what better way to lay the foundations for Elite Dangerous 2 (haha) than to set humanity up as a real underdog instead of everything being star-trek'y (but with absolutely no value on life)?

Just let ED set the stage with an unwinnable war that is as epic as ED allows.. . then fade to black. meanwhile, develop a new ED without all of the garbage that hindered the first one from the ground up (perhaps by ditching cobra and just heavily modifying another, much more actively developed engine). Learning from all of the mistakes in the first game and avoiding them in the second, getting rid of the dead weight people who made the bad decisions in the first one.

It could happen. Or are we saying that such a turnaround is less believable than raxxla? Cuz i think if you found the stats, the chances of players finding raxxla are probably still less than Fdev making an ED sequal that improves on the first ....probably. i'm like 78% sure those stats swing in the sequal's favor.

No, I'm of the firm belief ED as a whole is hostage to twee explorer types. For ED to truly live, they have to be put into a side annex.

Yes... The cheque is in the post too...

Are you another "Unreal Engine X" advocate? Actually, I doubt I need to ask... Silly me :ROFLMAO:

it's amazing how many things can be solved by 'just' moving to another engine, it seems to be the standard response on the internet, often by people who haven't got a clue.
I supposed it worked well for Scam Citizen - they moved engine, and managed to ermmmm - ah yes, scam evermore money from people :)

Seriously, not this again.

There is already one over late project that has tried to use another engine after another and it's still in Alpha with no release in sight before the 3300's...

Sounds like someone has been getting into the magic mushroom brownies again?

Unicorns, dragons and perfect spaceship games, OH MY!
