Changes for/to missions grouped by broad high level concepts (dev updates from January to March):

Personalisation

• persistent mission givers, treatment of player depends on player ranks/reputation/alignment
• Docking greeting messages change depending on alignment/rank
• NPCs remember having had contact with the player before
• NPCs inform player about the status of a faction (civil war etc.)
• NPCs inform player about the effects their actions are having (status changes for minor factions)
• Mission selection improved depending on a factions status

Progression

• One additional positive alignment level will be added to faction alignment (Hated, Disliked, Neutral, Liked, Allied, +?)
• The mission board in station services replaces the old bulletin board
• Expanding the functionality of the inbox so that messages will persist

Variety

• More missions are available at the neutral reputation stage
• Rank requirement for missions are removed - the rank will now be an indication of difficulty + rewards
• Missions will be generated around players's Pilots Federation rank
• Three stage hierarchy governs mission generation:
  • Minor faction state
  • Market type at the port (e.g. mining missions in extraction economies)
  • Government type of minor faction (e.g. dictatorships => overt assassinations)
• Missions will provide description why they have been offered and what effect their completion will have
• "Barrier of inconvenience" for some of the mission elements reviewed e.g. "not having to drop out of supercruise to listen to alternate offers"
• "The time limits for missions as well as which elements make them easier, or more difficult are being reviewed and addressed."
• The cockpits will receive a clock
• USSs for missions will now generally be located at specific bodies within a system, not randomly spawned as time goes by
• Bodies with USS signals can be detected with the discovery scanner, normal range limits apply
• Nav beacons can be scanned (in normal flight) to receive system exploration data and to reveal mission locations
• USS placement depends on specific places like "traffic lanes" and "hubs" in a system
• USS can be scanned from supercruise to reveal more information about them!

Consequences

• Exact indication of influence isn’t (!) part of the mission changes (only indicates positive/negative impact) as of 2.1, unlike reputation and state changes, which are indicated
• "With minor faction states we’re intending making their effects more noticeable on available missions, ship traffic and composition, and markets." (Less subtle changes)
• "authority response if they are attacked will be sharper."

Rewards

• "treasure" locations as new additional mission reward type (missions may lead to cache with vouchers/other items => crafting! )
• Crafting materials as additional mission reward type as well as hard to obtain commodities and "salvage only items". Some commodities possibly only obtainable through missions.
• "varying rewards for effects on minor factions which are getting a balance pass to make changes in state more likely as well as more noticeable"
• "rewards will be balanced to scale better with difficulty and also be more lucrative if you’re well regarded by the minor faction"
• "conducting a pass through the mission templates to make them more reliable and address issues seen in the current build"
• "adding more scenarios for the various mission types and also to better reflect the active states in the system"

Tu i tamo znam okinuti "plusić" za E:D na top listi igara ali u zadnje vrijeme netko ozbiljno druka za E:D. Što reći? 

 Kažeš kao da je to nešto loše 

Što više sati imam , što više para imam to mi je teže naći zabavu u velikim brodovima. Najdraže mi je sjesti u imp. eagla/DBS. 

Ja pauziram s igrom do 6. mjeseca i novog patcha. Uglavnom zbog općenitog manjka vremena, no iskreno očekivane promjene u 2.1 su takve da nemam ni motivacije igrati dok ne budu implementirane...

Toliki patchevi dolaze (svako toliko mi se update-a klijent preko Steam-a) a ja još nisam istražio ni osnovne stvari u igri, a kamoli planetside, ccccc..  

Morat ću uzet neki godišnji samo da malo Elite izguštam čini mi se :) 

Bilo kako bilo, drago mi je da sam uzeo pass za sve buduće ekspanzije još na početku.

 mozes malo elaborirat? dugo nisam igrao, a bas se mislim da opet krenem, jedino me strah pustih apdejta koji me cekaju.

