Rules: Quote, delete the quotes and add your own answers.

Just for fun and NOT for discussing the various issues, there are other thread around for that. Yes, I am poking fun at us. And me. Since I'm knee deep in some of these discussions. If you can think of something I've missed, PM me and I'll add it.

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Against, I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: For. I know it's against the design decisions but I loved looking at my ship as I took off.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it. Despite being anti-griefer. I just want to feel I'm in a game with other people.

Star Citizen: Wish them the best of luck. Not a backer, don't think I will be.

Best Controller: I suspect a HOTAS or a joystick setup, but not the controller, but I can't afford a left-handed hotas or even a joystick. I'm back to the keyboard, but not the mouse.

Monetisation: Has to happen. I think we all agree no pay-to-win, so hoping for vanity items.

SP/MP/Groups/Ironman: Hopefully multiplayer all group. Might go Ironman...

Transponder on/off: Hate it, and probably end up flying with it off.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Alphan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For! Heheheh.

Career: Explorer

Player Crew: Absolutely yes, it'd be an interesting way of approaching groups that didn't depend on everyone flying about in a fleet of ships. Whether it could be done practically? That's one I'll happily leave to FD.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Certainly something I'd like to see, providing it could be done credibly.

Alliances: Against.

Drones: Against. 'Cept maybe a camera drone.

Player owned stations: Against.

Offline Debacle: Had my sympathies, almost resigned until FD rethought straight 'no' refunds.

Billionaires: Didn't get the fuss to be honest, I'd have let them keep it.

Elite Dangerous MMO: For me it is, I've never understood the argument here.

EvE Online: Played it for years and years, but don't want it repeated here.

ED Community: I still love it.

Anything else: Not offhand.

 

[MikeSnos]

Nice idea... I think I broadly think along the same lines as your good self

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Against, I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: Against... Immersion breaking really. I'm not THAT entrenched when it comes to immersion but the whole 3rd person view to me is faintly daft... You wouldn't have a camera following your car around would you?

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it. Despite being anti-griefer. I just want to feel I'm in a game with other people.

Star Citizen: Not really bothered by StC (as opposed to OUR SC)

Best Controller: X52 Pro for me... Started off with Keyboard and Mouse... Found the mouse to be a PITA so went to Kbd until my X52 arrived... Really makes things much much better and playable.

Monetisation: Has to happen. I think we all agree no pay-to-win, so hoping for vanity items.

SP/MP/Groups: Hopefully multiplayer all group.

Transponder on/off: Undecided at the moment.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Alphan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For!

Career: Explorer/Trader/Pirate... Anything that gets me through whatever the current situation/state of play is

Anything else: Not offhand.[/QUOTE]

 

[Cubed]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Against, I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: Against. However I seem to remember COD Black Ops allowed you to view the game afterwards from any angle and from anywhere on the map. Something similar in ED would be nice, record your session then playback with moveable/placeable cameras.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it. Despite being anti-griefer. I just want to feel I'm in a game with other people.

Star Citizen: Not interested but may investigate at some later point in time.

Best Controller: Have the Thrustmaster T-Flight. Liked it so much I've ordered a X52 pro, Having to wait until the end of July before Dabs gets more stock. Saitek need to stop making other items and concentrate on the X52s.

Monetisation: I want Braben and FD to make piles of money from this game. No pay-to-win though just cosmetic items (bobble heads, skins etc etc).

SP/MP/Groups: Hopefully multiplayer all group.

Transponder on/off: Undecided.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Premium Betan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For.

Career: Mercy/trader

Anything else: Nope.

 

[Void Sun]

My Answers

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Not against, I like the ED Compromise, which allows Newtonian control all be it with a speed limit.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: For (ish). Not for game play but some how to view my ship at certain times. Perhaps the downside is I cannot control my ship at all in this mode.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it to allow people choice. However after the last few weeks of PB and watching other players moving around the universe and within the stations I'm with the OP. I want to feel I'm in a game with other people and see them.

Star Citizen: I hop they do well, they have an uphill struggle and the hype is probably their biggest millstone around their neck. At some point I will probably play through the Squadron 42 single player game.

Best Controller: HOTAS, however I currently use a single stick and throttle combo. Probably augment my current set up in future with Voice Attack / Power Grid.

Monetisation: Vanity in game purchases.

SP/MP/Groups: Multiplayer all group, possibly one pilot slot in IM.

Transponder on/off: Will start with it ON so I can see and be seen by other players as a player.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Alpha (DDF).

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Not fussed, didn't expect it don't need it.

