I love FD I love the game But its missing something.... oh wait its missing missions and events that bring players together and carrier battles oh and NPC conversations where we can actually talk to them from a preset list of options ,what else hrmmmmm.. oh its missing thargoids and its missing the big events that we were supposed to get on release all I see is a small news clip about a system and some slaves wayyyy out there... what about the rest of the universe NO STORY for the rest of us??? don't get me wrong the basis of a great game is here but it needs SO MUCH MORE... please FD heed my call for content and Inject some real events and real battles into the game and not just in 1 system of a whole universe.

I want to fight in a fleet battle where only 1 side wins not a warzone that has NPC spawning for eternity I want to see other players fighting for the other side that I can attack and kill, I want them to drop cargo when their ship goes pop:) I want to get missions to jump into said carrier battle and my MISSION/objective is to destroy the enemy capital ships shield generator and then attack the thrusters or weapons all while stopping other players doing this to our capital ship(as a military mission that I can get at a certain rank).

Criticism is welcome I'm a total fan of the original and Frontier Elite II and this modern version still hasn't quite caught the magic of the original if you aree with this post rep me if you disagree rep me anyway for having a valid opinion :)

Here's to hoping we get some big content in the pipeline soon...Keep up the good work FD but a looong way to go yet

I read this post without first seeing the date - it is remarkably apposite, alarming when you realize it was written two years ago.

I think the vision exceeded the capabilities at the time, and still they are understandably struggling to put together all the elements required to support the big events in a realistic and immersive way. I can see them trying hard to build the background to support this ......... and I can see them falling short to match the vision - Powerplay and Engineers are two examples here where the player base has just got annoyed with how they have been implemented. Then there's instant ship transfer :rolleyes:

I guess our patience really does have to extend to allow FD more time to develop the grand events in the scope of developing the galaxy. We see the embryo of this with Barnacles, Jaques and .... well the Missing are missing at the moment, but there is plenty of room for developing Aliens.

I'm in it for the long haul ... if I live long enough I should see the vision achieved, but it looks like the game will take many years to reach its perfection, not a few.

It pays to complain when things are heading in the wrong direction - FD doesn't always see the big picture from the player perspective and sometimes needs to be course-corrected. But clamour from players for aspects which other games already have (or intend to have), such as animated planets and walking around, might be a distraction that slows them down in achieving that original vision.
 
Great. I quit Skyrim because I'm tired of fighting undead and this is what greets me here. We need a cleric stat!
