If frontier bothered to add some depth to their mechanics the game would be so god damn boring. Even trucksim has enough elements like following the rules of the road, gas consumption (fuel hardly matters in elite) and rest, the most you have to worry about in elite is getting interdicted but its easy to escape.
hell, if they just made docking more difficult by making the speed at which each station rotated it might make things a little more challenging

>>387439193
>made docking more difficult
You obviously don't smuggle. Launching yourself into a station opening, running silent with all systems and engines disabled and hoping you didn't mess up the trajectory or crash into something is pretty thrilling. Actually, probably the only thrilling thing the game has to offer.

>>387437415
Ok, I get it, it's shit. Now name a good space game. I never played one and everybody talk like all the space sims except X3, but X3 is a economy sim

>>387439505
What's the difficulty if you use heat sinks?

Are there any games in the genre with decent single player campaigns other than Freelancer?

>>387437415

Yeah, that pretty much nails it. I can't really put vast amounts of play time into the game in one sitting - maybe an hour or two at most. Over time, though, you get better ships/weapons. I've recently been carrying passengers to and from destinations for a decent amount of credits. To me the game if for relaxing and winding the day down.

I keep trying to drop the fucking game, but the fact that it's the only reason I ever bought a HOTAS means that if I want to play with it, I have to play E:D.

Why can't we get another space sim?

I was confused too at first. I didn't know how quests work. I remember accepting one quest, when I first started, where I had to destroy what looked like an entire fleet of giant ships by myself in my small sidewinder. I ended up just trading endlessly until I bought bigger and bigger ships which brought me some satisfaction.

it's a complex game, actually. the problem with it is that there's no atmospheric landings or walking around. combat is actually really cool and tough.

it is a slog and that's why a lot of people don't like it. i think it's fun though, and 2.4 will add enemy aliens to the game.
exploration is dry, but going to different nebulae, neutron stars, or other celestial objects is actually fun.
the ships are cool and all have different engine sounds and cockpits.

I backed both, still own both - ED has tons of issues by modern day standards - but it's essentially the "eurotrucker" simulator of space games. That's its flaw- it's a very polished "niche" game in all honesty - but it's also old-school in its execution.

>>387446747
Yeah they stopped it in like 2015. Pick up Flaming Cliffs 3 when that goes on sale though, it'll be like 15-20 bucks for like 6 planes.

It's horribly grindy if you want to get the best combat ships and fully kit them out, you will probably need hundreds of hours to max out a Federal Corvette

But you can get a decently equipped fighter (viper 3 or vulture) in a day or two, and be capable of taking on most 1v1 PvE encounters

Or if you want to do exploring that's basically fully available from the beginning

>>387437415
I want to go bugblasting and bounty hunting and the grinding you need to do to get a decent ship is ridiculous.

Still not that great.
Fleet control is ass.
You can only fly one ship.
Universe feels small despite not being.
Trading is the most unintuitive thing ever.
In fact just about everything in Rebirth is unintuitive.
And there's no ship descriptions as far as I can tell, so I have no idea if the ship I just captured is a fighter or a freighter.
Can't tell by looking at it because all ships look same.
And why the fuck are there different kinds of cargo?

you buy a scannerworth a million credits and a frameshift drive worth another million first :^)
Then in galaxy map there is a tab in which you can filter out red stars and protostars. Only rocks orbit near them s it's worthless.
When you jump in a system fire the scanner, open system map, if you see clouded or or earth-like planets select them and get close enough for the automated scan to activate, let it finish and you're done. When you have scanned enough dock into a station, select universal cartographics and sell that shit. Don't get your ship blown up in the process or you lose all data and can't sell anymore.
Profit are higher with the 500,000 credits Surface scanner installed :^)

There you go, literally wait for a star system to load, scan, get close to a planet, rinse and repeat.

I got my moneys worth out of E:D, about 80 hours.
My favorite was flying around in the ASP fitted for mining and combat.
Had a lot of fun flying around in the high risk mining zones firing drones at possible good asteroids while dodging the other ones, and often ending up in heated exchanges.
Then you realize the next ship you want to buy will require about 30 hours of grinding and it just isnt worth it.
People complain the game is just flat out boring but im not really sure what those people expected. It was never advertised as being "LOADS OF ACTION" type game. I just wanted a space sim where i could sit back and cruise through space, minding my own business and doing oddjobs.