Career: Explorer/Trader, Military/Bounty Hunter, Pirate/Smuggler

Anything else: Not offhand.

 

[Frank]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Reality went out the window when we got faster than light travel and spaceships that spit lasers at each other. Ye can brreak the laws of physics. The flight mechanic is absolutely perfect the way it is.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: We'll see what happens in the full game. The developers are committed to limit the effects of griefing as best they can.

3rd Person View: For.. A drone you fly with the same controls as your ship so that it's impossible to use 3rd person view for a tactical advantage.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'd like to see what it would be like, and whether I'd be able to spot the AI from the real people by the way they turn in combat.. a kind of Turning Test.

Star Citizen: I wasn't a fan of Wing Commander, but I do believe that they could pull off something special. I wasn't a backer so I have the luxury to wait and see how it turns out. A story-led sci-fi shooter could be quite fun.

Best Controller: I might end up with a HOTAS when I get my DK2 Rift. My current set-up with Xbox360 controller requires me to look at some buttons before I press them. I'd prefer not to spend the money if I can avoid it.

Monetisation: I don't mind other folks spending cash on vanity items. But not something I'd be likely to buy.

SP/MP/Groups: Hopefully multiplayer all group if the griefer idiots don't prove too wearisome, otherwise a very large group of "people who aren't the one or two idiots"

Transponder on/off: I don't know anything about it.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Premium Betan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For! I like the way it bumpens the playing field. I can say to any Alphan laughing at my poor progress that I'd be doing much better if I had that insurance perk.

Career: Miner/Trader/Taxi

Anything else: VR! I've seen the future, and it's VR

 

[Sumkawps]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Enjoying the current flight model - see no need to change.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing. Looking forward to FD's take on a sandbox with consequences.

3rd Person View: Against, breaks immersion for me.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: Against. Like the idea that you just don't know what's out there till you scan (immersion again). Hoping mechanics mean that the more positive aspect of hollow blips is favoured over player targeting for lulz.

Star Citizen: Not a backer. Hope it does well and differentiates from ED enough that both have thriving communities.

Best Controller: HOTAS. Tried kbam and strongly prefer controllers - also slightly more immersive for me.

Monetisation: Cosmetics/Vanity in game purchases. No cash for credits please.

SP/MP/Groups: Wait and see how law mechanics are implemented. Pref MP all

Transponder on/off: Wait and see how law mechanics are implemented. Pref off (see above)

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: PB.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Who cares about progression in a game without end-game?

Career: Solo background sim influencer in deep space somewhere, I hope.

Player Crew: No thanks

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: If FD get space sandbox right I'll have faith they can get ground sandboxes right too - but dunno if I'll have the time anyway.

Alliances: If this is MP all groups, cool. No guilds, as no need.

Drones: In two minds - like the idea as way of implementing non-combat careers (mining, exploring). Possible limited ammunition style repair drones for non ARM modules and hull built into deep space explorer ships (usable only with drives off and/or limitations to avoid in-combat usage).

Player owned stations: Against. Categorically. No executive control of any kind. Background sim influence only please.

Anything else: Really hoping ED delivers on a new way of implementing MP that challenges pre-conceived notions about what it should be.

 

[tough boy]

I'll bite

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: I like where it stands now.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Mostly a PvEr but moving towards PvP. Griefing is not my style and I don't like it, but I think the problem is currently exaggerated.

3rd Person View: I don't mind it for beauty shots

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm in favour. I just like to know who's real people around me

Star Citizen: Backer. I actually like flying in SC/AC better, but I prefer Elite "world" and general art direction. I also believe that many people who bought into SC hype would actually be happier with E, and SC should have stayed smaller for its own sake. Sniping between the two communities is annoying.

Best Controller: I've only tried (cheap) HOTAS and joypad, between the two I prefer throttle and stick because I can control pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, strafing and firing simultaneously, while with the joypad I always have to sacrifice one control for another due to buttons layout.

Monetisation: I don't mind really

SP/MP/Groups: All group unless it becomes a situation where the only form of interaction with other people is shooting on sight, that would be boring

Transponder on/off: I'm not sure what it is, if it's that thing to turn human commanders visible meh, I'd prefer how it is now but if it's implemented I understand the reason for it. I would probably fly with it on, and be ready to fight

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Founding member of the Elite from the Kickstarter, upgraded to Alpha around Alpha 2.0 (when discount from kickstarter level was made available)

For or against the alphan insurance perk: It has been promised, so I'm for.

