Seriously? ... Another "Why can't this be like that other game thread"??

I would mind, I'd rather we gave them the full 10 years + to make their own game their own way with their own character, I don't play elite to give me a fix for another game. I want distinct experiences not a mish mash of generic titles that all do the same thing in the same way.

Reinventing the wheel never works out well.

Nobody is asking for a copy/paste of another game, either. It's more of a "ED seriously lacks in this area. Look at games that handle this issue well, and see if we can apply the ideas into ED somehow."

Take crime and punishment, for example. EVE handles it very well. It is extremely beneficial to look at how that game handles an issue ED completely falls on its face with, and see how to apply those ideas within this game. Attacking someone in high security space should be a very, very bad idea.

Given ED tell us nothing, how do you know they're not working on it?

Yes, that's part of the frustrating thing about them not telling us anything, but it also means that any complaint about them not working on something is just speculation and unfounded in any actual evidence.
