Utter incompetence

Don't forget that ship transfer delays were only a thing after some of us here had to tell FDev that instant would break their game. So going on with the theme of incompetence, they didn't even know their own game well enough not to know this. If we hadn't pointed out the obvious, PP would have been broken, you could call in your armada right away and overpower a system, ASPs would become the only ships used to get you to your destination before magically teleporting your ships and a few other glaring errors too.

It wasn't some it was a vote which only verified accounts got to take part in. I couldn't think of a more competent way to decide really, it also filtered out the trolls.

Ah, the good old "Anyone who disagrees with my opinion is not worth listening to/wrong/a troll".

Here's a hint, don't try using that one in real life ;)

Given the posts in this thread she was bang on. There's half a dozen at least that are off topic trolling. That's the community here when you attack there little game even in the slightest. Most of us can have an adult discussion without resorting to whiney baby troll posts but did you not read the thread? How did you miss them? And now your having a go because what - she's exactly right?

ditto. obviously bugs suck, however that aside, I am so glad FD did not go for lowest common denominator implementation and put in magic ship transfer but instead put in a little more work and go for the original plan.

Did everyone forget that it was US that stopped them doing that? LOL

Wow, FDev weren't responsible - they were headed for instant until we heard that and there was a megathread.
 
Let's also take a moment to look at FDev's online store that always works. Isn't that weird???? That their money making store has no bugs and works all the time? Wow how do they manage to do that when ED is a massive fail? Quite happy to take our money but not happy to make things work it would seem.

Maybe that's because every teenager can setup an online store in a matter of minutes while creating a complex and big game like Elite takes years and a 100+ staff.

Tell that to the NMS dev team and that's massive hyperbole - yes I'm sure it's as easy as you say it is...
 
i actually think a send to station as well as a deliver from station option would be a fair compromise for everyone.

Fully agree. It actually makes more sense to 'push' the ships and modules forward to the destination than to get to the destination then 'pull' them after the fact. Because it doesn't make any difference to FD where we keep our ships and modules, there should be no reason why we can't send them forward. It would also take out all the whining and pouring out of salt in regards to the delay and as in all probability the player would be travelling to the destination location during the transfer window anyway.

Please explain how ED is a massive fail.

Was trying to work that out myself. While I am not blind to it's issues, for me it is still a superb game that I am still playing 4 years down the line. Not bad for a game that is full of place holders and barebones features. ;-)

I think Chris Roberts sends them here. :D
 
Why didn't you point out the ones before that? Could you ask your friend why it is that after al lthe other posts, mine is the first you want to bring up as off topic?

He says:
"Because your off topic post was complaining about off topic posts, the others weren't".

Also.... please clarify
"What *exactly* has this post got to do with the OP?", as you seem to have ignored the question in favour of further ranting.

um, spelt :)

Actually both. Spelled is generally more common in the US while in the UK spelt is more common. There are a few in the English language where the americans made irregular verbs regular.

For once i think US English gets it right. If I haved beed in charge of languages, i'd be sure to have beated my drum on this topic, and have becomed an outspoken critic of the UK English use of irregular verbs. I once betted a man that it wouldn't have breaked the English language if we maded some simple changes to the language like this. We could have chosed to make the language a lot simpler if we could have finded a way to make it happen and forgetted about these stupid irregular verbs.

You are David Mitchell!:D
 
The fact that these posts are still here goes to show the issues aren't only with the developers. Just what exactly are these, mirror image reflections? Nothing but trolling comments and nothing whatsoever to do with the conversation.

If these are seen as the worst trolling replies to a ridiculous & insulting OP, then this community that thinks itself so very toxic, is pretty cuddly really.

For my part, I thought the original post was so absurd it was open-season on whatever topic anyone fancied. Now I know at least one person is taking it seriously, & to you, I prostrate myself in heartfelt apology.

It's always the same people.... Ranting? LOL if you think this is ranting what a sheltered life you live. How isn't ED a massive fail - a game that have an average lifespan of 60 hours and never went any further other than boring, easy, unchallenging and repetitive gameplay which the Kickstarter was not even close. Not being close to the KS dream and vision along with the DDF means it's a fail on what we were promised to what was delivered.

Seems to be a theme doesn't it? All these space guys with all these things they're going to put in their game and then when it comes around, they all massively differ from the PR we were all sold.
