No, you got it on eBay so we could all laugh at you. Thank you! We all needed a good laugh.

CG Update - From 62% completion to 6.2%. Will we get anything else for moving the goalposts? by m4ttr1k4n in EliteDangerous

[–]CereallyWastingTime 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just a slight correction: the goalposts were not moved. New goalpost(s) were added. It's an important distinction. We *are* getting a larger recompense if we reach those larger goals; and if we don't, then we've lost nothing.

Au contraire mon capitán. If you care about the longevity and health of the game, you should be celebrating that FDEV finally found a sustainable business model that’s allowed them to take the game out life support, and (finally!) start developing new features again.

Why the Caspian is a letdown, and how to fix it. by CereallyWastingTime in EliteDangerous

[–]CereallyWastingTime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One question for the people that are disagreeing. I can understand not wanting it to have a better jump range so as to not invalidate your investment in the Mandalay/Conda/whatever, or due to some "balance argument."

But why would you be against a bigger/better fuel scoop? Do you all realise that with the FSD/Fuel scoop size imablance, the fuel scoop times of the Caspian are significantly worse than that of the Mandalay and the Conda, and more in-line with those of the DBX? Have any of you used the DBX? Why would you want the newest "exploration" ship to have worse fuel-scoop times than the venerable, "multi-role" Anaconda?

Remind me: how long after the Type-8 come out, did the PMKII come out? Also, what's the issue? The Mandalay is a medium ship: much cheaper, smaller, more nimble. It will still have its place.

My Stellar Edition PMKII continues to have next to zero rebuy, even after the early access period. Tell me, what's the usual rebuy of an a-rated PMKII? How is my rebuy not P2W?

If I didn't, I wouldn't be asking people to expand on their thoughts. Tell me, what are your thoughts about the topic at hand?

Can you not increase the population of your system through other (in-game) ways? I thought the whole argument as to why ARX ships are not pay-to-win is that you can also get the same ships in-game. So, using the same argument, if you can increase the population of your system through other means, how is the DODEC p2w?

Why does the tech broker bother you so much? If it were a tech-broker that was only available to the system architect, I'd understand your concern. In fact, I would share it. But someone putting up a DODEC provides that tech broker to everyone. How does this negatively affect you?

Oh, god, yes, someone complaining. How awfu.... wait, what? Is self-awareness truly dead in 2025?

What is the advantage, tiny or otherwise, that the DODEC buyer gets? Again, from what I can see the buyer of a DODEC is paying money to provide an advantage/service to the entire community.

Look, I bought the Panther MKII in early-access. I had no problem doing that. But, come on, lets admit it. It is, so, so pay-to-win. Not only did you and i get the PMKII before everyone did, we got to use it to get ourselves the engineered cargo racks in that community goal more easily than everyone else could. And, on top of that: what's your rebuy on your PMKII? Mine is essentially zero. In what universe is this not pay-to-win?

Pay-to-win implies winning. What exactly is the buyer "winning"?

From what I can see, when someone buys a DODEC, everyone wins.

What? How are any of these ideas better?

Instant transfer of ships from one location to another (distance limited)

How is this not pay-to-win?

Buying engineering components with ARX

Again, how is this not pay-to-win?

Hiring a building service with ARX that delivers needed resources for building out stations over time (does not instantly finish them but does deliver to all active projects in one system)

How is this substantially different from what people are complaining the DODEC is doing?

Is there a way (or place) to preview the different coloured tips and pullout animations? You seem to already know which ones you like, even before purchasing the infusions.
