What do you think about his take on space legs?
Main reason why I want Elite Feet. While I do play efficiently, it takes back seat to fun and immersion. I mean ever since the FSS was introduced, I've been having a blast exploring in Elite: Dangerous using a hefty dose of parallax discovery, using the FSS primarily to decide if a system is worth sticking around to explore in the first place, to provide hints on where I need to look, and to sometimes complete the system. It's not efficient, but it's a heck of a lot of fun.
To take missions, I'd much prefer want to walk into a barely lit bar, meet a contact to get the information I need to smuggle guns to brave freedom fighters resisting the cruel Galactic Federation, and then land in an isolated location to deliver the cargo, as the noble resistance hurriedly unloads my delivery as my ship sits on the ground. Maybe I might be betrayed by them. Maybe the Feds are aware of their operations, and we're caught in a sting operation. Maybe nothing happens at all. It would at least be more interesting than than the carefully researched, sanitized, and essentially risk-free "smuggling" missions we currently have in ED.
Not to mention exploring my ships would've been a lot of fun.
This was what I wanted Star Citizen for in the first place. I
knew the gameplay I wanted, in the game universe I preferred, was very much a long-term goal. Star Citizen was
supposed to help scratch that itch until Elite got around to it. Here we are, seven years later, and Elite seems to be much closer to fulfiling that goal than Star Citizen will ever be, because I sincerely doubt that SC will
ever be in a state where I'd want to play it.
