inb4 "but what do you wiiinn??!!?"

As the OP of this thread, i'm loving how many credits i'm earning, but that doesn't affect the core point of my argument. CGs are pretty much participation awards, everyone's a winner to some extent, and with this CG, everyone wins. But having a...

In the tritium hauling CGs iirc, a newbie could progress from a sidey to a T9 rapidly and make shedloads of money in the process.

The Asp Scout needs to be scrapped, plain and simple. The idea behind it is a medium ship that is as nimble as a small one. And it is. But the thing is also a huge target compared to an actual small ship while having the same weapon loadout as...

I mean, from the beginning of the game, someone was setting themselves up for disappointment if they honestly believed that they would get every species they wanted. That just was never going to happen, for anyone, unless someone had a really low...

Some would argue the Asp Scout has a greater need. If we keep adjusting the worst ship to be in line with new ships, surely that's worse than just adding new ships. Where does that end? There comes a point where that ends up needing a gameplay...

Having just seen the temperatures the PC goes up to when jumping, I wouldn't consider overcharging the PP. Some thermal reduction is essential and it's fortunate we can get that with armoured as well as low emissions. As for power management...

Here is the first mention I saw for the ARX ships: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/latest-cg-the-clearest-example-of-p2w-in-ed-to-date.639625/page-6#post-10673837 which back-traces to this earlier post in the same thread...

It is local to the station receiving it/above the planet though, so not actually that important unless you need/want a lot of supply or demand for your intended economy. And, I think that population boost is only for ELWs and WWs, least I have...

Meh, sounds like a lot of steps to get credits or materials....both of which are easy to get more than you'll need by actually doing the game stuff instead of playing in menus... But hey. If it's fun for them. Some people like really weird...

There were a few alterations in the past. Both the T7 and the T9 got a cargo capacity buff. The FdL got it's power plant upgraded from size 5 to size 6. That last one caused some controversy, concerns that the FdL had become too good. And...

Not sure why you are using the Olympics as an example. According to your definition, the Olympics are not a COMPETITION, they are a TASK. Just run the 100m in 0.1s and you will get your gold medal. If you can't be bothered, you clearly don't care...

Again, you have made a great observation. Memory tells me that NPCs had to be tailored for the baseline player (so unengineered) in anything but CZ and 'special case' Pirate massacre missions. I've taken unengineered ships into a Haz Res and...

The point is, on the Panther you can get away with pretty much any bad build. I'm not necessarily asking for a Panther nerf. But the Beluga is the most extreme case of an older ship needing a buff to bring it more in line with modern offerings.

OP is conflating two different topics into one. I won’t explain how it’s done here, but you can prepare a bunch of low-cost chips, self-destruct and “end up” in one of them in a station halfway across the galaxy. The second topic is that with...

CGs don't involve competition with other players? Really? Do you understand how the ranks work? Have you noticed nearby markets get drained? Who is draining them? Also, players aren't just playing against others. They have their own goals. As...

Back to the station at the start of the run, if I understood correctly. I read the engineering part, my understanding is ppl were using the basic pre-built ship as-is. It sounds like there's some mechanisms here I don't know about..., my...

I mean, from the beginning of the game, someone was setting themselves up for disappointment if they honestly believed that they would get every species they wanted. That just was never going to happen, for anyone, unless someone had a really low...

I've spent a lot of time talking with game designers for some of the world's biggest MMO games, like World of Warcraft, and they have some hard stats that are interesting. One that I remember that applies here, is that it's not as important as...

I believe that's what I said. There's always going to be someone (probably many someones) who are unhappy with any decision made. That's literally what "can't win" means. Considering that FDev made a point of "player driven narrative" for most...

Hmm, then the people who only want interiors so that they can board other players' ships will be complaining about "people hiding in their ships".

Because everyone in the playerbase has the same outlook and opinion as the rest of the playerbase right? This "can't win" argument is pretty silly given how opinions can change over time, and not one person speaks the opinion of the community as...

This sounds fake. Respawn points are your last docked station if you are still allowed to dock there... So it would be the destination station. No? It's been years since i respawned. The suicide highway, i know is real, it's a tool to...

sounds to me as a golden opportunity - literally. Coriolis around the rocky (if no volcanism/bios there), T1 civ Port on surface (no RefHub as it generates weak links systemwide), HT Outpost around the WW (for the Pop-Boost of that one), Cori...

Absolutely. I'd argue that most of us would have said there were only ~10 species missing 4 DLCs ago - as long as they were the species each individual wanted. It won't stop me from hoping, but I'm at peace with the fact that I will never get...

I think it would be good for training and unranked matches. For ranked, sure, PvP only, but CQC has a huge issue with player numbers. If people getting to grips with the game and practicing against bots it might encourage people then to play...

I'll tell you what it looks from our perspective. I run a 400-people community. We organise CQC night. There are 20-30 people participating. We all go to CTF mode, as that's where the chads look last. We have an hour of good fun, with some...

You're talking about nice-to-haves in a game that is functioning. We're talking about how to salvage a game that is non-functioning.

Currently it is the Player vs Nobody experience. I've spent many hours in matchmaking, and maybe an hour or so playing, to 'grind' up to Amateur. We'd need server data from FDev to run the numbers, but I expect that for years it's been...

It actually seems fairly decent for what it is. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/loq-laptops/lenovo-loq-15ahp9/len101q0008#tech_specs I mean, its not ideal but should be fine... Just make sure the vents are free of obstruction so it can...
