Thank-you for making solo playable again... (sort of)

Welcome CMDR's,

Firstly I would like to say what a decent job of 2.1 Frontier have done. While it is not perfect by any means it is far better than it was. So much so that I had reset my save game ready for the new improved AI... Who it seemed had all gone to the Engineers and gained uber weapons befoer release. Not a lot of fun flying in any mode as a lone player while that was going on.

Thank-you for removing them.

Their inclusion, plus the rush by players to get hold of pew pew goodness made me restart in solo, I have no desire to face a wing of CMDR's with their pink rays of mega death thank-you very much.

Now however I find that solo is the place where I will be staying - why? Time.

I only get to play for around an hour a night - No doubt I will get shouts of "Bran's a filthy casual!" - I don't intend to spend my time looking for rocks or bits for crafting. That would be a grind for me and I never do anything I would consider as such - I have a rather poor attitude towards players who claim that developers make them grind... you chose to do it, I choose not to.

Wings - this is another thing that I don't get to take part in. I have no intention of making ED into a social experience for me - I am sick to death of being told games are now for social people - no they are not. They are for people who like to blow the crud out of others, not send them flowers! I don't play games to make new friends nor do I know anyone that does. I had one person on my list before resetting - Conch, nice bloke, not to chatty - perfect friends list material for me!

Given that you don't intend to keep all three modes equal as shown by the old Wings update would you please consider telling us what bits of the rest of season 2 will not be available for the solo player at all.

Farewell open, you were great fun for 8 months or so. :(

EDIT: When I say FD did a decent job I am in no way referring to some of the screen layout changes... now seen in the outfitting section of the game. That is a thread all of it's own that I will write one day... I just have to be very careful as to the wording so our mods don't have heart attacks when they see it.

now this is something I can stand behind... I agree with everything in this. that bit about Conch sounds like my definition of a good neighbor.

FDev I would also like to know about the changes coming in season 2 that have nothing to do with how I play... I may play in open and I may get killed in PVP from time to time but my internet conection is y and I would prefer not to try to make friends in a video game; I have friends they come over the house are kids play and we BBQ and talk about stuff...

here is an idea that has never been brought up before... NPC wingmen and crew?!

"Never been brought up before", hehe. I see what you did there. :)

Has FD ever responded to the (many) requests for hire-able NPC wingmen? I don't recall that they have, but I may well have missed something at some point.

I thought I heard someone say this was being considered during all the live streams leading up to 2.1.

I'm willing to bet on two things

1. Multicrew wont be available to solo players
2. Someone will complain about it not being available in solo mode
