Likely 2-3 months pushback for 2.2 and every subsequent update, because fdev is incredibly incompetent. Just look how long it took to fix the auto turreting in PP CZs. And that was a tiny, tiny issue.

When will forumdads learn that facebook timers are not gameplay, no ones going to sit and do missions or read galnet or whatever the fuck they think we'll do when the timers are just long enough that the only thing you can do is alt tab and watch Netflix or something. I'd rather they were 1-24 hours or some shit so at least there'd be some sort of planning or thought behind it rather than it being just long enough to make me stop playing for the night.

With all the talk about muh immurshun and muh realism maybe they'll push for cargo loading and repairs to take several hours too.

Relatively new to Elite Dangerous. Making money through doing delivery missions but I can't figure out why some places have "high" paying missions for >100,000 and others are much lower.

I heard that systems with high tech economies are good places to go, but this doesn't always seem to be the case. Is there a way to find these missions and are certain areas better?

one of the things that affects mission payouts if your rep with the faction giving the mission. The higher the rep, the more dosh they'll pay you.
Also look what state the system is in, is it Boom, Bust, Famine etc, because that changes what type of missions will appear.

Remote combat drones sounds like something a modern day corvette would have, so obviously CIG won't do that since it would ruin their WWII in space theme. Expect more manned turrets in terrible locations instead.

Honest question:

If ED were to give you the ability to walk around and interact with your ship in little ways, what would you want to be able to do?

Mine:

>Customize living spaces
>Run appliances like coffee brewers, tea brewers, and microwaves.
>Sleep
>Interact with ship pets. (Like a cat or dog that you can, but don't have to, feed.)

When you say rep with a faction, do you mean the specific faction in the station that I'm getting the mission from, or that factions allegiance to the Federation or Empire for example.

This is something that has been confusing me, because (at least how I have been playing) it seem that I am never in the same place for long enough to build any serious reputation bonus with them. Does it make sense to try and stay in the same area and boost your reputation?

>>154579415
Honestly I came to this game with the sole intention of making cash. My plan is to buy bigger ships with bigger cargo holds and keep making money. I'm a space trucker. I won't be one of the people I've seen bemoaning the grind. I'm in it for the grind and I'm finding it very relaxing.

That's a lot of games to be fair. I mean there are a ton of games these days with levelling systems which provide increasingly small returns the more you play. MMO's and RPG's. Shooters have gone to town with it in recent years. But people keep playing through that same gameplay loop.

Eventually you get bored and move onto the next game.

The specific faction in a station. But having a high rep with the superpower the system faction is aligned with makes it easier to gain rep with them.
If youre mainly doing missions then yes stay in the area and get cosy with a faction. Some have influence in nearby systems so keep an eye out for that.

>I won't be one of the people I've seen bemoaning the grind.
Once you realise how much multilayered grind the game is built on you will. Enjoy it while you can, because even if you enjoy the grind it will get to you. Its why /edg/ couldnt keep its threads alive on its own, anons play for a while then get bored of the grind. After a bit the itch for space games returns or a new patch is released and they come back.
Its why the whole necron thing started

I'll see if I can help:
1. Unknown. There are drones guaranteed, but the gameplay regarding them hasn't been worked out. Repair drones are the only ones that are currently in the game with reduced functionality to what they will be. Strapping guns to them and sending them out to remotely secure your ship out of sanctioned landing zones isn't hard to see, but again, we just don't know what they want to do with them in full.

2. You should be able to man them with AI crewman who will be paid out of your pocket. They're considering how they want multiplayer to work and one of the options is jump-in jump-out, where they take over one of your AI crewmen. Again, the gameplay elements aren't nailed down, but that's what they've talked about.

3. Unfortunately, no. The game in it's current form is as close to a demo as we're going to get, but the optimization is absolute garbage, as you'd expect from a pre-alpha. I'm trying to think of a good way to test whether or not you can run it without downloading the entire thing and booting it up yourself, but I don't know what the metrics are these days.

4. They want to add the near-full gamut of customization options with the next patch, 2.6. They've recently talked about whether they want to go full Morrowind with it where you can mix and match left and right arms, left and right legs, chests, helmets, and suits when you're wearing space protection, or if they want to limit it a little to just arms, legs, chests, helmets, and the suit underneath them "for performance reasons." So we'll see what they go for. Personally, I'm hoping for the full Morrowind treatment.

jump range is the only thing holding me back from enjoying this game, with 90% of the ships having no range and taking forever to get anywhere (unless you use RNGineers) it gets old quick.

