I dislike the FSS because of the FSS. I would rather pilot my ships around to discover worlds in first-person game-play than park them and play with bits and bobs on a mini-game dial. It partially defeats the reason to have spaceships in the game instead of just radio telescopes or something.

All that FSS busy work could just as well be carried out by on-board avionics and computer systems no more advanced than what we use today. There's no real art nor intelligence involved in the process, and no, this is not an exaggeration.

We can't have both as Will (I think) came onto the forum in the last ADS megathread and told everyone, bluntly, it ain't comin' back...
Which was exactly what that (and its predecessors) was asking for, finalisation.
 
C’mon lads! This is a good start - I’m expecting us to beat the 100+ page record that the last thread achieved, or standards will be seen to be slipping.
 
I didn't say I enjoy it, I simply gave up on ED as a space exploration game, and tried to find some enjoyment in other things (mostly faffing about, buying a HOTAS sure helped a lot). That's what I meant by "making my peace with it".

That's good, but I didn't ask. Some folks have, some have learned to live with it, some have gone on to other things.
Some of us embraced it... 43 weeks in the black and not turning back.

To each their own, or as much of it as they can get.
 
Why argue? Why cant we just have both.
I wouldn't be surprised if the answer would be that we literally can't. After all, take a look at the releases and their bugs this past year. Or how severe bugs with the FSS and also the Codex have gone unfixed since last December. It could well be a can of worms that the B-team would rather not open unless they absolutely had to - such as when they had to add Arx in there.
 
Martha? How are you doing, it's me. Tell me, do you still have all those dead horses in the deep freeze? ... You do? Don't get rid of them yet, I think we might need them ... Yeah, I'm going to call Eric now, I'm hoping he still has those surplus whips and flails in his warehouse.
 
Congratulations on your complete mis understanding of how exploration now works. What a useful post.

To be fair, I’ve seen a number of people, including those who say they’ve been multiple tens of thousands of light years out, mis-understand how the honk works now. I’m not sure that is a ringing endorsement of it’s functionality ;) :)
 
Unless you're Burke's alter ego, I didn't speak to you either.

Then where'd I get that Quote? Maybe we're confusing each other. And Burke is not allow to have an alter ego. His primary ego is too large - but we love him for his persistence. Gold medal every year in the Olympic Dead Horse Flogging Competition.

I quoted Burke's post, not yours.

Maybe the bugs have finally reached the forum as well. :eek:
