How would you have implemented it Enderby? Well?

Of course you can happily ignore the fact that your prefered method makes a mockery of the other one.
What we have now is exactly what I think you deserve for this sort of ignorance.![]()
Explore? I never went to deep space to explore, I went there to party! Then Pilot's Federation kept sending these rank promotion messages every now and then but it's not my fault they did.The thing that the FSS detractors keep banging on about, is that with the new setup in an unexplored system, you actually need to do some exploring rather than press a button for a few seconds. Oh, woe!
@picommander made no mention of god mode - that was me. Nevertheless the "old mode" was very much a god mode. Whole system revealed in an instant. No effort required. No immersion. No interest. Boring excuse for exploration. Move on to the next system while watching GoT. No thanks.It was there first. Apart from which the old way made you spend a bit of time and effort to go get tags. Its nothing like god mode. They dont compare which in a way is good, they dont really get in each others way.
Kindly explain how you - yes, you personally - would have implemented it better.

Why argue? Why cant we just have both. Just let people play in their own way whats so difficult about that?
That's pretty hardcore man.As a CMDR who found his first complete system using a Basic Discovery Scanner and parallax I find the FSS a joy to use.
Yes? Your point?

False equivalence.Yeah you are right he didnt. When you go on about no effort no immersion, you are leaving out the fact that we can travel faster than light in ED. I dont see how you can complain about the system map reveal as a short cut and then fly off at 300c like nothings wrong.
False equivalence.
I didn't ask what you wouldn't do, I asked what you would do. And I would wait, but I fear that would be in vain...For a start I wouldn't turn something that was simple and naff into something merely long-winded and naff.
I wouldn't try to dress up a dumb, vacuous, inane mechanic, such as pointing at stationery space blobs, in a bid to pretend it's some cool new "science" aspect for the game.
If I couldn't change the ADS for the better then I would have left it alone.
Though, I must admit that the increased information that it provides can be of use. But, the actual operating of the thing.. please.
My thoughts on the FSS have been expressed many times. I haven't changed my mind over time. Every time I use the foul thing I wish that it hadn't been introduced.
But, it has and we just have to get used to the polished turd that it is. The only real pleasure the FSS provides me is giving it a verbal kicking on the forum any chance I get.

Instead you prefer to get it all instantly without working through the scans. That's boring and totally unrelated to FTL travel. As I said, false equivalence.Its not. Compacting game time to save player time. I dont need to be forced to zoom in/zoom out every planet of every system.

Very early in the beginning we had nothing but the parallax method. I really liked it as it gave me some sort of semi-VR impression of the true dimensions of a local system. The introduction of the ADS then came like an insult to me. Guess I'm somewhat... resentful.![]()
You're not getting it back. Deal with it.I just want the ADS back.
Or rather, travel endless LS to scan each planet/moon individually. In Each. And. Every. System.
