I don't like to say I told ya so, but... I guess X4 becomes the new hope for offline gripers now.

Got my Rift! Playing Elite in VR is a Awesome! Really feels like i'm part of the universe. Very immersive. Will the Thargoids be a PAY update? ? IF it is...this will make Off-line gate seem tame. They've been quiet as to the details of update 2.5, so that might be it. I don't know how well you have...

It is a good thing to have different opinions Thanks for letting me know that. As for "trying to be offensive", come off it. It was just a bit of sarcasm - the preceeding post by Corn ball flake offered nothing of value, so I responded with a post of similar value. This play nice, disagreement = ha...

Cool story bro

In terms of development it is a small 15-person development team, yes. And that is why it has taken them 5 years to finish development. GTA V took 6 years to complete with a crew of hundreds, and a budget of squillions. NMS had 4 people working on it for approximately the first 3 years of it's deve...

Each minor faction will provide you with a personal contact who offers you missions. As your importance to the faction changes, ...

The analogies are getting worse, it seems. Got any more retail-related ones? Perhaps you can branch out and use one about catching a fish or something. I know - how about an analogy whereby I hypothetically back a product on the "Crowdfunder" website? I don't get a product of any description for my ...

And restaurants often run out of ingredients and supply alternatives to customers. They also offer refunds when the customer considers the alternatives unacceptable. I find that if I have already mauled their wares, they usually bill me for whatever I messed with and let me off the rest. If I were ...

I'm going through McDonald's drive-thru. I order a Big Mac meal and ask for a salad instead of fries. ... I drink the shake. So you actually drink the milkshake, which is a part of the meal, i.e. you start consuming their product before delivery was completed, and then ask for a refund when a part ...

We seem to agree he was defrauding his backers, but we disagree on whether that's behaviour that should be rewarded with money. But I don't agree it was fraud. I don't think he intended to go offline from before the start of the KS, but he probably did know it was a possibility that potential backe...
