hello it's Ricardo and Welcome back to Elite dangerous beyond and with the game
evolving as it is what this iterations of updates here and there and quality of
life fixes patches hot fixes on the patches and so forth I thought it'd be a
good idea to explore what people would like to see in the game and also what
they'd like fixed or what they'd like changed now I've been recently having a
look through some of the forums on Facebook and in particular the Xbox one
elite dangerous forum had a really good thread on it recently where people said
hey what would you like fixed what would you like change are things changing for
the better what do you think so let's take a look at that
so let's get stabby when that's quite close to my heart what about the
controversial topic of ship transfers yes folks ship transfers we've got those
for quite a while now where the idea is you get to a station or a pantry base
that has a star port and then you are able to summon your ship to you so you
might have a ship over in lave and you're all the way down in I don't know
rügen AG for example and you think I quite fancy to have my Cobra mark 3 all
the way down there with me and for a fee you can click on a button it calculates
a time of travel that is gonna take you couple of hours a couple of minutes
whatever and then charges you a fee for it to come down and that's all well and
good and I think that's great a lot of people have been thinking well what if
that ship transfer would be instantaneous and I think you've got a
sort of think about whether this game is a simulation or it is just an arcade
game for me it's more of a space simulation it's a space trading fighting
exploration simulation and there has to be some sort of level of authenticity if
that could be a word really applied to this given it science fiction because
there should be the ability to have your ship transferred to you and we've got
that however should it be instantaneous I don't think so
one thing I think would be good is to have the ability to send your ships to a
particular place so say for example again we're at lave good old lave and we
want to send one of our ships say a mining ship to a planet that we know has
got some good mining let's say oh I don't know Lacetti for want of argument
it could be anywhere you should be able to say right within a given range
because you do want people sending ships all the way to Colonia do you right no
matter how much it's gonna cost you I can send my ship within a 300
light-years to whatever planet I and then you can get there in your
quickest ship do a few missions to recoup some of the cost and then you get
your ship back I think that'd be quite a good idea don't you let me know in the
comments let me know what you think about that so we're talking about ship
transfers do you think ship transfers instant or shall I keep them the same
with their time limited and also with cost and also would you like to see a
facility where ship transfers could act as a push so you could send your ship to
a certain distance as well as there being a pull where you can summon a ship
to you this might track really well with the inclusion that we hope this year of
fleet carriers where players can have their ships set up as a fleet carrier as
opposed to any other multi rolls that come up that'll be a good way of
introducing this into the game I think but before I go on to the next
we'll hit that like and subscribe button and also that notification icon or let
you know when I'm putting more videos of gaming only dangerous subnautica
Battlestar Galactica all those games I play on my channel on YouTube and you
can keep abreast of what's going on as well when I do post videos next up
engineer is that controversial topic is it to grindy or is it alright as it is
personally there has to be some sort of time served some sort of a grind to
achieve these fantastic updates that for example let you travel double the like
distance range with your f FS d or incur more damage with the blasters or lasers
or cannons or whatever you've got or even just have lighter weight modules
so again you can travel further I do think there should be some sort of grind
there so level oh I hate it I'm against some people who have mentioned this in
the community and they want engineer's changed one thing I would say however
and that was also mentioned in some of the comments that it would be good to
solve again following on for my previous point have these ships sent to an
engineer once you've already been there like I'm with you know send your ships
to places that you've already been and scanned great brilliant so with an
engineer you rock up to you should be able to say right for a
fee I'm gonna send my cutter all the way over to Felicity Farseer and I can then
pay remotely and you'd be charged more to pay remotely to have that cutter
engineered up to a certain level providing you can send the materials as
well so the whole transfer of items materials even transferring modules and
also you know able to send materials again possibly with these fleet carriers
to the engineers would be good and that would then give an extra level on the
sort of like the pinned blueprints that we've had in game for quite some time
hey let me know what you think so what we're asking is at the engineer's to
grindy do you want to see some changes there and if so what changes would you
like do you like the idea of being able to send your ship to an engineer that
you've previously unlocked and discovered and then do remote
engineering and send additional materials you like to that station
there'd be a time limit and also an additional cost for that that could be a
good way of more integration into the elite dangerous fleet carriers and also
some good changes to what we've seen in elite dangerous as well let me know what
you think - so far some good talking points next up elite dangerous law and
what does they one think about that we've had some good in game set pieces
what with the community initiatives that been out last year in 2019 especially
around the Golconda where we thought that's a really good story there they
found this ship floating around - asked for help then the Empire and the feds
got involved and said hey we'll build you a station aligned to us and now we
get an in-game rare ability and it begs the question what about when elite
dangerous releases a book and the elite dangerous name you know is that Canon
and if so why can't these things be integrated into the game yes we all know
about rock slim will come on to Iraq slur later on in this video no doubt but
what about you know all the all the good novellas that have come out
why can't saw that story be integrated into the games and not just make it a
