The single most annoying thing currently in ED is.....

"Collect 8 tonnes of commodity x from the planet surface." You turn up and there are 6 or 7 tonnes - never 8!!!! So you leave/re-enter instance to find that 6/7 tonnes of commodity x have respawned on the planet surface. Immersion break combined with tedium. Not good.
 
The galaxy/system map.

Un-intuitive bulky sources of irritation.

Real men don't use maps, real men ask for directio.... nevermind, a funky map for the good sir. :p

Most annoying is, when the trace of breadcrumbs in the game is so thin, I can't follow without using the forums.
From "actually helpful" tasks in PowerPlay (when a system is sufficiently fortified, the recommendation to fortify it should just disappear) to "where can I find an engineer material".

Yeah, this one does bug me as well. It happens on some skimmer missions too, where not enough spawn, and you have to leave/reload the instance. :(

Oh, and of course I have to still harp on the lack of commodity storage thing. :mad:
 
The lack of sensor support for finding stuff on planets while flying. Anything that is actually of interest never appears in a point of interest; and anything in a POI is by definition uninteresting.

TLDR why do we have to brute force search planets by EYEBALL in the next millennium?
 
Nah ... they didn't read the mission properly.

Mine stated: "Welcome Commander Liqua, glad to have you back. We need someone to go to the General Section of the forum Frontier and mine 8 salty posts. These can be collected from the PvEvP thread or the Open/PG/Solo thread."

I have 7 .. still looking for the 8th :)
I hate those PvPers nagging about their PvP updates and screwing over the PvE community by having Frontier work on something only 16% of the player base is interested in!

There's your 8, you're welcome! :)
 
Lensflare .... my poor eyes ! Having to keep the system stars behind the struts all the time .......... pet hate being unable to clearly see the scooping display due to bright reflection off the dash.
 
Just about to drop out of supercruise at a station only to be told to head to a new system. We had a contract, get somebody else to deliver your biowaste! We should at least have the choice to deliver as agreed or reap the financial benefits of the re-route.
 
What about those who want easier NPCs becaues they have hit their skill cap?

Should rather take up the cause to accelerate the implementation of NPC wingmates for players.
If you can hire a wingman with a decent NPC AI like the one you're facing .. you can equip heal lasers. :D
I know, I know, FD want to encourage cooperation and whatnot, but after 2 years, it's probably time to admit that there's a good portion of the playerbase quite happy with not winging up.
