Are you asking FDev to draw a new Powerplay portrait? I guess that's too much of an effort.


They’re just going to keep the existing figures and come up with some silly excuse why Rackham isn’t a Powerplay figure.

The fact some peoples still thinking this ever going end up as they want no matter how long they play their silly little games
deeply humors me, but until they wake up from my part the only answer they ever going to hear is deafening silence.

The king is naked... And no matter how hard some try this cannot be undone or hidden aside the fact it's never was a king for the first time. So much about this!

To cut the long story short, and get straight to the point without dancing around the issue, & speaking in riddles which is just over some peoples head?

What's the real problem with ED is simple. They are good at story telling and technicalities, but where the game falls short the lack of fun content,
Which makes the game dull. And this also a partial answer to the G problem. Some peoples are just it, but in overall? Peoples tend to do stupid things,
just to get the blood rush when they get too bored. Or they simply just leave.

For example? Later i mentioned space critters introduction of em can make things lot more interesting especially if they can help maintain tension such as they can stalk or attack you when you are exploring outside of the bubble. all the sudden the game gets less boring and keep you in your toes.

Someone's been watching D2EA?

I think you have a point here. While narrative is good and has some replay value, the staggered addition of a new thargoid variant or new weapon is not what make people play. The lack of content - ships, suits, weapons or anything tying Odyssey into the larger game - is what is missing.

Minonian ... [the introduction of] space critters can make things [a] lot more interesting.

Yeah, a bit of fauna to go with the flora is not bad. Some small and nocturnal, some large and predatory, gotta catch them all.
I'd also imagine for real playability, a huge overhaul of the BGS will be needed, make it more accessible, transparent and allow player built / owned settlements as the next credit drain after FCs.
We're not going to see it in a numbered update tho. It'll have its own named DLC a la Beyond etc.
Possibly in time for the 10th anniversary?

Or have possibility to build operation base cooperating with carrirers on orbit around the specific planet. Then you could do mining posts there, survey labs, or agriculture factories. Maybe some teraforming stuff.

My bet is that Felicia Winters will be elected President, and Hudson will take a job on the board of a weapons manufacturer (Core Dynamics?), where he can continue hawking Pacifier Frag-Cannons.

FDev-style Real Change™ without having to alter the PowerPlay portraits even a tiny bit.

Agreed... More variety, & more fun content and more variety of community event is the key. and no, to simply take a different sort of thing from point A to point B is not variety... I don't think ED ever becomes an amusement park or a crackpot of jokes, simply because nothing gets farther from the Hardcore sci - fi genre, but as far the game remains dull something has to be done with it. what im thinking at it? More tension / suspension / action centered approach with the addition of some elements of cosmic horror genre. yeah, yeah, yet again? this is HC sci fi. i know! But up to a point is fitting to the vast unknown of an entire galaxy. It's don't has to be magic but more shrouded mysteries and the atmosphere with it?

Catching hunting scanning animals clearing em out from an abandoned settlement, scanning them or just always in your toes because of em is a good way to make the game more lively.

About community events? yet again... G problem. My approach? make PVE and PVP PVP/PVE events separate with no chance with overlap at certain cases. that's yet another good way to contain it. power play for example your typical PVP frag fest and rightfully so Goid events? No! They want player clash? resolve out of the goid combat zones. this yet again FDEV's job to make the appropriate story and events. Nuff said.

I’d start there. Set the search to bodies with an icy ring and pristine reserves. Just put in whichever system you’re near and see what results you get.


Or Try EDSM But yeah... EDDB will be missed.
