Elite: General talk

I don't recall saying anything about consent.

It is just an example of how people read small advices burried inside wall of texts. People do not read their contracts for services such as mobile phone subscription, etc.

This is definitely not a good way to present information about complex game mechanics.

RenraikuDoes that sound like a walk in the park to you. It certainly doesn't to me.




Why would anyone even want it to be a walk in the park? It’s called Elite ‘Dangerous’ for reason!


Exactly my thoughts.


“Darling, as you’re busy, I’m just going to have an hour at my PC”
“Sure honey, what ya playing?”
“Elite Dangero... I mean Elite: DON’T TOUCH ME! Leave me alone!”
“Never heard of it babe! Sounds naff!”

So, I have moved the recent discussion about ganking to this thread to de-clutter the discussion about the game itself. A few posts that were direct or indirect insults were simply removed as such posts have no place here. But I think the whole discussions about the ganking seems to go to its end, anyway. Let's just not please discuss the game should be dangerous, because it's named Elite:Dangerous, it always ends in a pointless discussion. Rainbow Six also doesn't need to have six rainbows in there and so on...

I expect any future discussions related to Elite:Dangerous but not exactly to the game itself will go here. If you are not sure where to place it, use your best judgment and I will move it to the proper thread or add further clarification when needed.

RenraikuNo commander requires consent to attack another commander in Elite: Dangerous.


True, but some people claim that open implies consent. It doesn't.


But you do click on open with the knowledge that people will attack you. That's what I'm saying. You accept those consequences by choosing to play in open. You thinking it's "unfair" or "pointless" doesn't especially matter. The onus is on you to figure out how to deal with unfriendly commanders.

Much appreciated, Artie. Thanks.

Also, why don't you hire some cronies to do the hard site lifting for you?

Great idea Artie! I was conserved that some game related questions might went unnoticed.

I just hope I don't miss out on talks, things, etc from the regulars here that have become my favorite people to converse with, with the new sub-boards. I guess that means you too, Epi.

Honesty, I am not interested in general discussions about good and bad or players psychology. As far as I am concerned I've said most of the things I had. Ultimately, I saw two persons fron the different side of the fences saying one thing - Play the game as you wish.

I hear ya. I just want to get back to randomly photoshopping people's characters into real people. I enjoy game talk, but I like just shooting the shit and having a good talk time as well.

The discussion usually doesn't need any serious maintenance and I am reading it anyway, so a few clicks here and there doesn't add any burden.

Discussions on such topics are necessary from time to time to bring balance to the occasional skewed views of some.

Getting there, madam. Slowly but surely.

...or to just vent some steam which can be very therapeutic
