Almost sounds like E:D is transforming into "3D Space Invaders 2017: The MMO". Blargh.

Let's all think positive. 2.4 will drop and will keep all of those that want Space Invaders happy, with an evolving story of how to get a bigger gun (I think I got sent an email on that recently, must check my spam folder).
Then - FD can concentrate on the fleshing out of the core game-play as they've said. Let's see some more content for explorers, wierder stuff to find, more challenges based on reputation, proper crime and punishment systems, some reason to align with a Super Power and consequencies if you do etc etc etc.

And don't forget that being caught by Thargoids back in '84 was pretty much an invitation to see the re-load screen. Expect a lot of rebuying so don't fly what you can't afford to lose (a few times). I just hope that for those exploring out in the black that they don't get jumped before they get the chance to hand in data. It might be that max jump ranges are going to come down big-time now as it becomes necessary to go armed (and armoured) into the night........

I wanted to check that Feds capship graveyard yesterday evening but was so drunk that I almost fell asleep on keyboard and crashed into the hot yellow ball. Just manage to land on a small rock and went to bed (is there even one?)in my cobra awaiting hangover in the morning :)

I wonder if the Thargoids are limited to some area, like the bubble. If they will end up killing us 95% of the time anywhere.. Thats it for exploring. Or flying to Colonia. Imagine flying 90% of the way to Colonia, hyperdicted and killed. That would suck really bad.

Yes, the complaints that Elite: Dangerous isn't dangerous would go away for sure.

Yes that's true and a good point, but back then it just meant going back to the last Save Game

I wouldn't mind a save game slot as part of the core game improvements. :lol:
It's time to give this another go.

They weren't defeated though we're they? They just up sticks and left :D

I am really hoping that this will lead to some reason for me to play the game. These days I just play to waste time flying about in VR lol