 Neznam kaj da ti kažem. Ja sam došao u igru taman nakon wings updejta (4-5 mjesec 2015). Taj update je donio novi gameplay koji je falio, siguran sam, od početka kad je igra izašla. Letiti u wingu je krucialno za space sim igru. Nakon toga izlazili su powerplay, koji je po meni trošenje vremena i novca od strane frontiera a i oni sami su priznali nedavno da je powerplay totalno podbacio i da će ići na kompletni rework. Nakon toga je izašao još jedan očajni update kojeg nitko od igrača nije tražio a to je CQC. Još jedno trošenje vremena i novca, očajni update koji ništa novo nije donio u igru. Pa je tu negdje bio i 1.5 ships ili tako nešto, nemoj me držati za riječ. Donio je par novih brodova, opširnije i detaljnije misije ali ništa drastično. 

Pa nakon toga dugo očekivani horizons 2.0, slijetanje na bezatmosferske planete. Zabavno u početku ali brzo je dosadilo (barem meni). Planeti su pusti, nenaseljeni, tu i tamo koja baza, nema akcije, nema contenta na planetama vrijednih spomena. Sljedeći update je 2.1 koji donosi hrpu novih stvari (na papiru) i totalni overhaul misija. Iskreno, ako ovaj update ne poboljša i promjeni igru na bolje mislim da odustajem od elite-a i pipremam se za NMS. 

Igrači i fanovi redovito pune forum sa prijedlozima i savjetima ali frontier ne ferma pola posto. Izbacuju se stvari koje nitko ne traži, a bitne stvari se zanemaruju. 

Elite ima toliko potencijala, svijet je zanimljiv, detalji su predivni, simulacija upravljanja letjelicama je na visokom nivou... Uključiš maštu i pustiš da te odvede gdje hoćeš. Sam sebi stvaraš sadržaj. Doslovno ono što na naslovnici kaže: Blaze your own trail. Ali sve to izbljedi nakon nekog vremena. Dosadi ti činjenica da sam u svojoj glavi moraš stvarati content jer ga igra nema. Želiš da malo za promjenu igra bude ta koja stvara neki sadržaj a ne samo ti. 

Osobno sam natukao u Elite nekih 350h; s tog stajališta, to je jedna od najisplatljivijih kupnji igre koju sam napravio... Ali mi je isto igra dosadila... Aktivnije sam prestao igrati kad je izašao/najavljen CQC; baš sam u tom trenutku čekao neki update da me još malo više zantegrira za igru, jer mi je PowerPlay bio totalno nezanimljivo napravljen (a nadao sam se da će biti drugačije). Horizons je bio isto zanimljiv u početku, ali je brzo dosadio... 
Sad, ovaj novi patch mi djeluje zanimljvo s stajališta popravljanja i upgrade-anja postoječih stvari, ali koliko će me uspjeti ponovno vratiti i zadržati u igri, to treba vidit.

A što se tiće No Man's Sky; mislim da će se mnogi razočarati (pogotovo oni koji su za Elite govorili da je "mile wide, inch deep"), tj. ako je suditi prema ovom videu:

 Ironija? 

Što se tiče NMS-a. Spuštam ljestvicu očekivanja na najniže. Nema hypa, nema ludovanja. Svjestan sam da je drugačija od elite-a ali možda u pozitivnom smislu, neznam vidjet ću. Sva sreća pa palicu već imam, tako da je ulaganje svedeno na minimum. 

Izpimpao sam ASP-a i krenuo put centra da vidim supermasivnu crnu rupu. Jednu manju sam već "vidio" kad sam išao u California nebula-u, ali sad idem vidjeti gazdu svih crnih rupa. Možda prođem na drugu stranu galaksije pa onda malo po krakovima. 

Tek sam krenuo, nekih 1500 ly od početne točke.

Hauler ti je odlican za budget explore brod.

Ma hauler bez štitova. Majka .

Ima brutalan skok,ima brutalan zvuk (prizivanje i štovanje sotone u kokpitu),oruzja netrebaš,ima malu masu pa trosi malo goriva...
I najbolje od sveg,investicija je nikakva.

ko što kolega kaže, hauler je najbolji explorer za male pare. ja sam sa svojim proputovao desetke tisuća ly. evo build: http://edshipyard.com/#/L=70V,,2-3m3m3I2C2C2C3c,4zMmpT2UI2jw . ako imaš horizons lupi srv hangar i deri.