To offer the perspective of a psychologist and anecdotal evidence:

Some people brains are chemically and structurally different to that of the majority of people. These people have a harder time to learn empathy and socially advantageous behavior. Some are fully unable to understand it, we frame them as psychopaths. Important to learn here is the difference from learning and understanding empathy.

Now to my anecdote. I have been playing a certain game with friends and a great community for years. There were always some troublemakers and some of them even streamed, had social media and were active on youtube. They would offer more information than it is good for them, but people are naive. So when the community went downhill I left and so did most of my friends. A couple of years later, the servers were continued to run by a third party, the troublemaker is still playing and cheating and using every tool there is to beat and harass the losers. I saw that on his social media he was connected and friends with Ku- Klux- Clan members, and Neo- party. It is incredibly difficult for guys like him to learn the meaning of love. Hate is their general tendency. It is in human nature and for some reason, which I would like to learn about, it was advantageous for our race.

I really do love the Aegis HUDs. The Sabre, Vanguard, Gladius, and Retaliator are brilliant, too. The Retaliator kind of goes disco-room when you get into the pilot's seat, though.

Best places to get items I've found:
Arsenic: Deciat 4 surface, 2.1% arsenic black outcroppings and metallic asteroids but has decent gravity so it's easy to drive on.
Chemical Manipulators: Anarchy system in war state, look for combat aftermath or "Seeking Weapons" point of interest, there's 3 type-9s in there and one's bound to have some chemical manipulators, once killed all 3, exit to main menu and return, re-kill the type-9s until you have enough chemical manipulators.
Datamined Wake Echos: famine system at a distribution center, bring a 4km wake scanner and sit where the 6-8 sidewinders jump away every 2 minutes. I have 100+ datamined wake echos thanks to this so I'll never need to do this ever again.

>why even have an mmo with different ships if you can teleport the slowest ships instantly

Jump range has never been a part of making a ship unique.

The largest part of any ship is how it flys (Thrusters,) Hardpoint placement, and sounds.

Sucky jump range is just that: sucky. It adds nothing.

Is that delay arbitrary, or is it there because an NPC is physically flying your ship to destination, and therefore susceptible to player interdiction?

Big ships should be a priority tbqh, even if we can't fly them for another few seasons simply having massive bulk freighters flying around and frigates/cruisers/carriers in CZs add a nice bit of variety to the game and give us something other than ww2 dogfighting. As well as small stations and shit (which are thankfully coming in 2.2) to fight over and have more variety for missions with. Its not much but I'd rather have that than powerplay and engineers.

CZs should feel like actual fleet battles, not random hairballs over nothing

Thats what I was trying to say, CZs should be over installations or fleets trying to buy time to jump or supply convoys or literally anything , the current system is just retarded and I really hope part of adding installations in 2.2 means we get actual decent CZs and checkpoints.

The entire war system needs an overhaul really, you should sign up for a faction and then be part of that war where ever you are in the system with loads of objectives and shifting locations to fight at.

Planets do provide a nice visual backdrop, but there should at least be some kind of building outpost they are fighting around. I don't see why they can't insert the CQC map assets.

Of course the best would be to have the fighting outside a station and make it inaccessible to dock. But this is just one more huge obvious problem in a game full of problems. I doubt it will ever get addressed.

Would love it if the game ran a small simulation of the wars/civil wars with set goals.

Like claim this resource extraction site, station/outpost, capture this land colony, capture this world.

Bulk freighters could go into that, like "capture/destroy these bulk freighters" or fuel tankers or command centers (frigate sized capship) or carriers (frigate-destroyer sized, mobile base)

Like say, the game decides that faction A is running low on fuel, so some fuel tanker capships are spawned and start travelling to whatever strongpoint in the system is for faction A. If faction B manages to destroy or capture the tankers, faction A will "lose" this engagement and that'll count against it in determining the winner of the war.

Would love bulk freighters as a moving point of interest in systems, like pirate bases that are bulk freighters hidden in asteroid fields or a bulk freighter that moves between DISTANT systems every 5 minutes, dock with it and it'll take you there. Or how about a refueling tanker parked nav beacons, selling fuel at 10x the price in a station but you get the convenience of not having to go to the station.

