UmbrellaCorp4 weeks of running cheap goods to build stations no one will hang out at? LOL, I'm heading back to Fortnite to get some fresh content. This game is getting SO stale.
That's ok, we all need a break every once in a while

It's not a break that I need. If I needed a break that would mean that I'm engaged. I have 10B in cash, enough engineering mats to build out at least 3 more fully engineered ships and I already have a FC and all of the meta builds. And a ton of weird ones. What's to do in Elite? Fight to save a lady? Nope. Fight for Salvation? Nope. New content? Hell no. 4 weeks of a beginner community goal to mindlessly transport cheap goods over and over and over again. TO build starports that are way out in nowhereville. I got nothing to grab onto to engage me. That isn't anger, it's honesty because I'm an end game player and it's a boring time to play Elite right now for me.
Let me put it another way. FDev refuses to stream Odyssey. They've been working on Odyssey for 4 years now. And they do not think that it's a good idea to display that work to anyone. They should trashcan the entire mod and go back to building new spaceships and making new aliens. But since they aren't going to do that, all end game players have left is CGs.
No need to apologize on their behalf, we can all see that the content is boring. That isn't a crime. It's just, well, boring.

Well, and the Thargoid incursions still going on since Xmas.

Yes, absolutely no lore but bacteria...it looks like the game would repeat the fate of EVE

So it's more of a simulation than a game for me.
And I love it, I hate it , I quit playing it, I rest from it, and I go back to it, its addiction.

TomciopalecFor me its not just a game, its a place where I can relax and for a moment engage my imagination and immerse myself in the science (not so far away now) fiction.

What he said.
ED is a place where I can go and be someone else, fly a spaceship, and pretend to be Han-Fucking-Solo if I want.
But I can understand how UmbrellaCorp may be done with the game. After all, it is only a game...not a real galaxy...and there is only so much content.
Clearly he has done everything the game has to offer, and has the badges to prove it.
I have done the same thing on other games myself. 4000hours in Xplane sated my appetite. Hardly ever go back there anymore.
Yep, I can identify with his feelings.

EpisparhThis is before the reserves dried out. Anyway, pointless CG with pointless reward: credits + universal cartographic & vista genomics
Agreed. I'm curious to see what else might be rewarded by the end. Fingers crossed that at some point they put in a double engineered size 7 FSD that I could get for my Cutter.
