Hi, left two years ago before Horizons because I got bored. I see Elite dangerous was released now for 4 years and in 4 years of development, it doesn't seem like it's added a whole lot to actually do. I think if anything Elite recreated the actual game from 1980's really well, but a bilion systems to explore probably isn't as nostalgic as it might have been back then. Probably the only IP to re-create a game with new techology so faithfully.
Anyway, I was wondering if it is even viable to return. I always played in open. Now with the engineers thing, it seems I can't compete with other players or NPCS because of mods. Am I basically all but forced to grind to get mats for modding? Ordinary shields and ammo just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.
Why don't they give elite a player market? Whereby players who collected that stuff and got the final product modded, could sell it? That way the only gateway to getting this tech is cash and not just spending hours flying to find it. So there's several different ways to achieve the goal?