Thats my dream for how wars work as well. Especially if it was integrated into the mission and naval rank system.

Imagine taking a mission to assault a convoy with an NPC task force actually flying as wing mates. Imagine slowly taking and holding territory that matters as part of something that feels like an actual navy. It could slowly build up and escalate ending with assaulting an enemy station with a full fleet or helping to rout an actually threatening capital ship from a system forcing the enemy to flee with it. Some of these battles could take a while too with major battles being something that might take a day but ebb and wane in intensity.

Of course non of this will ever happen but I can dream. At least the new cod will give me a brief taste of space battles that feel like they matter for the 9 hours the campaign will last.

There's at least one person here who will hate every single design the game's put forth, but I feel like there's enough variety that damn near every ship will have at least one fan of how it looks. The Mustang has the least detractors on looks, but the most on mechanics due to the janky way they had to set up the engines in order for the ship to even fly at all. The Redeemer, meanwhile, is a memeship that's not as bad as people like to pretend it is. Most are just salty their own pet ship didn't get in, especially those Scimitar folks.

Star Citizen's really a game of choosing which ship you like and getting the maximum performance out of it.

There doesn't have to be. It's a cargo transporter not a battleship.

Then I wasn't talking about you, clearly.
What I mostly meant, though, was that each ship will have at least one person who hates it. But we do have people in here who will claim there's not a ship design in the game out of a few dozen that they like.

>>154590278
It's a bit big for that particular chart. I didn't make it, though. The Endeavor looks like it'll be a blast, and the gameplay opportunities make me a bit giddy.

Man, yeah, the Retaliator should've been so good. All they needed to do was give it pilot-slaved guns like Wing Commander's Broadsword. Poor thing won't be good to fly without it.

They all frustrated me, too. None of them looked like they were built by the same company they were supposed to be, save the Brutus, and the one you posted was particularly bad. We might disagree over which ship looked the most promising, I personally think the Brutus deserved a better chance, especially given CIG's track record with Drake, but the Redeemer is definitely not as bad as it's made out to be.

Not in a world that has extremely reliable energy shielding technology that would be a hard requirement for FTL or anywhere approaching travel.

Making your ship about 100 times heavier for no reason isn't logical.
>>
>>154592980

If shields are enough to protect cargo containers from the elements of space, having them exposed like that seems incredibly realistic to me.

Even shield redundancy would be perfectly acceptable if the risk of shield failure is small.

It's fucking space, you gain a bit of mass, that's it. It is nothing compared to the chance of losing a gazzilion dollars worth of cargo, even if the chance is small.

Shields break down, sure.

If shields break at FTL speeds, your ship would immediately disintegrate and/or have a spec of space dust rip a bus sized hole through your entire hull.

So no, I would say they're both extremely reliable and with many backup systems, to the point at which you're basically arguing that civillian airline passengers should be issued parachutes. Except worse than that, really.

I'm saying your original argument that its a videogame and it isn't a gameplay feature so it doesn't matter was bad and you should argue that it makes sense within the games lore/design.

First, it's not just about the mass. The way Hulls are built mean that they collapse easy for storage and they're easy to load up quickly and efficiently.

Second, of course they would, cargo ships in real life get lost all the time and they hold more than the Hull E ever would.

Clearly we took different paths. I was a medic and a security officer, mainly. Both were jobs that were seriously underappreciated. Enjoyed Engineering, too, though the fucking goddamn solar panels always pissed me off. Every time I'd finish wiring the damn things it was time to evacuate. Kept me mostly safe, though.

You die a lot as a nurse. People like stoving your head in and stealing your medical supplies while you're just trying to stabilize a patient that took plasma burns. Arguably, the clown is more infuriating as a first responder than a security officer.

While I don't want something as... Involved, shall we say, as Space Station 13 for Star Citizen, I hope they take some inspiration from it for the miscellaneous jobs you can do.

Like they can instantly redistribute shield power after every hit, so you can never just punch through one quadrant and have to effectively take down all four simultaneously.

Firea is a out of date ship and won't appear in the game, unless a specific mission in the far future PU requires it or it's debri to appear as part of a quest. It's from a few years back.


Now for the reveal, since the other Anon won't play.

