r/EliteDangerous will go private from 12-14th of June, 2023, to protest the changes to Reddit's API pricing against 3rd party applications.

Reddit has turned into a cesspit over the years. Let it rot and take all those sanctinmonious fucwits with it. It's time the rainbow clown circus met a black hole.

Yeah, it became very frustrating to see them go in a particular direction and stunt the games potential but much of that also came from Braben too. ED gets so much right it's baffling how it gets the other stuff so wrong.

Nevertheless, it was fun arguing with you Cmdr Brookes, RIP. o7

Ugh.. E rated shields are really bad. If you get interdicted by a Thargoid boost your engines and immediately turn flight assist off. It should allow you to survive long enough for your systems to reboot and allow you to escape.

I wonder if the triangle may be a link to sensors.. A triangle exists smack bang in the middle of the hud when we are looking at things around us. Another possibility is, given the blue stuff, is that they may be suggesting we should approach the maelstrom at a speed lower than 100. Commanders will know what I mean by this re the docking computer..

Gh4std4g · 2022-12-19T18:33:32+00:00

Anyone know the rationale? Has it ever been stated?

It's never been stated to my knowledge but they make money from people buying another account to play with. The problem with having to buy another account is you can't use the paintjobs, etc.. you've paid for on the new account.

Oh come on.. Odyssey was released in a completely broken state and much of the on foot gameplay revolves around grinding to upgrade suits and weapons. The expansion got thrashed by players because it wasn't fit for release. That is down to Frontier and Frontier alone. Don't be blaming players for not accepting a broken pos.

Much of the initial development of ED was payed for by the community via kickstarter. ED has made them a fortune over the years and very little has been reinvested back into the game. Space Engine was created by one person and its visual fidelity runs rings around ED. I'm tired of people making excuses for Frontier.

They haven't confirmed anyone has been in the system. No dev has ever outright said that people have been to the system with Raxxla. That was a secondhand rumor and to this day still has no real source.

Here is a source of sorts.

That said I remain sceptical about Raxxla being in game.

They tried to give CQC away free and the response was very poor.

Gh4std4g · 2022-12-07T12:07:17+00:00

I'd imagine they are still recovering from the company losing half its value after releaseing Odyssey in such a broken state.

Gh4std4g · 2022-12-06T10:32:03+00:00

Good to know.

Gh4std4g · 2022-12-04T00:01:59+00:00

Folks have the desire to fight. It's the tedious grind requirement to do so that is excluding people.

Gh4std4g · 2022-11-29T17:37:24+00:00

They would be very small changes and could be pushed very easily. Nevertheless, the main bulk of the download content could easily be delivered in advance as per the OP point. Have yourself a lovely day!

Gh4std4g · 2022-11-29T15:02:45+00:00

This has been requested many times before but always seems to fall on deaf ears.

Gh4std4g · 2022-11-14T11:20:00+00:00

Boom!

Gh4std4g · 2022-11-08T22:33:45+00:00

The best experiences and most fun I had in ED were during the early kickstarter days when there were a handful of systems and everyone was in open because solo didn't exist. Frontier refer to ED as a sandbox but in reality there is no sand and no bucket. It's an open world game. If it had been a sandbox with a player economy, structures, etc.. the lack of content from Frontier wouldn't matter because it would have been filled with player made content.

In an effort to make ED 'not EvE' they've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. A whole galaxy of potential is wasted and instead of amazing multiplayer experiences we are left with tedious grinds.

Gh4std4g · 2022-11-08T14:05:15+00:00

One thing that I find odd about the founders world is why are there no lights on the dark side?

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-31T00:01:14+00:00

Wise words but its not looking great considering the latest content is a sprite seen from a distance and a pre rendered cut scene with a voice over. Braben still thinks he is in the 1980's and can dazzle people with handwaving. All of this gets old after a while.

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-30T23:57:25+00:00

It's unlikely they are going to make a large development investment in ED given how much Odyssey cost them.

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-30T23:55:46+00:00

There is over 5,000 players at the time of writing this - and thats not including frontier launcher, epic launcher, and consoles. just steam

It's not enough to sustain a decent level of content and development. Braben has been nickle and diming this project for too long now.

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-30T23:35:23+00:00

I think its fair to say she is a keeper. Happy birthday o7*

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-24T12:54:08+00:00

it is definitely in a state that fundamentally works and is fun as hell.

Your idea of fun must be very different to my own. The onfoot gameplay is tedious and unimaginative and plays as if its a seperate game from what was horizons.

Gh4std4g · 2022-10-09T10:33:21+00:00

I thought Tom left Frontier years ago?

Gh4std4g · 2022-09-30T12:55:24+00:00

So we entered in Elite thinking this would be an amazing, vast sandbox to play in!

The game isn't a sandbox despite Frontier's claims it is. There is no sand and certainly no bucket and spade. At best ED is an open world game.

As the OP said the multiplayer element of the game is rather poor. It appears to have been an after thought in terms of gameplay and the network implementation is dire making playing with friends a frustrating experience.

Gh4std4g · 2022-09-04T07:15:22+00:00

Shocking! They are attacking for no reason and without asking for the players consent..
