My recent complaint is that atmospheric cruise control is gone. I cannot keep the ship at a constant velocity assuming no altitude changes. Hope someone put a mod out to correct this.
True. Granted, Elite doesn't start you out easy, but they do have a number of tutorials you can do before you start the game that gets you familiar with the controls so that you don't go killing yourself just trying to leave the station. Yeah, um, I think I made the right decision for now. If it drops down to, say, $14.99 or something, I may pick it up again. I liked the concept, but the execution left a little much to be desired for me.
One could charitably say the game is made in the hardcore tradition of Roguelikes, where nothing is terribly fair and you really are just supposed to die all the time. But that doesn't seem to be how they promoted it at all!
They promoted it as a space game with landable planets, a rich trading system, and amazing, immersive environments. I started out freezing my ass off, while trying to collect rocks and elements to repair my junked out spaceship sitting on a planet teeming with enforcement drones trying to kill me.
The heading of the patch that mentioned multiplayer got me interested in buying it. Though when I saw the extent of it I lost the bulk of my interest. I really want to be able to start with friends on the same planet and work together towards whatever.
Everyone but me moved on? I found a 44 slot hauler, but a game glitch caused me to loose my ship's items.
Has anybody found a planet, star, etc that another player named? I heard a few people have and were able to rename stuff. I thought once you named something it was permanent.
