No, its just your opinion, doesn't matter how often you repeat that opinion, it will remain, just that, an opinion.
You're playing wrong then. Because the longest periods I have is hanging out at the Sun's shooting people. Once I'm out of ammo (and my cargo bays are full of trader tears), I head back to a station.
If you're dumb... you pick a system to hang out in where your station is MINUTES away (gasp). If you're smart, you'll scout a system where the station is only a minute or two away. And then.... (gasp again) you have to dock. Oh woe-is me. I have to dock.
Hahahahah
And here I am full thrusters adjusting my ship to match station rotation and flying in like a bat outta heck so I can get in there before I get scanned.
But yea... game totally sucks... and thanks for making a second post for the mods to hopefully lock once they have their breakfast.
Kudos to the people who complained and still complain incessantly in these forums about mind-numbing space travel (watching a glorified supercruise loading screen as I call it) being 95% of this game. Maybe that will put a few more nails in the coffin that this game is already in. A long journey somewhere? Decisions? I'm not sure you're actually reading what I'm posting or just haven't played the game. What planning and preparing is there in this game? There isn't much. Just make sure you have enough fuel. That's about it. Perhaps if you actually read and understand what I'm saying, then you might post differently. I suggest you reread and plan your posts/replies accordingly. It's really that simple.Dude, I really have to wonder what game you're playing. Supercruise isn't loading. In fact, have you tried interdiction yet? That's one of the most fun things I remember doing.
What about traders, explorers and people looking for parts in high-tech systems with space stations? Are they playing it wrong?
Actually, I've done the same things you did. You know, shooting down bounties at the NAV beacon, flying into a station like a bat out of hell to avoid being scanned. That was fun.
So, you're looking forward to the mods locking this post too? I already replied to them regarding their decision and asked them where I baited anyone, or trolled. They could have made a mistake, you know.
You seem to have anger issues. You should look into that.
And I would say, why do you wish a game to fail and actively spend your time to achieve this, when the game just obviously was not meant for you?
I played EvE online and didn't like it, and I don't like PvP, but I don't go out making posts that it deserves to die.
We get that you don't like space travel. But nobody twisted your arm and forced you to buy the game. And other people are probably more than capable of making up their minds about the game without your help.
After all you, you just proved that you really are not very good when it comes to deciding on which games are right for you.
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!
You have some weird ideas about the game, but, regardless, the game is a success, and its a game for Elite Fans, if you never played the original, which sounds like you didn't then you probably will never get it. And, for the record, supercruise isn't a loading screen, its a travel method where you can, and if you are carrying something valuable, or perhaps illegal and valuable,be interdicted, probably a few times if your journey in supercruise is long enough, and more fool you if you chose a really distant station to trade with if you had contraband, in the first place. But its okay that you don't get it, this is obviously not a game you really understand all that well, that its not your type of game is coming through loud and clear.
Pardon, but since you insist on being rude I'm going to block you.
Have fun with that
I will take that as validation however.
Insulting people is pathetic. You've been blocked.
You know, you could make life far more easier on yourself by blocking everyone on the site, that way, there would be absolutely no risk whatsoever of people disagreeing with you
That's perfectly fine by me. The only thing worse than a wrong opinion is an uninformed opinion and you are clearly uninformed yet persist in posting your opinions as facts.
He/she is not wrong tho. While i can agree to that it is a fact that it takes X minutes to reach place Z... The question of that length of time being too long or not is purely subjective and in that way just a opinion.
So your statement is a opinion since the main part of it is that you feel it takes too long/too much time.
Nobody say that you can not feel this way or have that opinion, but you can not put it forward as a fact since it is very easy to prove the opposite going by the same criteria.
This have been a good conversation
You should add "Warning: This is a game where you are supposed to do things!"
Much better this:

They should learn how make good and fun games...
...and now that you have started post another one on every game where you are suppossed to do things, not autobattle of course...
I haven't played E:D, it seemed over priced and under featured at launch, but I loved the original one.
I seem to remember hyperspace in that game being instant... What was the rationalisation in E:D for the extended 'load screens'? Was it for immersion (because I don't remember the original having issues with immersion), or was it a purely technical need?
I'm saying that supercruise is just a glorified loading screen. I'm not saying that supercruise IS a loading screen. Yes, I've tried interdictions. They are indeed fun. The game has it's moments if you play it in just the right way.
The problem is that after I got my Vulture I started looking for two A5 parts for it. I looked for days in high tech systems, I tried industrial systems, extraction systems, made sure they were wealthy and high population systems, made sure I went far out. Nope, couldn't find the parts.
Now, I already knew the inter-system travel was awful so I tried to avoid that as much as possible. But then again, I did want those two parts. Hyperdrive was great, but the mind-numbing supercruise travel was just too much. I mean, all I did was supercruise, and that's a royal pain. That's when I realized that this game is pretty much a big loading screen (as "I" call it—I realize supercruise is not a loading screen, but it sure feels like it). I also realized the enormous lack of content. Sure, I mean, you can have fun playing tic-tac-toe, but only for so long. I then realized the game was pretty much an Alpha Early Access game although it was touted as a finished product. And that's what got to me. I don't like it when gaming companies lie to me about the readiness of their games.
So you sound like you played but stopped. You still playing? Anyway, have a good one!
I understand the philosophical and logical ramifications of your statement and I agree with that, but when people say they read books when they do trading runs, you can be pretty sure that's proof that the game takes way too long to get somewhere. A game is supposed to be immersive, not an opportunity to read books.
True true, but some people like that. In fact i used to haul cargo in EvE and found it weirdly relaxing to sit there and watch my autopilot navigate my route while talking to the people in my corp and planning the next goods run.
Now in the long run it got boring but when i was the most invested it was nice. So far from the hectic macro-fest that was large scale combat. It was me and my Itty tugging along (i actually never got around to bigger game then my itty.. *blush* ) praying to what ever deity that was listening that nobody was bored enough to take potshots at me.
But with time the glow faded and that is why i have not invested in Elite. It simply is not my kind of game.
This have been a good conversation
You're right, lol. I can't argue with that. If that floats people's boats, then it's okay. I stand corrected.
Yeah, I wish I could recommend ED to you now. It might be better later. You never know.
This is what this site is turning into....
People creating accounts, going on rants, being told their opinions are their opinions and they are offended.
You tell them a way to play that's more interactive, they admit they had fun doing it, but then say that this other way to play isn't fun. Well yea... I can imagine doing hauls IRL is pretty boring. I couldn't be a truck driver because the long hauls seem incredibly boring. Just driving for hours and hours and hours. But yet, there are truckers around the world because they like the jobs (or perhaps it pays well enough).
Either way... you're complaining about a subset of the game that's purposely designed that way. If you could instantly trade between systems, there'd be no point.
Also, I have anger issues according to the OP. Which is funny... because I'm in no way writing angry today. Just pointing out the silliness of the OP.
P.S. I play on an off. I have other things grabbing my attention (job, life, etc) but it's still loaded and played for some relaxation. Also, I started playing a while back.. so they've added quite a few nice features since then. And it's far better than the other game that's released only modules. Honestly, No Man's Sky looks like my kind of game as well.
You actually can travel from one system to another without super-cruise, it will take you days, weeks, years, even your whole life since ED have a 1:1 Milky way.
