Actually no the T&Cs pre 2014 were; "Kickstarter does not offer refunds. A Project Creator is not required to grant a Backer’s request for a refund unless the Project Creator is unable or unwilling to fulfill the reward. Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundr...

Since there's still nothing concrete on the LT front (it looks like) I've spend about 6 months solid playing E: D, after all that I slated it in the past. Playing in Mobius or solo. I've unlocked some engineers. I've been to the galactic core and back. I have a character out at Colonia (the new bubb...

I'm rarely here, but that doesn't mean I've lost interest in the project. I'm just keen to see what Josh eventually comes up with. But I'm in no rush. When it's ready. At the time of the Kickstarter, my main focus was on Elite. Star Citizen was 'meh' (and still is), and LT was the exciting wildcard ...

There are oodles more now, because there's oodles more ships. Next update (1.5) is all about ships, apparently.

I have the wireframe Cobra limited edition one. That's pretty much it.

I agree with your conclusions, Juniper, but it's the sad personal story that touched me deeply again. Your hopes bound up in your actions deserved a much better outcome. :cry: I can imagine myself being just as disappointed and angry as you were initially if I'd had such an idea for thanking and le...

why should they? if you want the fancy shinies, use their services and pay for them But if you've paid for them online, should you not be entitled to use them offline as well? That's really the issue there. in a camera mode that was made limited that nobody could actually play in a way where he can...

anything that forces you to use some external service to be able to play at all is some form of DRM. I suppose you can look it that way. I won't argue. ;) except that they wouldnt have to allow you using skins at all in singleplayer. especially as you cant see them anyways. Why not? Oh, and you can...

Supposedly it isn't using DRM. The "always on" thing is DRM in the same way that Steam is DRM... i.e. not really at all. From what I know of how the system works, it sends an encrypted packet to Frontier's servers to activate the skin, which then gives a response back. By having knowledge of both en...

Actually, they made it very clear during the Kickstarter campaign and afterwards on the forums that the offline version would be static. It wouldn't have all the "dynamic universe" stuff, but it would have the background simulation... which we all assumed meant the supply/demand economy, and politic...

To think that Ian Bell warned us all, back in 2013 when he gave this interview. He was asked the question: Q: With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, would you have done anything differently? If you had a time machine, what advice would you whisper in the ear of your twenty year-old self? Ian Bell: Don...

Yes, it's taken me quite a long time to be honest... but I think after a year I'm almost at peace with it. Uninstalling the game helped, believe it or not. ;) I uninstalled the game very early on and I don't visit the Frontier forums anymore. It's just the newsletter and this thread that are proble...

We always were on the same page, Juniper. ;) Although I believe I'm much less forgiving on this subject than you are. It's a fault I've been working on for a while now. :angel: Yes, it's taken me quite a long time to be honest... but I think after a year I'm almost at peace with it. Uninstalling th...

It's rare for me to comment in the manner I did nowadays and I can assure you there was no personal animosity in my words as far as you are concerned. My problem was with your words. I don't write bad things about Elite Dangerous because I have no quarrels about the game itself. I ceased playing it...

No it isn't (not even close), but it's an old argument.

I didn't see it as arguing, Juniper. Any of it.

My mistake.

Edit: Oh, now I see. You believe that online singleplayer is a suitable replacement for a true offline game. No it is not! No it isn't (not even close), but it's an old argument. :think: LT will now be my hope for that kind of space game. As long as what Josh is hiding up his sleeve isn't a metric ...
