    I need to start taking the low gravity warnings more seriously.

    ED is making it hard for me to have fun - a Charlie Brown sad story

    Posted: 02 May 2020 09:47 AM PDT

    Hey, everyone.

    Returning 2014 CMDR here, really excited for the new ships and options, features, and content.

    As you know, the beauty of ED is setting your own goals. The thing is, I keep feeling that I am Charlie Brown, my "next goal" is the football, and ED is Lucy that, every-single-time, pulls the football away from me and watches me crash and fall.

    Returning after some years, it took me a while to get my bearings again. After some failed goals, I ask around and learn that Engineering is absolutely essential. Looks like a fun system to get acquainted with things, so I start the hunt. After the first engineer though, it becomes clear I need tons of materials. So I traveled to this dropped Conda at Kolii Discii, eager to farm some mats. But the SRV is so cumbersome to me, the controls so clunky and unresponsive, the gravity does not help and I get so frustrated. And I have to individually target each material to scoop it? And I need dozens, even hundreds of those? Even focusing on one single cargo rack and relogging to replenish it, is simply not fun. Why so sad, Charlie Brown?

    Maybe I can get those mats from quest rewards. Go back to my home system, get missions to kill pirates. It's a grind, but it's actual space combat, so I start combining quests and getting squadron quests. 'Kill 30, 40, 50 pirates'. Sure. I am not really an Ace Combat Pilot, so I run a turret conda with a hangar fighter to help me along. It's a bit passive gameplay, but it works for me most of the times (don't judge). Turns out though, some of those quests don't track the kills. I search a bit and find threads, "Whatever you do guys, don't do squadron massacre quests". Hours wasted before I realize it. Haha, you're a clown, Charlie Brown.

    Maybe I need to raise my combat rating, to get better missions. This YouTube guy says, 'grab some AX weapons, find Thargoids and farm scouts to raise your Combat Rating". Sure, that sounds like a plan. I grab AX, find a Thargoid system, enter a zone. This huge anemone thing scares the living daylights out of me and instakills me. This is actually funny now, but let's just say it was a good thing I was wearing brown pants at the time. "Maybe try lower threat to find scouts". So I find a zone with four scouts, manage to kill one, the rest get me. Find an even lower threat, two scouts. Kill them, barely and got +2% rating. Not worth it. Sucks to be you, Charlie Brown.

    Forget the Thargoids then, it's obviously end-game stuff that requires better thermal protection and stuff. This other guy says, 'find an Anarchy system with Civil War, go into a CZ and pick a side". Sounds reasonable. More NPCs on my side, they'll tank some damage. A few minutes later, dead again. Such a loser, Charlie!

    I should start Engineering again, my ship is obviously weak. Found a step-by-step guide, looks legit. I need to travel 7k years away. Let's do that, sure. Build an ASP for jumps, pick a random direction, start jumping. It's boring, but gotta commit and take it like a CMDR. Two hours later, I find it difficult to find stars to jump to. What's happening? The map was swarming with stars when I started my marathon. It turns out, my 'random' direction' was the 'wrong direction', as I ended up in blank space. Now I have to backtrack, adding more wasted time. Boo-hoo, Charlie Brown, don't you know the Galaxy is a spiral?

    I think you get it by now. The result is I feel stupid and (although I really want to) I am not having fun.

    So, what do you guys think? Is this game too hardcore for me? Is this whole thing part of the 'initiation' period? Do I have to really hate the game before I love it truly? Do I have to accept that I need to wade through wikis, guides, and posts before doing literally anything? Or should I just count my losses, admit I'm too old and move on to another game?

    Thanks for reading, appreciate the replies.

    Best,

    CMDR CK
