REALISTIC PATCH NOTES 1.4|| Can this patch fix the game in a short therm?
- Thread starter Zaerion
- Start date
Actually, to be perfectly honest, more than just moving to private groups I can't think of anything that would kill this game quicker than removing the mode I suspect the majority of players actually use.
Why are you insisting on turning this into EvE?
Granted idea on the shield cell banks is good, and adding favourites to locations... but that's about it really.
The rest is just EvE'ifying everything.
If your original post goes down, don't try to bump it asking for responses, it's clear most people are simply not interested.
And creating another thread, which is practically the same as your original, again, waste of everybody's time.
FD will release patches the way they see fit. They do not want this to be a first person EvE online. And it won't ever be.
Things like:
I could go on... all of this is trying to turn it into EvE.
The only people who want this are EvE players with EvE avatars and the likes.
Please, just no.

I dont see where you see eve here, but what is amazing is that 34 people have voted and nobody likes the game as it is now.
Tweak a cobra to make it faster than a viper? no, no, no
Other stuff I like.
+1 for effort.

no... tweak it to make it slower in normal speed ... and faster in supercruise, read it again.
a pimped out cobra now is faster than a viper pimped out , wich makes no sense.
Easily doable enhancement... When targeting station where docking is outside hull, once you get docking permission you'll see your landing pad's location shown on the station's picture on your target screen as it's picture rotates there. Would save some flying around time and searching in case it's not shown right away on your side of station.
Also would nice to see landing pad's numbers painted on the floor as you can't always see those yellow floating numbers. I remember wishing that much on my first docking attempts... In my first flight I was almost destroyed as I tried to land on the pad that was on the opposite wall of the chamber and time ran out
Later on, some stealth mission into heavily armed enemy camp would be fun.. Stay undetected or face sure death.

Why make the same poll twice? Not satisfied with the outcome of the first?
You can compare the points and you will see that is clearly not the same list of modifications.
Please please stop trying to turn Elite into EVE or some other MMORPG. Crafting?!? NO NO NO god NO. Mine Drones NO, but in Frontier we did have Mining Rigs that you could drop onto a planet or Asteroid or Moon and leave it to do its thing. But you ran the risk of someone else finding it and stealing the contents.
Some of the Chat facilities in Open/Group play does need improving, but as I like Solo play I'm not too bothered yet and whats this crap about removing Solo play? Thats just stupid. That would cause alot of players to move away from this game.
If you like EVE so much go and play that instead, please. Stop trying to change a very different game into something else. Besides there's E.V.E: Valkyrie coming out soon, maybe that will be more to your taste.
All I can see from this post is you want to not have to do the labour intensive stuff. But thats what ELITE is all about. Accept it and suggest things more in keeping with how ELITE is played not how EVE is played.

This. Get the cowards back into the game. I'd also like to see Groups go away too if and when the other multiplayer aspects like wings are introduced.

Have you read? where do you see crafting? an explorer finds a bpc at lets say 1000ly from home and you bring it to a station and the station build it up for you , where is the crafting? call it bpc or call it "weapon that needs to be made by the station".
But yea is way better to explore pointing systems all in supercrise boring to death, with no incentive to be exploring rinse and repeat rinse and repeat wow this star looks amazing ok , after 500 systems you will keep saying to youself , wooow this star looks amazing!!??

What the hell are BPCS?
You know that the compass points directly to your landing pad? However, the numbers painted on the pads would actually be quite a good idea.Easily doable enhancement... When targeting station where docking is outside hull, once you get docking permission you'll see your landing pad's location shown on the station's picture on your target screen as it's picture rotates there. Would save some flying around time and searching in case it's not shown right away on your side of station.

This is a blue print, you find one of those of a weapon or a new module and you bring it to a station and the station build it up for you for a price.
one thing i would like to see is some form of drone not just for mining but a general retrieval drone that has a max range of say 2km you target what goods/ore you want and send it out to collect stuff(once out of range it shuts down) requires "bays" to dock the drone and can be destroyed by enemy fire really easily and requires to be purchased again at a station
and people dont say "oh no i dont want that as that ruins MY way of playing" its not a replacement its a new feature if you wanna fly around with your giant ship picking up pieces of rock that are 5-10 meters big then be my guest but in a game where we have faster then light travel and its the year 3000+ it seems a bit illogical to not have some basic drones
as one could even make it so that one could trade with outposts in the biggest ships by means of drones transporting those resources from a 5km distance which would leave it open to be intercepted by pirates
so often in quite a few forums for a lot of games i see idea's being pushed down by people saying "i dont want change" by saying that it does not fit their playstyle and that kind of thinking really should be left outside of a suggestion topic of any kind instead give points as to why an idea would not fit in that game
say the blueprints i can see it having some advantages but at the same time right now it doesnt fit not until there are more types of weapons and ships and more specific kinds that can be gained only at certain stations and such if that ever gets added
the chat functions? when i joined i started playing in open after all sidewinder with no upgrades so no worry about dying and to my surprise never saw a soul and never saw anyone say anything in chat which made me think that no one played in open until i read up on it and realized why it was so quiet for hours on end so thats something i would like changed like a system wide chat next to faction related chat that has either announcements of faction related info or players being able to send faction related info around at a cost
just my 2 cents of thrown together ideas as they came up

You don't see where I see EvE?
Blueprints? Mining Drones?
Come on... don't be so blind.
And as for your voting, Funny how a lot say your ideas are not what are needed.

I doubt that the majority of people who prefer to play solo are 'cowards'.
Many people love Elite, but the reality is that there are also many people who simply do not enjoy multiplayer, and have no desire to play it. With the solo option being available it allows people who prefer to play on their own to still experience the emergent changes in the player affected galaxy without having to worry about human players whom they don't wish to encounter. This is a play choice, which is entirely up to them, nothing more. For the record, I prefer to play open play.
Money transfer is bad and good at same time.
+you can give money to your friends
-it create farmers race (like in EVE online - pay 15$ subscription, use bots and take out $100500)
Rare BPCs is also volatile thing. They can substitute every standart thing if they will be more powerful than A rated. Like in EVE online now - titans crowds (something like type 6 with "i win gun") substitute all the others apex forces.

But in multiplayer you are always have players to deal with, who are always a step ahead of you. So many do not want to mess with them.

Solo game may be hard or may be easy.