It's the MISC Pioneer, of course! Who's a better company to produce a ship to escort freighters than the company with all the data on pirate attacks against them? Misc! With their brand new 2946 model Misc Pioneer, the big up-gunned brother to the Endeavor front section. While it not be as speedy and offensive as a RSI or Aegis warship, the Misc Pioneer offers an armory full of defensive weaponry and a long range scanning suite to detect and prevent any would-be raiders who think they can peform a suprise attack on any ship from the MISC or MISC HULL-Series lineup!

No mod needed. It's called the Misc Endeavor.

Though to be fair, the Engineering crews on any sufficently large ship will lock themselves away and rename engineering Enginia, Metopia, Communist State of United Maintenance Workers, Singutropolis. Aslong as you provide them with food occasionally, they'll keep your ship running.

Sure it'll be mainstream, but you can not deny the tendency for the human psyche to do terrible things in a world where consequences are internalized so long as you adhere to rules that only preclude that behavior in specific circumstances.

For example, in Space Station 13 if you're an antagonist you can do whatever the fuck you want to anyone else. If you're just a crew member without an antagonist role you will be punished for killing other people for no reason.

Now, in Star Citizen, CIG aren't going to be banning people for attacking another ship, boarding it, spacing the owner's pets, burning all of their cargo in front of them, and then ruthlessly executing them. If the consequences are internalized then people will do awful things just for amusement.

>>154626170

You steal the ship, not the insurance. Owner gets stock loadout replacement. Whether you can insure a stolen ship or not has not been stated, but I wouldn't count on it. They can't have too many ships floating around or it destroys the ship's value.

Most reasonable way to handle that is to cause stolen ships to have significantly diminished market value and/or be uninsurable. Like how stolen cars are extremely difficult to fence but you can take them to a chop shop and sell them for their parts/salvage.
>>
>>154626170
The forum theory that I saw was that a stolen ship wouldn't be insurable and restricted to landing/docking in anarchy/pirate stations. So ships in pirate territory would be cheap and relatively disposable.

>>
>>154628052
>>154627178

The reason no one is going to try to run insurance scams on ships they have LTI with is because CIG have outright said they'll remove the LTI off the ship of anyone that does.

It all started with the whole instant ship transfer vote.

The dads never really thought past immersion, honestly. They were so blinded by the vision that they never stopped to ask what all of these extra timers would add to the game.

After the 2.2 update, everyone almost completely forgot about the whole ship transfer system. Why would you sit and wait for an hour to have your ship moved to you?

However, this sparked controversial ideas on the forums. What other things could be made more realistic just by adding a timer to it?

Soon, the dads were wanting timers on loading cargo into your ship, a cool down was added to how often you could rearm your ship, and buying a new ship now involved actual paperwork and tracking of your credit score.

Then... it happened. Tools like eddb.io and Coriolis were made a bannable offence. Even players using Innara to help with Engineers were banned in the name of "Immersion."

Elite didn't last a month after that.

Dads bitching about immersion is fucking hilarious. Honestly if Elite had a crazy immersive universe I might care about maintaining it. But Powerplay, Synthesis/Engineer mats/data treasure hunt, and countless other gamey systems means there's no immersion left anyway.
>>
>>154629216
They are gonna have an in-lore dedicated team responsible for handling insurance fraud and exploiting etc. they have access to literally everything so unless you run some kind of darknet style black market insurance scam setup where everything is handles by third parties they are gonna find out easily.
>>
>>154629795
Please stop going on about immersion. For many people this issue has nothing to do with immersion.

It has to do with breaking the game on a mechanical level.

It is about throwing all the balance out of the game that FD themselves have gone to the trouble of putting in.

Reducing this to a counter argument of how 'if you don't want to to use it then don't' just doesn't wash, sorry!

Everyone else using the feature will unbalance and disrupt many areas of the game that many posters across many threads have clearly pointed out.

so let me spell it out:

There are some of us who oppose instant transfer who could'nt care less about immersion

Jump range is not balance.

A combat ship having smaller jump range does not balance it.
>>
>>154630685
This. Magic teleportation does not break immersion; it breaks gameplay. Now there is no point anymore in choosing the best configuration balance for your ship - just set up a long distance runner then instantly teleport your appropriate extremely specialized ship. No more planning, no more strategic choices. This is now an arcade.

