Yep - they just need to make Powerplay only happen at Beagle Point
Then the explorers complain.Yep - they just need to make Powerplay only happen at Beagle Point
They're gonna do that anyway
Don't force me to be diplomatic with you.They're gonna do that anyway
Are you, by any chance, complaining about my post?

I wish to debate about it. I have... solid arguments.
+10, as the like button only works once.
What is going on in this thread. I think yesterday's wendyball has tipped people over the edge.
Who is Wendy, and why did her ball tipped people over the edge ?
Is this related to football ?
Mhh, maybe I should rephrase that.
Brother @Rubbernuke this is indeed a comprehensive and unarguable post....Well, outside dirty drives and a few other blueprints FD have ignored making engineering a tradeoff or an actual choice. Dirty should be hot and nasty, clean cool and stealthy. But that links to ship balance, and a need for cool running ships (such as stealth). All of this can be done with balancing and is free 'new' gameplay thats sat in the numbers.
Commodities themselves could and should have flags in them, and do (such as illegals). Its a case of Frontier better leveraging the BGS and the elements that interact with it.
I disagree. FD now think everyone is a hand holding, juice drinking 40 something. Its like the choices they made for the holo adverts- 'friendship drive charging'- see the sights etc. Its blinded FD to the tone of Elite. Its only very recently CMs and FD have woken up to the fact its a problem.
LOL! I needed a laugh
Its started out better in some ways, because it was actually a hard thing to do that required planning. Plus I can elvel that argument at Powerplay, since it was launched unfinished...........and remained unfinished to the point where its an imcomplete feature.
It did start out with way more. But it has not lasted, and over time parts (piracy) have been taken away, along with harder Powerplay NPCs. We did get consolidation though........which is a new layer of voting and utterly thrilling (that in some ways made Powerplay even more static).
The actual nuts and bolts of Powerplay are incredibly basic. 2014 level PvE, some out of date bonuses and.... not much else.
You have a whole galaxy of things to find, which if I remember right is part of exploration. Moon surfaces have been 'improved', life on surfaces as well. Add to that its been a steady amount of progress, unlike Powerplay which was 1.3 and then a few later micro updates a few months later.
Indeed. What FD need to do is to give it a complete game loop.
Sounds good.
Its down to ED having four leads over the years and not continuing the same 'vision'.
Great points, well made, good ideas...
Just one thing.... so, are you in favour of ditching powerplay altogether? Perhaps improving powerplay with planetary kale farming?
Just curious....
Talking of balls, I'm sure my 9 Iron dropped it into this long grass, but I can't find it. Think you can help? It's only the 5th hole...
More to the point, if Wendy has balls, I think we should be fore-warned....
Why ? Lots of women like to play with balls. It's perfectly ok.
I think of footballer and the like.
I think I found Wendy's collection.

She comes sometimes but don't post.
