I'm trying to decide if the game is fun enough for me to plunk down the thirty bucks, or if I should just abandon the mission and do something else, or just walk away from ED entirely.

It seems like there's a relaxing game in there somewhere but I have to fight a horrible UI to find it. And I don't know if it's so chill I'd just get bored.

After spending like an hour on that mission and a half hour trying to figure out what was wrong, yeah, that really sours me on the whole game.

:( :(

Yeah so Elite Dangerous totally just let me accept a mission that in order to complete I need the $30 DLC, with no warning save a coded icon (and maybe not even that, I can;t remember).

That's not cool.

I really really want to be a fan of this game but bullshit like this is just so frustrating.

This game has some serious UX issues, mostly relating to navigation :/

So I got a mission to drop some goods at a surface base and I cannot figure out how to do so, and haven't been able to find a guide.

I can open the planetary map and see the base, and select it, but my HUD only ever shows a target centered on the planet and displays the whole planet as the target.

Also I can't connect to the server even though the launcher says server status is okay :(

I kinda like to imagine that custom exhaust colors are the Elite Dangerous equivalent of truck nutz.

I read this in a novel and it was so immediately and obviously correct.

I just finished sipping a glass of nice scotch and then immediately poured myself a bowl of lucky charms and I feel like this says something about me.
