This game is NOT boring, just is too easy

[McDosy]

Yep. No challenge. Absolutely impossible to die, even if you fly into a black hole. You will always magically re-appear with all your credits and rank. Even if you commit suicide.
Almost the opposite of the original Elite in that respect.

In the original Elite, you could save. You had the excitement and trepidation of playing the noise on the tape back to the game and seeing if it would recognise it, but other than that you could die and have no loss whatsoever. None. I ended every single play session with a suicide.

Personally, I'm not a big supporter of the 'Bring back playing noises to the game' campaign.

I think the rewards are fine.

Me too. The professions designed for people motivated solely by profit make the most profit. That's entirely right. They give you nothing else but profit. That's the balance. The most exciting professions maybe need to be more exciting, but not more profitable. Profit isn't the draw. Excitement is.

Really the ideal is for everyone to play by the same rules in the shared galaxy though.

What if I don't like your rules? Or you don't like my rules?

Maybe we should just play by our own rules...

Not when traders are making in excess of 6 million credits an hour they are not.

In my dreams maybe.
