Im quite new in ED but at the moment my endgame could be freighter full of diamonds, or getting federation rank high enough to buy a dropship and call it rocinante, or to find a nice system i coukd call home, or explore a system nobody has been before in..etc etc...
Imho, you choose your own endgame, no matter how riddiculous sounds to other people.
But...i have noticed that you basically dont have that much to buy when you have more cash, i mean new ships but im not interested in anaconda or something like that and i like my cobra very much XD
What do people with anacondas and cash for insurance thrice times over buy ? Maybe would be nice if they introduce some large cash sink for experienced players ( player owned stations would be nice..), but when i reach that point maybe they will...XD
Games like this one, eve online, starpoint gemini and such...require player imagination and involvment... people not willing to do that and only waiting to be spoon feed content will burn out quickly...in any game of that type.
I mean, i tried gta for example (either is vice city orsome like that ) but i am not interested in thematic and i couldnt make myself goals or story or something i want to do so i stopped playing it rather quickly.
People who are not sattisfied with thefabled "endgame" in open world sandbox games should think do they really like the aestetics, thematic and everything else...someone could enjoy elite or eve or whatnot and fly through space making their own story, some dont but play from passing interest into theme...someone maybe just does not like space themes enough so he/she canreally involve imagination and passion into that. Maybe that person would enjoy minecraft forexample, formeminecraft is something appaling...

And to comment on griefing, since there were online games there were griefing, and there were people calling out somebodys play style griefing because they dont agree with that style.
Imho, if anybody does something where other players are involved or their play interupted without clear ingame, or roleplay personal, advantage but only "for the lolz" ...itcould be called griefing, but than again that person could rp lunatic or something...

Arguably pvp bashers and naysayers could be considered griefers if they play an online game with pvp and verbally fight agains that on community boards and game forums and bashing pvp players ingame, if you look at it objectively they are interupting playstyle, or trying to, of other players by "bashing" them just because of their playstyle that is in line with game mechanics.
I am not thinking about any comment here with this, because frankly i havent read here a lot of pvp bashing as in some other games, im just pointing outthat everything is in the eye of the observer and wishes and focus and playstyle of him/her.

Anyway how i saw itplayers are quite rare in ED space, if i meet one in battle, or trying to rob one, ill treat other players as highly developed ai npc-s... more carefull because they have more intelligence and are probably more apt at flying, but i would not attack player type 6 full of cargo any less or more than npc one.

Even that I wouldn't classify as End Game, but rather just your current goals.

Yup, that is my point. Endgame is your current goal and direction. In games like these there should not be an end game per se...but what you set up for yourself as a goal, your current endgame.

son of kHzvoltzwelp, my E:D game is part of the ones hit with the "main menu bug" no game for me

Do you not know how to fix it?

I'm presuming you're on Xbox, if not, disregard the following instructions:
Go to your Dashboard
Go to "My Games and Apps" and find "Elite: Dangerous"
Press the 'Start' button (With the three lines on it, just to the right of the guide button)
Select "Manage Game"
Scroll down to "Saved Games" and select your one.
Press the 'Start' button again and press delete
A menu will pop up, select "Delete Everywhere"
You may have to wait a few seconds for it to vanish.
Now reload Elite: Dangerous and enjoy

Note: I appreciate this sounds like I'm trolling. I won't blame you for awaiting verification. You will not lose your save. It is stored on Fdevs servers, not your console or the cloud. I promise. View this page on the Frontier Forums for more information.

I wasn't aware of that, and I am also aware that the games where online, I might try it or jkust wait til the update rolls out

unfortunatly, no. idea was scrapped when Sony dissagreed with a Xbox/PC/PS cross-plat, though, it should be at least Xbox/PC cross=-plat

i wish it was, but it isnt

Same Background SIM + Powerplay stuff though. You just can't fly with each other.

Having XBox and PC interacting with the same database is a lot easier than implementing cross play I imagine.

Probably, although, would be intresting to see the PC master race fly with console plebs

I'd consider myself a transplatform person because I have a ps4, had Xbox 360 and also play on PC.

I got elite for the PC back before the Xbox ver. Launched. I went on hiatus bc of IRL stuff and came back having missed like a year of elite related news. By that time I was used to the PC ver. And my first thought about playing on console was 'Ew' becuase of the extreme lack of buttons that a keyboard has. The concept was so odd because keyboard and mouse controls were already ingrained in my mind. 

So I don't think I could switch to console. Even though my PS could probably handle it better than my little old laptop and probably be more a relaxed playstyle using console controller but I just think I'd feel disadvantaged with the lack of hotkeys for different things and wouldn't be able to pilot as effectivly as a result.

dont worry, as a console user, you can set your bindings in the menu, and with each section, the key binds reset.

Have Hyperspace on Y+ dpad up, and flying in cam mode? Dont worry, you can still use it

also, thats the first time i've seen some one use the phrase "transplatform"

While this might be a wild guess, it might not surprise me that a number of PvP groups have been directly contacted by Drew / FDev to protect Salome during the event by being a part of her wing.

Lore wise, it might make a bit of sense that lawless groups want to give the Governments their comeuppance. But, I've been very wrong before.

I believe, they are not. But they share the same data for BGS.