And thus, I complete the Federation questline, where I started as a lowly cadet, doing mission after mission, meeting interesting characters and having to make hard choices. Eventually my adventure lead me from one end of the Federation to the other until finally, my story reached it's conclusion. Thus, I returned to Sol, birthplace of humanity, and the president offered me praise and a seat on the Admiralty council in a grand ceremony over Earth. Forever my ship shall adorn the emblem of the federation.

The sad thing is they could have added some kind of "Navy questline" to both Imp and Feds, both empires have lots of permit systems that don't have any way to get those permits like Mingfu or LFT 509. Perfect places for "single player"ish instanced missions with lots of scripted events. Hell, have some missions where imperials and feds are flying their assigned navy ships with actual goals to accomplish for either side. Sort of a Squadron 42, where instead of doing random missions for random factions until you get an email that your rank went up 1, player has to finish hand crafted scripted missions, pre mission briefings, get dialog choices, end mission recaps, something saying how your actions affected the universe, have some permanent positive and negative effects/relations, whatever. Crap, even a lousy decal for each superpower would have been something. This is literally nothing.

It already has a reason to exist.

What's your point? They're both combat ships, they'll do combat missions in the PU and the Sabre is a superior combat ship and will be able to take on larger threat missions and make more profit.
>>
>>154636138

Both are combat ships with no other function.

One is blatantly better.

Unless CR has completely thrown out the idea of horizontal progression, this is not a good thing.
>>
>>154636302
>>154636362

My point is that AC isn't a typical combat scenario, lacks a whole major flight mode that helps the Gladius, lacks major combat mechanics..

In short, its incredibly incomplete. So to say one is better than the other is shortsighted at best.
>>
>>154636401
Which is why the Sabre still beats the Gladius?

The Gladius is, in lore and gameplay, a older model. The Sabre is just as Manuverable, very close in speed, and holds a much superior weapon capacity.

Throw them both in the PU, now or at release, the Sabre will still be superior.

It's like putting a disposable spoon next to a metal spoon and saying that you can't judge which is best because you only have a yogert pot to eat out of, not a full meal. You can still tell which is better regardless.
>>
>>154636401

And what would the Gladius have over a ship that vastly outguns it in exchange for being marginally slower?

Ability to get a new one quicker when you die to a superior combat ship?
>>
>>154636602
>Throw them both in the PU, now or at release, the Sabre will still be superior.

Didn't realize you had a magic crystal ball, anon

>>154636632
Almost 100m/s slower in Cruise that allows the Gladius to engage and disengage at will fairly easily.

But other than that anon, are you joking? You realize this game is in development and CIG doesn't bother fine tuning balance?

Sabre could have
-Shit armor
-Low range
-Manouverability dampened
-Component restrictions

All kinds of bullshit. People seem to focus on gun size and speed as hard numbers without looking at soft stats and stuff that isn't directly explained. Its retarded to say you know what they will be like down the road or in the PU, because some of the systems that may balance them out don't even exist yet.

I'm judging by the Sabre's Q&A, design comments by CIG, and the fact it lives up to that. Gladius is over two hundred years old in the lore, Sabre is brand new.
>>

design comments like "no ship will be a direct upgrade, but rather a horizontal one", you mean?

You realize every Q&A sells the ship hard, right?
>>
>>154641442
>I'm judging by the Sabre's Q&A, design comments by CIG, and the fact it lives up to that.

They called it a stealth ship, which it isn't right now.

They said "The Sabre on the other hand is not tough, it relies heavily on its ability to not be detected", which isn't true right now either.

They said "It is not aimed to be the faster ship when it arrives in AC as remember TR rating is not completely indicative of top speed, it will be fast though." which isn't particularly true because its only beaten in speed by dedicated racers and the stock 300i with no cargo

They said " If you enjoy flying the Gladius the Sabre should behave broadly the same but with a little extra weight to it.", even though right now it flies better than the Gladius.

So essentially no, I think thats total shit. Its not performing AT ALL like they said it would - a ninja that is hard to detect but relatively fragile - its got no stealth, the heaviest shielding systems in any fighter by a literal order of magnitude, and tanks shots like nothing else.

Really makes you think...

>>154641509
Gladius and Sabre's difference is the Gladius is slightly faster, posesses less shields, has more missiles.

