Rigghht. As there is no actual endgame in ED, then I don't understand the need for end game ships. It is more powerful and can haul more cargo, sure, but for what purpose. All you can do is make more credits with them, to do what with? Basically having those big ships means just as much as having a Cobra.
As far as I am concerned, ship progression stops at a Cobra as a Cobra can everything very well. Anything after that is a choice. An anaconda cannot do more types of gameplay then my Cobra.
Well, luckily for you, there are other ships available.
You know, that’s kinda arrogant? Of course there’s a kind of end game in elite dangerous, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to earn more and more credits and get more an more expensive ships. Do you even understand human psychology? Bigger = better for a heck of a lot of people, also objectively so in this game as long as you have the skill to back it up.
Also, you’re kinda wrong about your cobra. Pretty sure it’ll get destroyed in any serious conflict. The only reason the anaconda technically can’t do more types of gameplay than your conda is because technically any ship in the game can any type of gameplay. At some point though you will have to admit that it’s suboptimal for a lot of things, and objectively inferior to the anaconda in many, many situations, especially combat. I’ll give you that it has its uses for planetary landings and smuggling, as well as outpost missions, but other than that if you want to earn the most money in the game per hour the anaconda is the ship for you.
which basically makes it endgsme since money = progress, and endgame = being able to make most progress per time unit, but not necessarily doing so.
A slot 1 can be used for cargo if you dont want to use other C1 modules, so its not wasted space.
BTW what does OCD stands for?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s when everything has to be just so, because otherwise it has a real negative psychological effect on the person (can become as extreme as anxiety type things, but probably severe discomfort etc as well).
