions for the attacked stations: Do you guys have any plans to extend this feature to maintenance of stations/outposts (e.g. Availability of services, availability of goods/modules etc. / reproduction rate of trade goods or whatever (you see what is possible here :)) ? And are there any plans to "connect" player factions to those stations so they have to "work" for their faction?

(Could be some type of endgame-feature)

Thx

Hi Sandro,

Question 1:
Can we please increase the value of non-murder bounties from 100Cr to 25,000Cr? Now that the IF don't charge a premium, it will be a bit more impactful on criminal gameplay without being prohibitive.
-or-
Can we get the IF premiums back? Just toss in a clearly announced 25% increase?

Question 2:
Something that has bothered many in the community has been the very slow response time in the past to bug fixes, exploit patching and ruleset tweaks, though in current beta (and in past times of absolute crisis) your team has proven themselves to be pretty agile about those things. Can we expect this kind of agility going forward in Live?

Thanks!

Can we get more bank storage. 60 slots isn’t very much with all the new ships and experimental effects. 60 should be 120 or at the very least allow us to buy more storage or have 60 slots at each station.

Agreed there should be some change here, more ships, more engineering, more materials, no more storage? Wut? (you can use ships though to store loads if you can be bothered to mess about...... QoL please).

Have you thought about extending GalNet Radio with adding additional (maybe even player-generated) content or „stations“/channels akin to a „real“ radio-station? Here some suggestions:

  • Talkshows: Maybe hosted by role-playing commanders or devs.
  • Music: I’m sure there are many musicians, who would love to provide suitable tracks for free.
  • News: Cool would be Superpower- or Faction- or System-based Radio-Stations. Local Player Factions could make their own stations /shows. This could even be based on current location of the player to liten to the „station“ of the local faction. The already existing automatic system-news readable on stations could be provided via GalNet Radio.

I know this probably comes with a many open questions like moderation/quality of content, copyright-issues, technical limitations, etc. But imho it would definitely make ED more „alive“ and provide players with options to create cool in-universe content.

Are there any plans to use the text-to-speech tech like GalNet Audio in the Flight Control at starports and planetary installations? I.E. Flight Control calling our ship or CMDR by name instead of the first three characters phonetically?

Do you think you guys have shot yourselves in the foot with poor planning in regards to ship and gameplay balance? It seems like as a company you're unwilling to take away anything or reduce stats on any ship, possibly because of the sort of outrage it might cause. So when you do a balance pass on ships (like the type 7 or the type 10 or the chieftain) you can only increase their stats, never reduce them. This leads to stat creep. As you can see from some of the questions here, when you increase the FSD range on one ship (the type 7), there's an outcry to increase it on another ship (the Asp Explorer). How do feel about the fact that ships like the Anaconda are basically better at everything than ships that are dedicated to that thing, whether it's trading, combat, or exploration?

As well as Neil himself there's a few of us who pm Neil if we get wind of a livestream so he usually updates that list within an hour or so of any FD announcements appearing (i.e. a good 5 or 10 minutes at least before the show itself actually starts :rolleyes:).