That's it. With the superior number of shields and firepower of the Sabre, the Gladius is inferior. Two equal pilots will always result in the Sabre winning and proving it's superior. But by all means, choose a Gladius over the Sabre in the PU and see how well it works for you. Go back to the RSI forum and stop only replying to one point of many each time, it really makes it easy to identify you because you do it everywhere faggot.

You're not realizing the broader implications. This will push back 2.2 by at least a month, and sets a terrible precedent for further implementation delays in the future when dads decide they don't like something and cry about it. There's no telling the cumulative damage this could cause. We may not see season 3 until 2018 at this point. We're already massively behind schedule as is, and this will only further compound that.

Why do I love Braben so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Braben isn't just the best man in the video game industry, he might just be the greatest man of all time.
Just imaging him riding through the swamps of /r/elitedangerous, the wind in his hair, his golden Asp below him.
As he rides through the forums, the dads swoon at his very scent.
They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in the Frontier store under the the name of "Braben Orgasm."
The very nature of Braben is mystery.
Could he be playing a deeper game than even he realizes?
The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit.
However, Braben is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that he does not even use these powers.
Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Braben is not one that is easily penetrated.
Braben is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the earth at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world.
Braben is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and beauty.
Observe his playful smile, his gorgeous and rippling biceps, his gallant nose, and most importantly, his VISION.
His VISION, like pools of modular terminals, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of Braben. Do not stare into it. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt.
Braben is not just a man, a formless collection of bovril and marmite, he is himself is the binding that holds the world together.
Without Braben, the entire world, the universe as we know it crumbles.
The VISION would stop flowing without Braben, /edg/ would become a desolate crater, and FDev would melt without his frosty gaze
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Braben so much.

Why? It's useless. You're better off just jumping with the goddamn ship you want to transfer. The only point in having it now is setting up a new home system, but again, we don't know if you can even transfer multiple ships at once, so that might not even be possible.

It's fucking useless. Fuck Frontier and Fuck the ED community
>>
>>154577749
what's the difference between the current state of the game and ship transfer timers?
now, if you want to transfer a ship you have to do it yourself and it will take x time
with timed transfer, the ship will transfer itself over x+ time. In the meantime you can use your current ship for anything you want.
So what is your complaint exactly
Instant transfer is just bonkers, you can move an explorer a long ly distance away,say, to Jaques and instasummon your vette or whatever for pvp. This devalues exploration and secondary bubbles.
If you don't like or can't tolerate long traveltimes why are you even playing space sims?

I-war and I-war 2 was pretty snappy about space travel.
The X series had jump drive upgrades for ships so you could skip the wormholes.
Privateer/Wing Commander had an autopilot system that just put you at the point you were going at after a short cut scene.
Just about every ship in Freespace had its own FLT drive there were a few missions that had you traveling over distances using SLT.
Getting across a system in EVE is pretty quick, just getting from one side of the galaxy to the other is really slow.
Star Control 2 you spent a good portion of the game in hyperspace but even then there was an item to make that faster.
Freespace you had the acceleration tunnels to get from one POI to the other.

I could go on about how long travel times are not considered fun in the industry. One reason I wont buy EVE is because of the space trucking travel times.

I liked I-War2 system of FLT best. The linear displacement drive had you go like .2c but you had in system jump points where you could use your Capsule drive to jump to other in system POI.

I don't have a cuckspot nor need one, as there is solo mode. I'm just saying that if someone wants to hunt down expeditions I'd rather have him suffer and keep up with the timetable rather than jumping a stripped boosted jumpconda and then summon the killvette instantly when contacts light up.
Granted, I had no idea that the "feature" is for only inside the bubble so yeah, i dun goofed with that argument on its basis. Fair enough.

Not him but they add nothing to the game, they don't maintain balance because FSD travel time never maintained it, they don't maintain lore as the travel times for bulk haulers are unrealistic and they're not even in game nor will it ever be possible to disrupt a transfer when they're added and they don't add any form of gameplay as it'll just be alt-tabbing/exiting to anime/porn/netflix/normiebook

How they will suffer exactly? Timer is laughable and edgy kids can always watch some shit on netflix or some porn while it ticks. It doesn't impede anything.

What this game needs is a working security (crime/punishment) system not some useless timers wich add nothing and delay other content.

>Just for the sake of conversation then, other than what I suspect is personal taste/convenience, why would you be againist timers?
Tbh I won't be using that feature at all since I travel around in my engineered Python which is good for most tasks.