Career: Fighter/Explorer

Anything else: The feature I'm mostly looking forward to is skimming gas giants. That tech demo that David Braben showed during the Kickstarter for me is the single feature which separates Elite's engine from the other procedural universe engines out there (Space Engine, Infinity... )
Also I like whenever someone writes E, it makes a smile.

Just for fun and NOT for discussing the various issues, there are other thread around for that. Yes, I am poking fun at us. And me. Since I'm knee deep in some of these discussions. If you can think of something I've missed, PM me and I'll add it.

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Would rather see true physics but I like what we have now

PvP/Griefer/PvE: I think some of you know where I stand on this subject so PVE all the way.

3rd Person View: Against, breaks the immersion.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: For it, Need to be able to tell the difference between the two.

Star Citizen: Wish I never gave them a single dime. The lack of progress on the game the past 2yrs has me wondering if they will ever finish the game before they run out of funds.

Best Controller: Xbox 360 for me.

Monetisation: against

SP/MP/Groups: SP

Transponder on/off: off

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Premium Betan

For or against the alphan insurance perk: AGAINST!

Career: Haven't decided but leaning on explorer

Anything else: More ships

 

[Hamerstein]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Against, I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: Against(ish), 1st person for combat. If there were ways of doing 3rd person still shots for vanity purposes - I've no problem.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: Against, don't want to know what I'm flying with/against, actions require in game reasons. Play the game not the metagame.

Star Citizen: Wish them the best of luck. Not a backer, don't think I will be.

Best Controller: HOTAS, tried keyboard and mouse and controller, HOTAS is the easiest and most natural way of picking up the game (for me).

Monetisation: Has to happen. I think we all agree no pay-to-win, so hoping for vanity items.

SP/MP/Groups: A mix, I will play some MP, but I'll play SP too. Depends what mood I'm in.

Transponder on/off: I thought I'd answered that above? I'll have transponder off to maintain opacity.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Alphan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Indifferent really, obviously it's nice to have it. But if FD changed their mind tomorrow, I wouldn't be crying into my coffee.

Career: Um, probably a little of most things. It's a bit early to be making commitments. Once I'm set up financially, I'd like to go Bounty Hunter - providing the game makes it viable and entertaining.

Anything else?: See below.

Player Crew: Absolutely yes, it'd be an interesting way of approaching groups that didn't depend on everyone flying about in a fleet of ships. Whether it could be done practically? That's one I'll happily leave to FD.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Certainly something I'd like to see, providing it could be done credibly.

 

[Rog]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Fully approve. Gravity keeps stuff stuck down, and I'm packing more inertia than an oil tanker. FAOFF is a reasonable compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Adds spice. Dislike crass idiocy (even if I'm the idiot). As long as the 'E' is endlessly entertaining.

3rd Person View: A 3rd person can be fun. Oh, um, right... deffo a camera drone (not too nerfed) but no arcade mode.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: Was against, possibly for now. Depends on the anti-idiot measures.

Star Citizen: Hope it does well, but greedy model and shallow. Think it'll be a humongous train wreck with many backers disappointed. Sorry.

Best Controller: HOTAS. Possibly pedals. Would like a sim-pit thing but laziness. And people would talk.

Monetisation: Is that the money we've already paid for the games and expansions or more money all the time? Not from me, but knock yourself out if you've got too much.

SP/MP/Groups: Probably multiplayer all group. Big galaxy, so most real people you meet will be figments of your imagination anyway. Or you will be figments of theirs.

Transponder on/off: Yes, trainspotters should be offed. It's a kindness, really.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Shop-soiled past Premium Beta dirtbag.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Down with this sort of thing! Careful Now.

Career: I usually career all over the place, yes. This week I will be mostly exploring intrepidly and drinking tea. Maybe a little lothario-ing too if that's a word.

Player Crew: On my saucy ship? Do their feet smell, can they cook, and just how irritatingly nasal is their singing?

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Sure. Just for heavens sake make it entirely unlike every bone-headed shooter from the last decade or so. Much more interested in making all those planets into living, breathing worlds. Getting that right will be awesome and unbelievably difficult. Take your time.

Anything else: Yes, there's no booze in the house. This is bad.

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: I like the current setup.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Pro choice, true griefing will be dealt with.

3rd Person View: In some places it is fine, I suspect we may get it via other means (perhaps a pod which launches cameras) and hopefully via recorded tracks with all states saved, I want to watch a real in-game made movie.


PC/NPC Division on Radar: Prefer no division, but not overly one way or another.

Star Citizen: Backed, looking forward to it too, but not really paying attention until we get much closer to the PU/SQ42.

