With all the changes - and the Chieftain - on the way, I figured now would be a good time to take another look. Especially since I was excited to learn about a combat CG. In a High Tech, Empire system, no less.So I fly there. Only 3 jumps from my home base. Figured I would buy a combat ship when I get there. I mean...high tech. And Empire. Maybe grab a Courier. Or Imp Eagle...
But no. Of course not. Neither of these are available. Nor are Vultures.
so I alt+tab out...try and remember the name of the website I normally use to find information Frontier should have made available in the game literally years ago...and then I have a sudden realization:Its Friday night, and instead of playing a game, I am looking stuff up on a website, trying to get to a point where I CAN play.
Then I logged out, and loaded up a game that actually WANTS me to enjoy it.
I just thought I would come here and leave this. In the admittedly vain hope it will make a difference. Enough is enough with the intentional obfuscation of information.
The deliberate inconvenience. I can order a car online in the 21st century. And yet in Elite...I cant even see what ships a station has for sale without flying there. Its patently absurd, the degree to which technology has apparently regressed in the Elite universe. Not to mention: Its intentional inconvenience for the sake of inflating time spent "playing" the game.
Let me know when FDev actually care whether we enjoy this mess of disparate, unrelated mechanics masquerading (badly) as a game.Also...I would love to use paragraphs on the forum again. Alas, in Chrome at least this is apparently no longer possible.
Edit for Paragraphs, and: Turn Script Blocker off before posting here. Who Knew?