OP here, no I haven't lost my T7. Actually It's sitting there since I found out it can't land in outposts, so I can't farm trading quests for Empire reputation optimally. So I'm saving up for a trading Python since it can land there and cargo is just as good as T7. I think I'll give up well before I reach that point though.

Wow that looks boring

>>387437415
No Man Sky is literally a better game now than this, much cheaper too. And you get to scan a million things in a more fun way.

Is the combat really all joust, u-turn, repeat?

>>387457594
Use the eddb trade loop finder to find an Imperial slave loop with your T7. You will get Imperial rep and money. Buy an A-kitted Vulture, which you can save up for very quickly with a T7, and then just grind imperial combat missions boards with it. You will faceroll anything the missions send your way and get the rep faster.

No its charge head on, duck at the last moment underneath your opponent, pitch upwards so you are facing their belly, decelerate and use thrusters to stay underneath them while shooting until they die.

theres so much information to take in at the beginning of the game that it is quite jarring. Way too many controls for very niche tasks. So much so that it turned many including me from the game. I wanted to get into it since i like the genre but its also just boring.

Yeah and still no proper planetary surfaces. Empty, barren rocks with a little base on them don't count.

Last time i played i accidentally stole some guys kill, so he rammed my ship until i exploded.

I tried to fight him, but the controls were extremely finicky and it wasn't possible to hit him. Not with my skill level.

Double AK CSGO btw.

It's pretty awkward if you're using a controller. I've done it a few times while streaming it to my tablet and it wasn't nearly as good as using a joystick and keyboard.

im just saying that theres an overwhelming amount of controls, so much that its a barrier to entry. I gave it its fair shake, but maybe its not for me.

I only play this game in short bursts nowadays. Everything is such a fucking grind but it's combat model is neat and the sound design is great.

Call me when they add new SRVs.

ED is the most shallow space game I've played.

NPCs, wreckage, planet points of interests, bounty hunters and practically everything only spawns if a player is near.

Nothing exists outside players perception. Everything is just RNG dice rolls with no persistence. You travel in a system, roll for an event and it gets generated right in front of your face. If you get a bounty then NPCs will spawn just for you that magically scan you no matter the distance and will bother you for a full week until it times out. If you pickup a single unit of any cargo then suddenly magical NPCs will start spawning to interdict you at every turn and loot it from you. Go near any asteroid and just look at it from up close and NPC pirates spawn to scan you for ores.

It's very pretty though.

You guys should play the original Elite. At the link there's a browser playable version of the early DOS port, which is close enough to the BBC micro version.

Elite: Dangerous is more or less the same ancient game. There's some more advanced graphics and sound, but play for a little bit and you'll see that the game holds quite close to the original design.

It's been at $22 for 3 days.

>>387464791
>just wing missions in general like a raid boss or something
I would like ED if it was at all fucking possible to just jump into some PvE with others easily

For a game thats multiplayer its pretty fucking lacking on letting people play together.

>>387470187
And? By default it should be <20$

It isnt a AAA title, its a indie shitshow

>>387469551
>>387469572
And it still is. The gameplay loop is the same if not worse than ED's. Slapping bandages in the form of building shitty bases (which you will never return to) does not fix every planet being the same, with the same buildings, the same aliens, and the same boring creatures to find.

>>387470665
You've not been playing it with these updates, there's plenty of activities related to Foundation and Pathfinder to do now, and with Atlas Rises you have a good 20-30 hours of story, lore and other side activities to engage in.

>>387463209
>since I like the genre
nah buddy, you might like the idea of it but if the thought ever crosses your mind that a simulator has too many controls/too much information, you don't like the genre

>>387470834
And I'm not going to play it with these updates, because (and I'm repeating myself now) the gameplay loop is go to planet generic planet, gather fuel, do some tedious mining, rinse and repeat. Hello Games had ED to learn from and they fucked up even worse.

>>387464091
Thinking about making a trip out to Sagittarius A*, but I don't want to be 26,000ly from Sol when the Thargoids show up, so I'm hesitant to start the journey.

The same way you do everything else in the game, you grind. Accept missions by dirty, inferior federation members and raise your reputation with the fed to get a permit. Yoy also need to find, accept and do some Navy supply quest to actually rank up when you reach 100%.

No Man's Sky outsold Elite Dangerous. Why because yeah the devs bullshitted a bit but they did in the end put all the stuff they promised in NMS.