Best Controller: I suspect which ever one you feel comfortable with, for me I am using a CH pro setup due to flightsims and it works well.

Monetisation: The game needs to make enough money to justify further development, if that means a vanity store with fluffy dice and pirate hats so be it.

SP/MP/Groups: Going to try 'all/all' to begin with.

Transponder on/off: Undecided.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: DDF, Alpha was a bonus.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Don't care.

Career: Whatever takes my fancy.

Player Crew: Yes! I imagine, if the game is a financial success we'll be able to start a character planet-bound with no ship and taking up a job as crew would be one way to earn credits towards a ship

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: You mean a 3 headed dinosaur may get onboard whilst landed? Could be interesting.


Eve Online: Played this on and off, mining was OK and I liked the way you could search for anomalies, but its not and never was Elite.

Adding my own here:

Iron Man mode? Yes.

 

[PhanttoM]

Great idea to get a quick overview of where people stand!
Tried to make it less straining on the eyes, might have made it worse.



Newtonian Physics:
Indifferent - I like current, newtonian would be cool.

PvP/Griefer/PvE:
Play both PvP and PvE, against griefers

3rd Person View:
Against - I have yet to play a game with 3rd person, where using it does not give you an extra viewing angle which you would otherwise not have.

PC/NPC Division on Radar:
Against - I want to be surprised.

Star Citizen:
I've been part of a friendly, laidback and active Star Citizen community/guild for over a year. We play other games together, and look forward to StC!

Best Controller:
HOTAS x65f, Rudder pedals and TrackIR — Oculus Rift once the tech has matured.

Monetisation:
Will gladly toss in money for aircraft style sharkteeth decals and other cosmetic stuff!

SP/MP/Groups:
All of them!

Transponder on/off:
Indifferent - Might turn on/off depending on situation.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman:
Alphan

For or against the alphan insurance perk:
For - If I can opt out for some characters, and opt in for another.

Career:
Mercenary for faction, retire and become explorer once I have the ships I want!

Player Crew:
Will get my Planetside 2 liberator bomber crew to join me!

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions:
Oh yes! Didn't I just mention a former bomber crew? We will need ground targets!

Anything else:
I'm a pretty nice guy, if I may say so myself.

 

[Devidien Pace]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: I think there is room for options here. For example, certain forms of docking, ie. ship to ship, could be fully Newtonian. Players are smarter than we give them credit for, look at Orbiter and KSP.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for Contextual PvP, Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: Specifically for machinima purposes only. Possibly some form of recording mechanic that lets you replay a flight later from multiple points of view.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it, in conjuction with the transponder.

Star Citizen: I am a backer. I currently see Elite : Dangerous as being closer to my ideal space game,but let's see where it ends up.

Best Controller: I currently use a Thrustmaster Warthog. While it is the best controller I've ever used, I am not a fan of the ball type gimbal hat it, along with the X52, uses.

Monetisation: No real preference. I would pay a subscription if I perceived enough value in it.

SP/MP/Groups: Multiplayer all group. Hopefully Ironman

Transponder on/off: I like the idea of being able to use the transponder to identify myself to other pilots if I choose to .

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: premium betan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Whatever.

Career: Explorer

Player Crew: Absolutely yes, it'd be an interesting way of approaching groups that didn't depend on everyone flying about in a fleet of ships. Whether it could be done practically? That's one I'll happily leave to FD.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Certainly something I'd like to see, providing it could be done credibly. I probably wouldn't persue it as a personal game play choice though.

Anything else: As an explorer, I am hoping for detailed exploration gameplay. I really hope that surveying an unmapped system doesn't take 10 minutes.

 

[STABB666]

Hmm

Newtonian Physics:
No opinion, just go with the flow.

PvP/Griefer/PvE:
Doesn't bother me, annoying people exist in all realities.

3rd Person View:
Sounds like fun.

PC/NPC Division on Radar:
Nope.

Star Citizen:
I don't know what this means.

Best Controller:
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.

Monetisation:
Never.

SP/MP/Groups:
Not sure what this means.

Transponder on/off:
Transponders should be removable, but at a workable cost/benefit balance.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman:
Premium Beta.

For or against the alphan insurance perk:
Don't know what that is.

Career:
Make money, check out the stars, kill some folks, probably die at some point.

Player Crew:
Single seater.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions:
No interest.

Anything else:
I'm sleepy.

 

[Aewarin Jameson]

... but I am sitting down at the moment to type .. does it still count ?

 

[Joe Spivey]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: Against, I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Griefers should be 3 strikes and you're out. No problem with PvP as the game envisions it.

