Where is the Logic and Common Sense ?

[Spacegamejunkie]

WOW, I just realized it's the Lore on the Forums, that keeps me entertained.
The Game, not so much.
Now I'm on the Forum and not Playing the game at all.
I am waiting for the opportunity to submit a Ticket, that will give back every module on my ship.
All lost from a re-buy screen, leaving me with a ship that is unplayable, that is to say "Playable how I want".
And NO, I am not going to invest more time in Bringing my Ship back to the state it was.
I had all the insurance needed for a full re-buy, and I will not submit to the one wrong click of Tyranny.
My mistake or not, it's not right or fair, for this to happen.
Just one more instance of no logic or common sense.

logic, common sense, follow thru, internal consistency, playing the game, content with replayability, scalable gameplay, npc dialague and communication. These are things that fdev doesn't prioritize.

They've never prioritized them and they wont start anytime soon i suspect.

You want logic and common sense? In a universe where:

• You can hover just metres from the event horizon of a stellar-mass black hole? Your ship's thrusters, which struggle to compensate for planets with more than double Earth's gravity, have no trouble maneuvering in the millions-of-Gs gravitational field next to a black hole.
• You can buy gold, silver and palladium by the metric tonne from any mining colony in the galaxy, but iron, carbon and phosphorus are not for sale at any price anywhere and must be scraped off rocks in milligram quantities?
• Adding a few milligrams of exotic trace elements like germanium to the hydrogen fuel of a nuclear fusion reactor somehow makes the fusion reactor far more efficient? Likewise, being in the presence of the jet cone of a neutron star and scooping exotic particles out of it somehow makes your engines super-efficient?
• You can blow up entire fleets of Navy ships, but the naval superpowers seem reluctant to punish you for doing this, and they never punish you to the extent of demoting you in their Naval Reserve rankings or stripping you of the privileges that come with that rank?
• Spaceship manufacturers deliberately install speed limiters on all their ships to prevent them from exceeding an arbitrarily set speed limit, and nobody in the entirety of human space can figure out how to find that speed limiter and remove it - though a few Engineers are able to hack into it and increase the speed limit slightly?
• Space piracy not only exists but thrives, with countless pirates patrolling about even in "safe" civilized systems, even though being a pirate is just about the worst possible income source for a spaceship-owner? Here's a clue for the clueless pirates: if you don't want your children to go hungry tonight, how about selling your guns and interdictor, installing some extra cargo space and doing a few legal, above-board trade loops? You'll make more money in a few hours than you make in a few weeks of piracy, enough credits to feed your family for centuries.
• Magical space fairies grab hold of anything unpowered in space (pieces of debris, ejected cargo, bullets from guns, etc) and make them slow down and stop spinning?
• A cargo canister, containing valuable items or even live cargo, will simply self-destruct if it detects that it's been ejected into space and isn't retrieved again after a minute or two?
• Loitering and unknowingly transporting a criminal are punishable by death, but smuggling, assault and murder are not?

LOL Logic and common sense in a video game.
Keep em coming. That's funny.

I would be happy with Limpets that had simple collision avoidance. You would think that after a 1000 years of space mining we'd be able to program them so they don't try to fly through that big rock in front of them?
Or maybe we could just get collector limpets that collect limpets that kamakazied into an asteroid while picking up fragments, then we at least get some elements or components from the carcass.

If you want logic and common sense you have to travel back in time to 1998, or even further back.

The Y2K scare happened a year later. People started losing it and became rabbits, digging their rabbit holes. A couple years later the media and fear of the boogeymen made them dig deeper. The Internet became a cesspool that reinforced any conspiracy theory or point-of-view. The rabbits became emboldened by avoiding confrontation. Cut to today, and every little rabbit has dug itself a nice little chamber where it can have it's own screams echoed constantly back to itself. The rabbit never has to leave it's little den. It feels safe, but it doesn't realize the den is actually a padded room, and it's all alone. Afraid, paranoid, and numb from medication.

Oh... You're talking about logic and common sense in ED? Nevermind.

Yep, the world is going totally insane at the moment.
Which is why I spend so much time playing games,
but would like to see logic and common sense, some where in the world.
Even if it is just Game mechanics and virtual do da's