What bothers me is the retartded obsession with adding more pointless tedium into a game already filled with it for no good reason.

I asked Frontier to remove it because people being able to instantly teleport from inside of surface glitches all the way outside of the orbital cruise zone hurt my immersion.

You forgot how those glitches actually balanced surface gameplay, being able to solve them without waiting for a support ticket stopped people from abusing the surface, its not like surface assault missions can be stacked for faction rep without actually landing.

>What bothers me is the retartded obsession with adding more pointless tedium into a game already filled with it for no good reason.
I finally thought Frontier were starting to learn, they announced instant transfers and all of those other small QoL things in the german game conference stream thing and then the playerbase makes sure we end up with pointless tedium and undoes everything they learned.

suffer by jumping behind/ahead of the expedition fleet in a combat fitted ship, rather than using a max ly build to instasummon a killboat. Moot point tho, as anon pointed out that transfers are for stations inside the bubble.

Yeah basically. Immersion. Fidelity. Realism. Simulator.

I absolutly hate trading, but an Annaconda is my dream ship.

To outfit one the way I want, I'll need 600,000,000Cr. I only have a little under 150,000,000Cr.

How fast can I make my goal with a trade conda in a loop route? What about Sothis runs?

Again, how a fucking timer factors into this?

You still have to jump all the way to Jaques cucкshed by yourself. Then you either get your gankship right away and proceed to bully dads or spend 60 minutes beating your dick AND THEN proceed to bully dads.

Even then most of those expeditions are done by pve only groups in private mode and can already be infiltrated and griefed.

The timer itself does nothing.

>>154663628
Same, I was kinda surprised hearing Sandy-dandy talking about how games are supposed to be fun first and foremost during Gamescon. Almost thought there may be a glimmer of hope left for ED and everything may turn around for the better.

It did. You were just to blinded by the vision to see it.

You see, ED uses this new tech called "Vision Upload." It intercepts what you think you see and overwrites it with what the vision wants you to see.

You may be asking "Well, why didn't they pore all of that tech money into making the game look better."

To put it simply: That's not part of the vision.

This vote proves why E:D will never move beyond being a time sink and an utter waste of time.

People voted so that they could spend even more time waiting around and doing piss all, in a game which is already 70% waiting around and doing piss all. E:D isn't underwhelming because of frontier, but because of all the 'muh immersion' dads who don't want this game to be fun at any point. Instead we get to fly around an, albeit pretty, empty galaxy, with little to no contact from players because the same people who want to waste hours waiting, are the same people who are too scared to play in open because of 'griefers', with no player trading because of the same whiners, and gameplay which hinges on spending 70% of your time watching your FSD charge up, and sitting through a loading screen. This was a potential for addition of gameplay, something this game desperately needs, and again it was shot down in favour of more fucking waiting.

I love this game, or at least its potential to be a good game, but the desire from a huge amount of the community to keep this game from being fun, or to keep it from being at all accessible by demanding it wastes even more of your time, rather than actually being challenging in any way, is killing it.

Exactly, if they hosted the same vote asking whether or not players should be able to kill each other or not, we'd be playing a strictly PvE game within a week.

Design by committee is retarded, the only people who would have bothered to vote on this, would be the 'hardcore' ones, which is the unfortunate bunch who never want this game to get any better.

Fuck, if the game had launched with cargo transfer times and the vote was to make it instant they'd vote against it.

I genuinely think that people want this game to seem as difficult and as unaccessable as people who play Eve want you to believe it is, and without the addition of gameplay timegating is the next best thing to make the game appear challenging.
>>
>>154668480
It really fucks me off because you know that someone at Frontier was like, we should make this instant, simply because it was be the most fun, and they actually fucking agreed for once to put it in.

But now they know that time wasting really is what people apparently want.

Worse. Eve is at least trying to be "exciting" with those massive ship battles and assaulting those giant structures. At least that's what I see as someone from the outside looking in.

We have P2P networking issues that makes even playing with a single friend difficult, our capital ships don't do anything. We can't assault stations or outposts. We can assault bases but don't they just fucking respawn immediately? Also I've read that Eve has warp gates so you don't need to spend 10 hours traveling.

Vision memes aside, I highly doubt it. Incorporate station assaults and you'll have 40k dads in uproar over the fact that a station was destroyed. Just look at the goddamn reaction to putting a system in a lock down state.
