"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."

Q from the Star Trek TNG "Q Who" season 2 episode 16 may 1989

That is a pretty good assessment per the adventure you are about to embark on. You have an advantage as there are lots of threads and support on this forum with every aspect of the game so you're in the right place to succeed and enjoy ED. Welcome.

A quote from elsewhere...

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: [Elite: Dangerous] takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. I don't think this is a wrong approach - just different to what a lot of people might be expecting.

In all honesty, I sometimes wish I was old enough to have properly experienced the 80's if not for the music alone. I at least experienced the commercials and some of the movies, but yeah.

Max Headroom is pretty awesome too. And this movie too. 90's BUT STILL ITS PRETTY MUCH 80'S CRAP. So low budget but sooo damn good. At least in getting the atmosphere right.

The only punch I took to my nose was hitting the brick wall where nothing new ever happens after you've played for 3 hours. Game is brain-dead easy and has almost no content, despite having such a big universe.

Complaining for the sake of making sure the complaints are heard. If all FDev sees are these suck-up threads, or that everyone is satisfied, they'll have less incentive to make the game better.

Nah, I'd bet a month's wage that they have their own agenda in what comes to making things better - regardless of any posts on the forum whatsoever - and regardless whether the posts are negative or positive or just noise.

Did you perhaps think they hadn't noticed? I think you can probably stop annoying the rest of us who're enjoyance what we have so far... they've probably worked out by now that you feel personally let down by them. I'm sure they're most concerned about it, and are willing to give up their christmas breaks and their personal lives in order to completely rewtite their project to your specifications.

Can't believe it was 1989

You seem to have mixed up 'constructive criticism' with 'complaining'. Just being constructive!

Great news! That was what this thread was about! Some reruns with great TV and movies which makes playing ED even better!

Too bad others have different agendas.
