Since a lot of people complain about this game, I thought I would say something nice about it.
- Thread starter deckroid
- Start date
Complaints are often the hallmark of a passionate player that wants to see their game improve.
Same thing with bands...I might follow a band as a "fan", but that doesn't mean I have to love every album they release or I stop being a fan. It just means I think a bit of the work they did was crap (I'll generally be mindful of at least being crap in the name of experimenting), and that will be the kind of feedback that comes across as more striking to an artist than a hundred pages of "Luv it like all your works <3"
Elite is worth improving. If I didn't think a game were improving, I wouldn't have a forum account for it in the first place to complain with - and this is only forum I've ever really been on, aside from a one month stint in the Bungie/Destiny forums, before I realised there appears to be no intention of actually improving the game.

As do i. And if we spent HALF as much time flying as we did loading and watching, this would be a great game.
Alas, its mostly a screen shot generator with a side effect of increasing the value of netflix stock and pumping money into LG and Samsung for the second monitor to watch it on.
It must be boring jumping from system to system constantly if that is all you do?. Luckily I don't do that, I actually play the game, which means 90% of the time I am flying my ship whether that is in supercruise or in normal space. Never needed Netflix or another monitor (VR user here) as I haven't really gotten bored.
I suggest playing the game in a different way then the obviously boring way you are now.
Superb game, and haven't gotten bored yet after nearly 3 years. Looking forward to 2.4 and what lays beyond.
Bind your left/right joystick or mouse control to roll instead of yaw. It makes a huge difference.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Of course. I would wager that most developers want players to give honest and constructive feedback. Nothing is perfect after all.
play elite on bbc micro. that used newtonian physics. i remember being attacked and we got one shot at each other as we passed at high speed. it took 5 minutes for each of us to slow down using full power, so we could actually head back at each other... for another fly by strafe. dull as all hell. so all your game examples - the very very first elite game was there doing that first back in the 80s but UNLIKE your games braben dumped that model for something that made for better gameplay. dumped it so fast that the zx spectrum and amstrad games did it a lot better in the same decade. frontier elite II i did not like the semi conscious explanation for speeding up time. it didnt feel right.

OW, somebody is cranky... must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side. This is a simple thread about saying something nice.... your techno babble doesn't hurt anything but it does distract from the theme of the thread.... this is not trolling but a simple view of someone who likes positive threads.

ED is a great game, however still need a lot of polishing, that being said, as someone who is not playing it, I just went to the store and spend $35 USD on "stuff" why you may ask, because despite all it's problems and issues, it's still a great game and I hope that the things that is annoying me, will be fixed soon so I can go back and enjoy the game.
PLEASE give us an NPC Helmsman to remove the grind of traveling around in the galaxy.

I also like flying in space, and I love being able to go onto the surface and drive around. I enjoy searching planet surfaces for salvage and looking at all the different mountains and valleys. One of the coolest was being on the surface of a moon going around a ring planet. It was so cool seeing it fill the sky from the SRV, very breath taking view!
LOL too true, also if you are complaining about the audio you can turn that off.. Never seen a video game that had as many Audio settings to customize it the way you want.
"Every real space craft that ever flew, from the 1950's til now, is vastly, inordinately, incomparably faster than your pathetic go-faster-stripes fully-pimped ED submarine-in-custard."
Really, LOL you don't know what the real speeds of our rockets are... no where close to the speeds we have in Elite (Ah can you say light speed).. if they had a ship capped to rocket speed.. you would have to come back to your PC years later... just to get to the edge of the solar system. From the surface of the planet to the moon took 3 DAYS! Yeah the ships in Elite are SOoooo much slower... LOL Really? :S Talk about talking out of your butt!
Just another sad depressed human looking for a target for their rage.. the post said a positive tread.. great I am going to try and ruin it... pathetic behavior since their argument was one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
While I don't agree with him (because fly-by-wire is a very real thing and would likely be used in science-fiction space flight), he is talking about normal space, not super cruise. Our ships in normal space are slow, but it offers better gameplay.
