Super Foul Egg posted:I'm sure everyone has noticed by now that If this is the first xpac since Horizons, it might actually contain a big content drop. On the other hand, much like Horizons, they'll have to section it off so people without the xpac can still play the game, so it won't be tightly integrated. I feel like good stuff has happened to Elite in the last two years, but the fan base is getting pretty jaded. I personally haven't played much since a bout maybe a half year ago where I did a lot of deep core mining and really enjoyed it. This might be an attempt to breathe some real life into things, or it might be a cash grab based on the last remains of the original plan. Only time will tell, but either way it'll be better than what Star Citizen has managed.

has left Elite on maintenance mode for two years plus. This is not going to be an amazing return to form. The big brains that added the few good ideas that survive in the game to this day did so early, and are long gone.

As long as Braben is in and not senile (and owns major shares), there's no realistic danger of this - Elite is his child and you'd basically have to go over the company's owner and creator to go that way (cash grab and leave it). Also hah @"last remains". Go check Braben's post-Kickstarter video on KS, there's lots more. And unlike Star Citizen, I am every year more and more convinced that they will eventually be able to pull it off (if only because they have very good engine made for rendering procedural planets, flora and fauna), it's just that they don't show off needlessly. The biggest danger I see in it becoming obsolete, though so far they kinda avoid it. On the other hand, if I have to pick between shiny

It's not backwards, if you calculate the numbers. But it conveniently leaves out the white-on-white (2.24M cases) or black-on-black (396k cases) category, so it's basically cherry-picking what it wants to show.

Ah you're right it isn't wrong per say but it's excluding some contextual information and overall proportionality of violent crimes based on population. That's actually an interesting study overall. It of course doesn't dive into why poor black people are overly prosecuted and how our justice system is setup to keep them in a revolving cycle. Buy an idris

Also lol if you think Black people will go to the cops in all instances to report a violent crime. Double lol if you think that because you can splash a graph on your twitter timeline it somehow negates OBVIOUS AND OUTRIGHT POLICE BRUTALITY. Like, nah, George Floyd, lets not cry out his name and demand justice, because some white people somewhere else in the country have also been wronged. OR, we could demand justice for them too!! After we've convicted George Floyd's murderer, of course.

Cherry picking which stats to show is how you lie with statistics and ideological racists love lying with crime stats.

I wasn't going to comment because I got probated last time we swung by racism, but yeah its mega cherry picking and also using raw numbers rather than scaling based on population. Also this is not about "white on black" crime numbers the protests are about when you literally cannot trust the police force that ostensibly is there to protect you to not kill you with little/no provocation because of the colour of your skin.

Also who knows maybe we could defund the police a bit, restructure and re-organize the country and distribute the wealth in a way that positively impacts communities at large or that may be vulnerable to socio-economic issues. Anyways Star Citizen sucks and see you in Elite: Dangerous' Odyssey where we can space hunt space Medusa with space spears.

So its not relevant to the issue that sparked the riots in the first place.

Probably try not to go too far down the rabbit hole owning these dumb racist star citizen dorks imo. It's an incredibly important topic right now but also "dumb racist gamers are dumb and racist" isn't exactly news and I'm not sure its fully worth the derail into FBI statistics or whatever just to disprove some of the dumbest members of an already notably stupid community. Idk just a thought

 Problem is...There is no more "fun" in the game. The grinding, the lack of content, story, and shallow sense of progression is not appealing.I cant get any of my friends to even pick up the game again cause they ask me, "What changed?" And I cant answer them, since nothing really was added that pulls me back to Elite.

The funniest thing about Elite doing space legs is that it's almost definitely going to be dumb and boring (walking around on big empty planets sucks poo poo whether it's in Elite or Star Citizen) but will absolutely be much better in terms of feel and functionality than it has ever been in SC lmao.

The experience of flying the ship and combat is the one thing Frontier did pretty well, even if they actively sabotaged their success later. If they can pull that off with fps combat, it could easily be worth a buy, even if it still suffers from the inch deep problem. Looking forward to spending 50 hours grinding Imperial Guard Reputation to get a Railgun Rifle +2. meanwhile, at CIg: "Let's add crowd control mechanics to our .001ms ttk guns *faaaaaaaaaart* TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Like, putting space legs in a game about flying spaceships already seems kind of pointless, but they could not have made a less interesting trailer if they tried. They couldn't at least have the spacemen running? Maybe a light jog?
