What do you love about ED to date

This poll assumes you believe they've done any of those well enough to warrant praise, and therefore cannot be voted upon as it does not have the option of "none".
They have a grand scale galaxy that is almost completely empty (not their fault for obvious reasons) and after that literally everything is an alpha stage mess of broken features and bugs.

You must like something, or else you wouldn't be here.

YOU MISSED MINING
WHY U TORTURE ME

--IronDuke

lol yeah sorry bud, I forgot a few big ones, BGS and mining are just 2.

FWIW i have done a bit of mining and with the right ship it is fun... relaxzing for the most part with the odd bit of excitement. Personally since all the new "stuff" came in we can collect, i do not enjoy so much, too much faffing around collecting stuff i have no interest in... but at its core, I agree it is fun

thanks for the feedback tho.

to each their own... if you honestly think not one thing in the game is worthy of praise that is fine.... but if so, I think it is highly unlikely you will ever enjoy the game.

Fly safe CMDR.

Exactly what I was going to say.

People play this game because of visuals and superficial things but in gameplay is really disappointing.

I dunno, whilst i find the gameplay lacking in some areas, i would not say it is lacking across the board. for me the very nature of flying a spaceship and feeling a part of the galaxy IS gameplay. thanks for your thoughts tho, always good to hear different views

I voted 1:1 Milky Way, Sound Effects and Visual Style. I like games with procedural huge maps and I think Elite did a good job. The sound effects is one of the best I've heard in games.

But games are not all about graphics or maps. The most important thing is they need to have good gameplay mechanics because why I would play the game? to see nice vistas? no thanks thats secondary. I need to play games with complex mechanics and atm the gameplay in Elite is a repetition of simple tasks and its clear in this poll.

If you look at the core gameplay, piracy, trading, exploration and even combat are the less voted. The core of the game are those activities (plus mining) and if you think about what things you do while doing those activities you realise that the mechanics are a joke.

Everyone can do a game with nice graphics but not everyone can do one with good gameplay mechanics and this is a disease at the time we live when every game is dumbed down.
I liked this poll and I think it needs more votes.
