True, like most of the suggestions for fresh new engaging gameplayI wont make any suggestions for travel options as they get put in the "NO" gallery rather quickly
If time invested is greater than the reward it's grind.
I for one just want my gameplay now. The one I could play before engineers and is now gated behind them.But on what metric do you equate time invested versus "reward'.
It just sounds like, and I'm not being derogatory, it just sounds like "I want my progress NOW".
For me, I find that my enjoyment and reward is simply from playing the game. The progress thing is neither here nor there. It isn't why I play the game. It's nice to see progress, but not the raison d'etre for playing the game.
My own analysis of people who ask for progress more quickly is that they don't appear to actually enjoy playing the game, and need some placebo awarded to make up for this lack of enjoyment.
Does anyone actually realise that the fundamental concept behind the progress within the game (for instance, the entire rank structure of gaining Elite status) was SUPPOSED to take a verrry long time. It was created to tick along in the background, while you just enjoy playing the game.
Sure, any player can short-cut the time it takes to gain Elite, just by making the game a grind for themselves. I question, however, how much "fun" that is and how "enjoyable" the journey?
Crystalline Shards. All g4 mats except selenium, in abundance. Fill up completely
What's this?Raw materials are no longer an issue. If you're still relying on driving around looking for rocks to shoot, you're doing it wrong. Better alternatives:
Crashed ships (e.g. Bug Killer). Three cargo racks containing g4 mats, refreshed on logging. Do a few laps, then trade.

Mmmmmmm......delicious grind.....
Back in the day, us old timers did our grind & what's more we damn well enjoyed it. You kids can grind and grind and grind and you will like it

How long will it take? I'm asking because yesterday I bit the bullet and visited such a site and found a grand total of maybe 4x3 units of yttrium in about a half an hour. No way I'm gonna spend another 10x30 minutes to fill up just that one material.
What's this?
Did you visit a biological site? You should find tall spikes that are supposedly "built by bacteria". They work like geological sites, except that they only produce one g4 material. So if you're in the right place, it's ALL yttrium everywhere, nothing else (except for the occasional "cobble" that you can ignore).
You don't need to play in open if you don't want to be ganked. Another choice.
None of that is needed. It's something you want. CG are a choice. It's a game about choices. Choices in what you do and choices in how you go about it.
I have engineered ships. None of which I have had to grind for. I have participated in CGs and not done any grind. I have helped my BGS faction without the need to grind.
I choose not to grind and I am loving it.
But then I enjoy flying me ship so I don't consider that as a grind.
If you find everything in the game to be boring, uninspiring, tedius, then it's time to play another game. Maybe ED is just not the game for you.

Why do you ask me? For all I care you do not even have to fly your own ship in that kiddy game. Press L to land, W to win, P for phun, enjoy!Why do I have to land my own ship?
As I said the only reason to grind is to get something you need.
Again you do need to grind for that. That is your choice. You choose to grind for it and then blame the game.

Hey Frontier, NMS reduced the grind and all players are happy. Please take note.
