It's like the immersion animations. Sure it's cool two or three times, but after that if it takes longer than 1 second you're mashing the button to skip them.

I've been replaying Far Cry 4 and am so loving bored of seeing the animations for skinning an animal and looting bodies. They only last a second but if there was a dlc that removed them I'd be all over it.

Actually...I've got an idea for star citizen to generate revenue after release*

I think you can turn off loot anims in FC4. There is an option for it somewhere.

Lol, just lol at the idea of the amount of unfinished work at CIG and someone thinks a better use of their time is to argue on an internet forum since they can't play it and there's no work actually being done on it. Employee or backer, these are always too funny, and very telling about the psychological state of the true believers.

That's really bizarre. What's the penalty for death in that game?

You loose the ship, all cargo on board all installed modules and sensor data discovered with it. You then have to choose to either pay (with in game credits) a % premium based on the value of the ship to get it back "as is" minus some exclusive modules or dont pay and get back a starter ship if this was your last ship. Cargo and sensor data are always lost and never insured. The insurance premium is all or nothing, you cant negotiate for just the hull or just the modules.

Its a slap on the wrist when your begining and dont have a big ship (your premium will cost you less than one mission (about 5-10 minutes of gameplay) payoff) but can cost you a fortune (think 10 hours of constant cargo hauling on the best traderoutes) when you lose an end game, fully pimped out autism chariot. The game never leave you without a mean to make money, even if its slow, low paying courrier jobs.

As for the "Elite players are Carebear and had to have a solo mode". This was what was pitched back in the original funding rounds. The concept for E:D was just that:An up to date version of Elite, a solo game. It grew into a Hybrid MMO but Frontier got a lot of flack for it from some backers, thus the compromise of "solo play" was born.

Are you sure about this part? I'm almost positive I remember having sliders when determining my replacement ship after a death where I could forego replacing certain modules to get the replacement cost down.

Everything new I find out about this game's piece's of crap design and dreams makes me even happier I got out.

If you have put money in this scam, I suggest you start the process for a refund ASAP.

"I am no longer supporting this retarded project, which chases dreams, while still being in unimpressive pre-alpha and can't possibly ever be released " and it is so much better than "well, it's not there yet, but they are trying and I hope in the end it won't suck like it currently does".

No one has mentioned yet that Croberts wanted that an NPC will treat your character like a hobo if you character did not take a bath because he wants to justify the showers in the ship. And you should have manners when talking to an NPC by that you should not look away if the npc is talking because they have feelings.

Its absolutely possible i'm wrong. Its been a long time since i lost a ship in E:D (i mostly do trucking or run the void in E:D and go in Arena when i feel the mood for PvP) so the death mechanism might have been modified in a later patch. If thats the case then its just better.

The important idea is that the death penality in Elite is proportional to the wealth you choose to put in risk on the mission, allowing player agenda on the risk vs reward mechanics.

This will convince people and is totally not just a snide desperate attempt at validation of your refund.
