What has FD changed or added that Dangerous Discussion actually liked?

I am pretty sure the 1.5 ships update was pretty much universally liked, because all it was, was more ships.

And who doesn't like having more ships?

That's probly about it though. Maybe station interiors, because it was a feature that should have been in at release.

Come to think of it.... mostly, the things that should have been in at release (going by what is included in most games by default) are the things people tend to like the most.

Station interior variation, the ability to actually make your character, having a decent array of ships, multiplayer support (which still isn't really fully implemented! but took an entire patch to even HAVE a mechanic to join up with other players, yep, 1.0 didnt even have "wings" mental ain't it?)

But yeah, base features are what get universal praise.

New shiny "features" tend to get more split opinions.

The problem is that most people come to forums to either complain about a current feature or to shoot down an upcoming feature, so there's little positive feedback to be found.

We've gotten to the point where any deliberately positive thread would immediately be taken as sarcasm. I genuinely love this game (seriously, not sarcastically) and play it waaaaay more than any reasonable person should, but I mainly come here for the social jousting (arguing) and to gather information on upcoming features or current mysteries like the ruins.

To answer the opening question, I'd have to say the only thing that DD has ever really liked would be the existence of ED itself, since it's why we're all here in the first place.

The camera.

There was only one small outcry about the camera which was quickly settled and the OP reversed his opinion. The camera changes seem to be universally loved.

Yeah, another thing I'd tend to call a base feature. They actually finished it. That's what get's (almost ) universal praise, completed features. Which is why it's so rare, because pretty much everything is a placeholder for multiple years.

Been here a while-ish, and I can't think of any feature added, be it QoL or something more extensive, that FD added to Elite Dangerous that was praised almost unanimously. Dangerous Discussion is more like Rant and Rave Discussion with anything FD proposes or does being the order of the day. This isn't a rant thread on the current status of the fanbase, I'm just giving some background on my query. What has DD ever considered good, well done, or appreciated?

Bookmarks. lol

- New improved POI mechanic I hope you are talking about USS because POIs are still horrible
- Seeing the approaching star in the hyperspace tunnel But the new animations takes 5 seconds longer!!!
- Gal map bookmarks Another incomplete feature!
- In-ship clock But it doesn't let me set local time!
- Station interriors The game is completely broken and they seriously waste their time with station interriors?!
- Capitol ship docks But we still can't fly them ourselves...
- Alien crash sites They have been broken most of the time!
- Alien hyperduction (kind of) Which is just a cutscene. I expected a galaxy wide war. And I am going to win it.
- CQC stations That you can't interact with...
- Commander Creator Why did they call it Holo-Me? How dare they?!

I'll just comment in red ;)

(Also I am not entirely serious...)

In general the QoL stuff is well received, or changes to old features which Frontier left in a poor state. In recent months module storage has been universally well received despite the controversy about transfer times and cost, the removal of engineers commodities, bookmarks, the extra galaxy map filters... I haven't seen much complaints about the changes to hyperspace exit points either (although not much doesn't mean inexistent). The complaints following the mission rework were mostly about bugs rather than mechanical changes, and the changes to USS (both the influence of location on the frequency/type and the ability to scan the USS from supercruise) were welcomed by most.
I think you'll find people argue mostly about new features, and that should be no surprise considering Frontier tends to push features in a very early state and leaves them hanging there for months.

But the thing with DD...is that when you like something in the game, you tend to just play rather than rush to the forums to tell everyone how much fun you're having. But of course if something frustrates you and makes you want to stop playing the forums are a natural place to go to rant and argue. So DD ends up being mostly about what people dislike about the game, it's just the nature of the medium.

As much as I moan about some things, I do love some aspects. SRV and planetary landings...love this so much, especially joyriding the SRV around canyons...one of my all time favorite activities in this game after actually flying a spaceship.

Another aspect I love is them porting over to consoles as I play both pc and console and this game was what many console players have been waiting for fer years. Of course, the master race pc gamers dont like it, but the mods do a fairly good job of keeping that brand of salt away. Cant teach an old dog new tricks it seems.

I did like the introduction of jacques once upon atime...until FD installed the BGS there after which I lost almost my entire interest in the project, but...history, water under the bridge now ^

I think most liked the being able to plot a course around fuel scooping stars.
Most liked the plannetary landings.
Most liked the suv's.
Most liked the new station types (although there could me more...)
Most liked Jacks going to the other side.
Most liked the scripted Alien encounter.
Most liked the commander creator preview.
And a lot more...

The fighters, new assets, alien bases, the audio oh yes the audio....
I could add the new features like commander creator and the new camera functions.

It does seem like that, I am getting to dread looking at the forums after every announcement as know the first x threads will mostly be negative, asking questions for which the answers and know just provoke a reaction etc.

There are some features that get praised, at least for the first couple of pages but can soon degenerate, this will always be the case as opinions will differ and 'constructive discussions' take place.

I personally love this game and have no problems with anything that FD has introduced in the 2yrs I have been playing it, yes there are bugs and things that don't work 100% which can be frustrating but most can be worked around or at worst case ignored for now (ruins comes to mind). I look forward to every update, the big features and myriad of QoL that turn up as well as areas of game play I have not explored before.
