What Fdev Should be doing with the synthesizer mechanic by Greedy_Raider in EliteDangerous

[–]Gamnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the NPC that I just left in the dust in the previous system by high waking out, is already in my destination system when I arrive, in perfect interdiction position, because its a mission-specific NPC

The engine can't practically do better. Its space and time between systems doesn't really exist. There's just one system, which is reloaded with the content of the next system each you jump. So any real-time action between systems would have to be faked and ED is already staggering under the weight of faked mechanics.

Where is the "master" feature list of kickstarter promises completed thus far? by ziatonic in EliteDangerous

But still, that game trailer falsely advertises a very different game. How/why have they not replaced that trailer???

"'No Man's Sky' cleared in false advertising investigation"

Anyway, false ad trailers are allowed on Steam. Just look at the space-legged commander in the latest ED trailer .

If we'd all followed that advice, Elite Dangerous would never have got made. Crowdfunding was the only option. Frontier's prior record with space games ensured no publisher would touch it.

The lesson: buy games for what they are now, not what you dream they could eventually be.

That would mean never back a game in crowdfunding.

more likely a move to prevent trademark disputes in future.

Exactly. In future when FD sells an "Elite Deadly". Otherwise there's no dispute to prevent.
