So I checked out Elite after ditching it for Star Citizen
- Thread starter BluStar
- Start date
The entire planet surface is nothing but a skin (composed from several layers)
In legacy that skin was generated in a less realistic manner, which allowed for some really crazy terrain features
in Odyssey, they used a more scientific approach - obviously resulting in less dramatic planets (however the crazy ones were really rare in legacy - most of them were much more bland than what we have now in Odyssey)
And the starforge is not really dealing with the planets skins, but with stars (and planets) masses and orbits and physical characteristics - those were not changed, only the way the planetary terrain was generated
I wish I could have meme that about
Except for that person, other than me, reportedly somewhere in the Caribbean, who knew something was amiss -
Elite Dangerous should be renamed the Dangerous Cult, such is the devotion to anything that dares interfere, like waves on their ocean view;

The "scientific approach" has resulted in easily identifiable features repeating. That didn't happen with ethe legacy version, which also generated the more interesting terrain instead of the levelled and averaged crap the generator outputs now. Science isn't worth much if it is meant to be fun because it's a game. Science belongs in educational software maybe. They used the "scientific approach" to lower computation and ease performance so they could put some more triangles in the graphics or some unimportant nollocks like that. End result is you get more boring, repeating terrain than before. But you have a pixel more in your fidelities - what a great deal...
Every game has its ardent defenders who spend a lot of time propping it up. Equally though, every game has its ardent detractors who basically spend all their time crapping on it.
Oh yeah... I totally forgot about Space Minecraft!

Yes, very true, it was just the numerous emotes that garnered such a "worldly" responseThe cult allegation could be directed to many gaming communities!
From everything known about Chris Robber and Clown Imperium Games' modus operandi and the abuses and trash talk perpetuated by SC's fanatical fans that populate their forums, your reply would make more sense if it was changed to:I wish I could have meme that about

Maybe you are mixing up the conversations of one forum, with the ones from the other...

I would be interested in a totally clean save, playing by myself. No explored systems.I notice a lot of people wax poetic about the older Elite games, yet they also say they would not be interested in Elite Dangerous if it were a single-player game...

I am. So is Duck. And, Mole HD
I just thought that your vastly idealized interpretation of events concerning SC, was hilarious!!!
Therefore, the numerous emotes. I almost fell of my chair laughing, as I realized that, after 10 years (!!!), there are still people who could believe that such "project" is NOT a total scam that will NOT perpetuate "Alpha" stage for ever.
Group Therapy.
Magnificent.I have far better things to do than surround myself with a group of people with nothing better to do than sit around moaning, groaning and complaining about a video game; especially one they refuse to quit playing.
In other news, DCS is having a 50% off sale on some WWII aircraft. I picked up the P47 for 25 bucks.

I laughed so hard, it's impossible to type.....
And after a few minutes.... and another glass of Masset. I do apologise for using the words Cult and Dangerous in the same sentence, as I do enjoy a good red
So, mainly, ex-players?I am. So is Duck. And, Mole HD

That, too.
That's actually not bad. I messed with it for a bit. Got it on sale on Steam for 20 bucks a while back.
The only thing that makes that game annoying is how they have this old, 3D glasses, red and blue outlines on everything effect. It wears on your eyes after a few minutes.
