Well that's one way to make trading less of a grind, allow you to only trade briefly at a location before making it hardly worth the effort. Find new place, repeat, go back to first place. Yep, much less of a grind.
I think I need a break, not that I play it often as I don't, but a break until a number of features are implemented.
Eg NPC comms. So we can't communicate with 99.9% of other ships. Pretty lonely and uninteractive. Don't bother asks when that'll come about, you'll get roundly ignored. But never mind, a wondering space station has been released that's mobile (except it's not, unless disconnected from the server.)
Missions. Not up to scratch for a 90s game with generic blocks of text with hardly any variation.
Anything worth doing, getting or achieving gets nerfed. I get the rebalancing, but is there any point to do the looong grind, and yes it is a grind if you want to be earning some money to do more - and by more I mean that even in Piracy and bounty hunting you are v limited right now, esp when you can't communicate with 99.9% etc. so going into my cobra for a break from trading is not much less tedious.
Don't get me started on where the hell the founder things I paid £50 for are, I paid back then to have the benefits on or near release, not 'Soon' (ie not soon) and then have semantics used to wriggle out of FD's commitments.
Just got reply to my support ticket I released many months ago. 'Are you still having this problem'? Well I don't know it was so long ago I will have to try and retest, but no I won't in fact, it should have been responded to many months ago. Fancy beta testing 1.1? No thanks, I Alpha'd and beta'd the first at my own cost and I don't fancy getting back in a Sidey for the 9th or 10 time to raise support tickets that may or may not be answered.
It'd be good to know how long to leave the game to wait until many of the key issues are in but the roadmap is private and not being shared.
I am sorry that I sound negative but there was a reason I paid all that money to alpha, and be a founding member (though wish I hadn't), the game's visuals are stunning. But if I met a girl with stunning visuals but ultimately left you with a hollow experience then I would only try her out so many times, particularly when she doesn't answer me if I ask whether she has any more to deliver, or when that might be. Sorry love, it's just not working out.
