Are you excited to play LT?

It's been almost a year and a half since I asked this question last, and I'm curious to see how answers have changed now that Josh hasn't posted anything in such a long while about LT's progress. How much have peoples' interest waned? Are people more forgetful of the smaller details and more interested in the larger concepts behind LT? Given the past history of this series of threads I've made, I'm predicting that people will have forgotten some of the smaller details and will be more focused on the larger concepts. I'm also sure we won't have nearly as many votes this time around, but hey - we'll see.

This is the last one I'm going to do until Josh releases beta. I'll probably post a new one after beta is out for a little while, just to see how opinions have changed. It'll be a fun experiment. :)

You get three votes. Just three. Choose wisely. Post about it here! I'm leaving re-voting open so that people can debate and change each others' minds. ...Or this thread will just gather dust instead of interest and replies. Either way. :P We'll see. The last one didn't gain too much attention, relatively, so this one might end up being even quieter. I'm still highly curious to see how opinions have changed though.

The AI, the combat mechanics, and the fact that it's a space game. Oh, and the fact that it won't have constant server errors because it's not an MMO :P (Looking at you, E: D :evil: )

:lol: Yeah, we got a ton of people over here that didn't like Elite Dangerous - especially after they announced no single player.

That announcement is what stopped me from pre-ordering, and in fact I never did get the game till last June or so. I play it whenever it works, for the simple reason of being starved for awesome space games.
I am REALLY looking forward to the LT release. :thumbup: :squirrel:

Some of us were already here. :angel:

Where's the option for "I'm only interested in the physical stuff". :mrgreen:

Well Tal, I think I'm here to play as an information broker in LT. I still love the concept of knowing what's going on in near by systems and being able to act on the information. If it is possible to do, selling this information to NPCs would be a fun business.

I would choose:

- The AI, or the way the universe feels alive
- The beautiful, atmospheric graphics
- The exploration potential
- Fleets
- Building and research
- The UI

Went for AI,modding especially as I 'm as thick as pig shit programming wise so LTSL could very much help the programmer challenged like myself.Also went for factions Elite D is trying this now as it's to me a main game element and can provide some real atmosphere and game play as regarding Elite D's sterile mission system and general lack of human activity in occupied human space pre patch,fingers crossed LT will bring that interaction from day one.

And shit yeah excited as a over excited puppy which has overdosed on over excitement juice to get me mitts on Josh's masterpiece . :D

I'm lumping "exploration" in with "sandbox."

So don't think the low count so far for exploration means people aren't interested in exploring their LTverse. ;)
