There has been a clear game plan by backers and CIG to hoodwink new players into funding further development,the main Youtubers have played a huge part in the propaganda and now with days to go before the Forbes article is released there’s a clear effort to give the impression of transparency to the actual state of the game.

waves hands frantically Uhhhh, uhhh... fidelity?Not wanting to seem picky but if some areas are not explorable or are only partially explorable, how can the game be considered fully explorable?
You can explore the amazon and that’s on one planet. I explored my cupboard last night.Not wanting to seem picky but if some areas are not explorable or are only partially explorable, how can the game be considered fully explorable?
You can fully explore the huge universe, and since so many areas have been excluded, you don't have to grind like in those awful bad open-world games and can be completely done with it and cash in your 100% cheevo in a single afternoon!Not wanting to seem picky but if some areas are not explorable or are only partially explorable, how can the game be considered fully explorable?
If you can look at it you're already exploring it.Not wanting to seem picky but if some areas are not explorable or are only partially explorable, how can the game be considered fully explorable?
A low blow. Isnt about bath rooms - the underwater mechanic was intended for gameplay purposes. Like in NMS or as nod to Moray Starboat I guess.You can fully explore the huge universe, and since so many areas have been excluded, you don't have to grind like in those awful bad open-world games and can be completely done with it and cash in your 100% cheevo in a single afternoon!
Also, remember, this is the company that bragged about the size of their universe using a metric that meant that the game was smaller than a regular bathroom.
Not really ....If you can look at it you're already exploring it.
Is focussing more on the social aspects. Is only natural then that Margret is way closer and more frequent than fringe activities. Maybe she was just waiting for someone to join for picnic?Exploration even with 100 systems is going to be a tricky thing to pull off.
What’s the point in going where no man has gone before if you turn a corner and Margret from accounts is having a picnic!?
No amount of purpose built ships and exploration clobber are going to stop feeling a little bit stupid.
Immersion Timer - love it.It was already frustrating enough when i had a crash in SC during free fly and then had to wait for the immersion timer to get my ship back.
"Flagged as combat logger and banned because he was chewed by his own door/ramp"
"Unable to find the griefer because he was replaced by his descendant...and all factions have no idea who the heck he is now."
I think that unlike Elite finding new systems will probably not be the main thing since these 100 systems are known systems.Exploration even with 100 systems is going to be a tricky thing to pull off.

Sounds suspiciously like mining.I think that unlike Elite finding new systems will probably not be the main thing since these 100 systems are known systems.
The exploration is most likely unstable jump points, temporary anomalies, mineral deposits, plant locations or some other stuff.
Everything will most likely be temporary commodities that needs to be found, reported, extracted and then finally sold.
Sounds suspiciously like mining.
Explore areas to find things to prospect. Fair enough,not something i’d want to do but each to their own.It would not surprise me since the equivalent would be:
So essentially everything would tie in into a long chain of resource management and finally into a product that can be used.
- Prospecting for a find
- Reporting the find
- Miners purchasing the data
- Miners get the materials from site
- Miners sell the materials
- Scientist get materials from Miner
- Scientist examine its properties to accurately give it's hidden stats meaning
- Engineers purchase a load of the now accurately numbered items
- Engineers examines it in detail to find what they can efficiently use it for
- Engineer creates a ship modification
- Other player purchase the final product