based on that would be good as well whereas you can say right I'm gonna go
out I'm gonna play a story arc hey fantastic and it triggers once for every
commander or you can then go back and reset it worthwhile so you know hey
elite dangerous in gameplay ability of law is what we're talking about I think
that's a good one especially if the game was gonna go you know to a subscription
service which personally I don't think it should really not this stage of the
game it is gonna go you know to have some sort of like bio pool content
granted okay we know about this they mentioned this but it's it is it gonna
contain some law is it gonna entertain some some advanced gameplay who knows
and let me know in the comments if you're still with me now of course you
may remember that this all was tried in game before but then other payer
factions came in and killed solo me if you remember that back a couple of years
ago and completely wrote off the game with that sort of in-game narrative so
some things have to be tweaked there but you know let's face it it could do a
little bit of extra punch this game couldn't it oh yes good old space legs
that old chestnut a love it or hate it there you go people have always wanted
to go walking around their ship and quite a few fan-made demos have been
made in regards to people walking around planets that we saw a couple of years
ago and then you know in game look around tours around some of the other
model models have also been done these have been great what will it actually do
to the game though which slow things down
will it mean we'll just get another star citizen clone or the one that actually
works and it's been released to production I don't know that could be an
entirely new set of get gameplay in itself or perhaps the next iteration of
it what elite dangerous would be in you know ten years time who knows I mean
what they're trying to do with star citizen I think it's in short of
remarkable if you've got a machine strong enough to play it I think even
mine would probably struggle but in all fairness I think
what we've got to consider as well is that if space legs do come what's it
actually gonna bring to the game so you know what value will it really bring us
will it slow us down in tedium and with that with space legs also we had a good
demo of atmospherics as well recently where you showed someone flowing around
a planet around a space station or a land-based station that we've seen on
all the planets and that was fantastic and had rain and weather effects on that
as well and that was good and I think that that would be a good thing to bring
into the game I think eventually again though it would be a good set piece to
have unless there were missions attached to that would specifically leverage the
atmospherics of a planet like that what would the point be you get a randomly
generated planet bit like no man's sky suppose you know or something a bit more
graphical to fly around claps go and find a research outpost that's been lost
or hidden or covered by undergrowth or a rock slide something like that who knows
here's something I made a view about quite a few years back about Admirals
and Kings and the whole sort of like progression rank system within the
Imperial and Federation factions really so you're an admiral where's your
fleet of ships you're a king where are your loyal subjects and your
bodyguards shouldn't you as an admiral if they're in trouble player V player be
able to call in some of your ships remotely piloted as drones to us to
assist you same with being a king when you rock up to a Playstation
erm Playstation what am I talking about when you rock up to a Space Station
why doesn't it say greetings your exalted rule highness we welcome you and
your bodyguards and your loyal subjects why can't your loyal subjects also act
as a sort of a bot wing as were to make that get into that stage of
being a king or an atom or just that little bit special
as opposed unlocking the Corvette or unlocking there you know the the
Imperial cutter because that's all its really good for as far as I can see all
that additional grind I mean you might get a few bonuses here and there on
trade but I wouldn't say anything drastic really so you're a king so what
and you're an admiral so what exactly so what and I think we need something a
little bit more to embellish that aspect of the game as well okay let's talk
about mining oh my god that's been all over the forum since the last January
update and hotfix where they said it is the supply and demands now for certain
materials like void opals etc and high-tempered low-temperature diamonds
and all these things that people be making at a bank on for quite some time
and you gotta think well okay fair enough so they want to sort of limit the
amount of credits that perhaps in the game and make it a bit more realistic
but there was nothing really wrong with it actually made mining worthwhile
for a period I have to say it because before I never really got into mining
then they brought the whole sort of like in game set pieces with you know yet the
asteroids blew up and it was like great sort of thump when your charges went off
well I was cool that was cool okay make it a little bit less lucrative perhaps
and some of the stupid in-game dynamics that had you so by getting one point six
million for a ton of boyd opals says it's certainly relative like six hundred
thousand and then just keep it as a level state these sort of things I think
are open to exploitation when they have take things the code is inevitably gonna
go wrong and people are going to end up you know having all those credits and
all that those materials taken off them whenever there is an exploit that
happens like that dangerous but you know you can turn
around and say well you should have done that really should you and that big
showy cutter Dholakia we're gonna take off you perhaps an in-game penalty
should be applied to those players that do use exploits and things like that
they may back onto mining do you think the mining aspect of the game has been
made worse as it being made better are you gonna continue mining or what these
are the questions we need to ask so yeah exactly so a few points a few thoughts
there on you know the current state of the game of elite dangerous you know
with the January updates of 2020 coming in and changing a lot of things and some
bug fixes and causing other problems what with screen stutter is elite
dangerous a game you're still playing or are you out there playing other games
and if so what games are you playing let me know I'm looking for a damn good game
to play I am playing subnautica and I enjoy it a lot anyway I've been Ricardo
thanks for watching this rant on what should be fixed in the game see you soon
fly safe
you
