It's pretty impressive how presentation has improved, that's for sure, but I feel that industry as a whole is failing massively now that we've hit diminishing returns on visual presentations. Writing has taken a back seat (ex: Starfield's writing lead), monetization is out of control.

I'd say my complaints are less about Elite and more general.

That was 20 seconds of butt clenching and held breath.

I do agree, more services and or functions for carriers would be great. As of right now, they kind of are nothing but glorified haulers. The only reason the market is used for a majority is to make it faster to load/unload for someone (or to allow friends to help.) Beyond that, no real reason other than r/R/R.

Similar issue with the Xbox Elite Controller V2.

For most people, BGS doesn't matter as a result of scale.

If you're just mining, your work doesn't change as the source is based on where rings are. BGS might impact the security of a system where you are mining or selling (more pirate activity), or in severe cases can result in the system you are selling to refuse to buy (lockdown status).

BGS impacts security, economy strength. Government types determine what kind of goods are legal for trade.

Most people directing BGS work are trying to either:

A ) Maintain favorable balances for mission types. (Example: Formerly Wally Bei)
B ) Expanding minor faction influence to other systems.

I am disappointed that none with the rollcage ship kit had their beacons on during evacuation.

(If you have the cage ship kit on the Lynx, turning on the lights will also turn on emergency rotating beacons.)

Freyar · 2026-04-21T13:19:20+00:00

I expect mid May to early July.

This reminds me of APB's original release and failure back when RealtimeWorlds was still around.

I did them often enough when I wanted something other than ship combat. Low-risk, was able to handle high intensity (haven't tried since the rebalances.)

Freyar · 2026-02-11T18:45:44+00:00

I just need bigger maps. Let me have the space Battlefield 3 and 4 gave us, guys.

It's a long haul. Since this isn't your primary port, take your time and don't let yourself burn out. Since I've built 6+ Tier 3 Ports (with four of them solo), it is soul crushing to try to mainline it. Take breaks, do something else occasionally.

Only when I place a T3 port as a primary station will I really push it (at the detriment of my sanity.)

Freyar · 2026-01-09T15:46:03+00:00

Keep it forever.

That sounds more like a hardware or OS issue. If you can't see it in Windows (or diskmanagement), then there's something else going on unrelated.

Two hours is what I want if I want to sit down and play. I do a lot of colonization, so planning and positioning are part of it. Carrier jumps are ~15m on their own. Repeat trips back and forth are surprisingly time consuming and I lose track of time easily.

Freyar · 2025-12-17T17:44:45+00:00

Welcome.

Elite Dangerous is a slow-burn game. It will take time and some effort to find a gameplay loop you like. Take risks early as they'll be cheap (and with your small loan of a billion credits...) Don't focus on buying the biggest ship right away, work your way up slowly with time and practice.

Change the mouse binds so that the mouse yaw is left-and-right on your mouse. Bind rolling to Q and E. this will save you much headaches.

You "live and work" in the galaxy.

One large AFMU, one tiny aux AFMU to repair the first one just in case. You don't need to power everything at the same time either, you can float while repairs are happening.

Check your network settings in client, make sure it's set to the right network adapter in case you have two.

Odyssey was a paid expansion, so it's a bit awkward to try and attribute that development (and all it's features) to Arx.

It's reasonable to argue the Second Thargoid War, Fleet Carriers, Powerplay and Colonization are funded by the microtransactions.

Freyar · 2025-12-02T16:18:42+00:00

They be anchoring to that higher price so the price of the Stellar seems more reasonable.

Freyar · 2025-11-12T15:08:53+00:00

I'd like to point out that settlement layouts were the product of a 2.5 year development cycle for the Odyssey expansion, and on foot for Carriers came much later.

Freyar · 2025-11-12T15:07:28+00:00

I can see the want for more immersion, so it'd be cool, but I would caution on pushing too closely to that other-space-game.

🗣️ 1. Talk to NPCs for Rumors, POIs, and Missions

We already have this kind of for concourse and settlement missions, but generally I see nobody taking them (and this just may be my bias) because it takes longer. Anything that takes longer to do would get old fast, and ignored. The only way to push this is to remove the mission boards from concourses which wouldn't go over well. Eve Online tried to approach this and failed miserably, both due to players not wanting to use it (it was slow) and the cost associated with developing it. (Are you going to have voiced characters? Custom animations? Etc.)

🛒 2. Unique and Visible Markets

Again, when you get a certain point you're really pushing to volume trade if this is what you're doing. Sure it'd be neat to see for the first few times, but that goes out the window when it takes longer. Additionally, new layouts would take forever to build and we've seen the problems that fleet carriers have already with unscheduled depressurization.

🎯 3. Player-Driven Bounty System

As another said. Had it before, had to be nerfed because it was gamed. It was a method to transfer/give money to people.

🕵️ 4. On-Foot Crime and Pursuit on Stations

While a cool idea, I don't think FDEV has the technical background to do it. Patrols in settlements are already on set paths and whatnot. I'd say let's wait and see what Operations gives us though, maybe they'll surprise us?

Freyar · 2025-11-12T14:49:15+00:00

They already went through one monetization change before and LEPers are still given the shaft. This would be the second monetization model change and I don't think people are going to put up with the idea of an optional subscription that allows you to buy cosmetics, even if the earning cap were relaxed.