3rd Person View: Meh. Care less.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: I'm for it. Despite being anti-griefer. I just want to feel I'm in a game with other people.

Star Citizen: I hope it everything the 'EvE02' players who are currently here want from a game.

Best Controller: HOTAS, it just feels right for this game.

Monetisation: Has to happen. HOWEVER. The day I can buy something that effects the game, that I can't get in game is the day I leave.

SP/MP/Groups: Hopefully multiplayer all group.

Transponder on/off: Hate it, and probably end up flying with it off.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: PB.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For, these guys deserve rewarding.

Career: Explorer/Trader

Player Crew: Absolutely yes, it'd be an interesting way of approaching groups that didn't depend on everyone flying about in a fleet of ships. Whether it could be done practically? That's one I'll happily leave to FD.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Certainly something I'd like to see, providing it could be done credibly.

Anything else: I know there are a lot of Role Players out there looking at this game and wondering what it might have for them. I really hope FD don't forget us. Traditionally, RPers are BIG spenders on cosmetic items, just saying.

... but I am sitting down at the moment to type .. does it still count ?

Defining the nature of "it" and determining "it's" arithmetical abilities can only be approached from a sitting position. -_-

 

[Jetman]

Good idea for a thread. Here's what I think...

Where I StandNewtonian Physics: Haven't played yet, but looks like the current setup works very well.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: Against griefing, for PvP if in the context of the universe (not KD ratios), Looking forward to PvE.

3rd Person View: As others have suggested, maybe with drones, but not so sure about standard external views.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: Can't decide.

Star Citizen: Wish them the best of luck. Not a backer, don't think I will be.

Best Controller: Hoping X55 as I've ordered one.

Monetisation: Fine, but no pay to win and no pay for ships, weapons etc. Vanity only.

SP/MP/Groups: Hopefully multiplayer all group, but may leave if griefing or continual forced PvP.

Transponder on/off: Undecided, again depends on the type of players in game.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Will be standard betan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: Can't see a problem with it as long as it doesn't mean that people can prat around killing people at random with little recourse.

Career: Will likely try out a bunch of stuff.

Player Crew: No idea how this would work. Don't like the idea of being in a turret though.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Not interested whatsoever in avatars and out-of-ship exploration for any reason. Just me, my ship and the universe.

Anything else: Looking forward to planetary landings. Think that getting the in game bulletin board and news feeds up may provide an opportunity for PvP in a proper context (events).

 

[Zorbulev]

Newtonian Physics:
Just as it is.. balance is good.

PvP/Griefer/PvE:
PvE mainly but like to keep sharp with a bit of PvP

3rd Person View:
When docked only - how will you look at your vanity items otherwise...

PC/NPC Division on Radar:
Nice to know there are actual people out there, so yes.

Star Citizen:
Will look at it soon..

Best Controller:
X-55 Pro

Monetisation:
Yes for vanity stuff

SP/MP/Groups:
Hmmm.. Maybe

Transponder on/off:
Meh. Not too concerned.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman:
Alphan

For or against the alphan insurance perk:
if its offered then I dont see why not.

Career:
Explorer

Player Crew:
only room for me in here

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions:
Interesting..

Anything else:
Just eager to get going

 

[Hellhawk666]

Where I Stand

Newtonian Physics: It's a game and it's meant to be fun. I like the ED Compromise.

PvP/Griefer/PvE: It's an open universe with no holds barred. Great!

3rd Person View: Strongly against real-time 3rd person view, but a way to take selfies would be nice.

PC/NPC Division on Radar: Very much in favour. I want to know who is a real person right away.

Star Citizen: I'm a backer (two single-pilot ships) and I was a subscriber, but I cancelled the subscription and I won't be spending any more on SC. When it finally comes out I'll take another look, but frankly my interest started falling off about a year ago and hit rock bottom with Arena Commander.

Best Controller: HOTAS + VoiceAttack

Monetisation: They can do anything they like to make it the best game ever, including subscriptions if absolutely necessary, but never P2W.

SP/MP/Groups: Only multiplayer all group, unless a private group is needed to avoid people who make gameplay so unpleasant I would otherwise not play.

Transponder on/off: I don't like the idea to start with, but if there is no choice I'll fly with it on.

Alphan/Premium Betan/Standard Betan/Gamman: Alphan.

For or against the alphan insurance perk: For, but I don't care either way really.

Career: Explorer/trader

Player Crew: Definitely.

Ground based personal combat/Ship incursions: Doubleplusgood.

Anything else: Not offhand.[/QUOTE]
