Elite: General talk

Back in the 80's I was stationed in Germany and there was a club we used to frequent Called The Green Goose. They sold T Shirts and one of them had that saying printed on it.

But banned for what? I thought it was part of the sandbox gameplay. Bad, yeah, but just like any other "bad behavior" in game.

I can't say I agree with Frontier on their decision here. I understand why they chose to do it, but it really does seem like a missed opportunity. I guess the ruthless cut-throat stuff will stay on EVE, even if Elite Dangerous' different play modes would work well to catering to all kinds. To be honest, I was looking forward to watching the resulting hunts and shenanigans' play out. Ah well. Back to space trucking I guess.

This is a reminder that Frontier is the ultimate enforcer of their opinion for the game. The code of conduct also contains other topics like harassment, witch-hunt/mob mentality and so on which to some extend is related to other popular game play types.

So, yes, people should think about their actions in game as what they think is acceptable in a cutthroat galaxy may not necessarily be acceptable for the owner of that galaxy.

Oh I'm not denying that Episparh. Frontier is the owner and ruler of Elite Dangerous. They can do whatever they wish with their property; something I've seemed to note numerous times as I've learned more about the game. Still, if the statement about them "listening to players" is true, particularly in this instance, we can definitely make sure that there's at least some sort of feedback for them to look at if they deign to choose so. If not, then what I say is as irrelevant as a brown dwarf with a few icy bodies orbiting it, and no harm done

personally I would have like to have seen FDEV not do this ban, but warn the players of the players and there FC's id. I personally would have like to see the players base enact there revenge. I understand why Fdev have done this especially as this game when you are a new player - is like staring at a cliff. It does not take much for a new player to say F**k this an leave. Not good for your business model.

I think that FCs should be attackable, not destructible but lets say 90% of the value destructible. This would then make the whole FC carrier in game a whole different concept. Only damageable when owner is in game. 1 hour Combat log on Carrier.

Then I feel that pirates, slavers, IMP and Fed can all be affected by the action of single players, wings of players or even Factions of players...

This is a universe where the ganking of NOOBs at FF in Deciat - seems as bad as being enslaved. Because when ganked in your unrated, un-engineered ship is allowed by FDev then Slavery should also be allowed, but easy to make the slavers have a much harder time of getting players enslaved. Galnet news feed. SHIP ID's etc...

Anything at least partially related to the Elite:Dangerous, but doesn't exactly fit the Game talk thread. Elite community, astrophysics and so on...
