    A Letter to The Devs

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:39 AM PST

    Dear Frontier,

    I type to you now as I float through space in my Asp Explorer. The speedo reads a lazy 30km/s and YouTube is softly playing oldies to the sound of rain against a window in the background. Life is good, and I figured I'd take a second to write you a letter.

    I don't know that you'll ever see this, but hello. I'm CMDR XxTH3xDOCT0RxX. I need a name change, but for now you can just call me Doc.

    I've played your game since 2015. I'll never forget the first time I booted it up. I had seen a YouTuber play it and could scarcely believe it was a real thing. I had to try it for myself, so I purchased it on Steam.

    At the time I worked at a hotel on graveyard shift. Nobody looked down on me for playing games on my laptop during the dead hours between 12am-4:30am. And so during those darkest hours I would float through space, much as I do now. Exploring. Exploiting. Experiencing.

    See, for me, it's never been about speed of development. I know that might sound odd, with all the new players coming in these days that just can't wait to get their anacondas, grinding away in the mines for hours and hours to make their millions.

    In truth I didn't begin making my millions until quite recently. I was satisfied to have a bank account with 12,000,000cr- it was enough for several rebuys and resupplies/refuels. I've been too busy just being in awe to worry about money until now.

    You have created a masterpiece. I mean that. A true, honest-to-God, legitimate masterpiece. Since I was a young child I've dreamed of going to the stars and exploring. My father and grandfather shared a similar astronomical wanderlust. But we could never truly act upon it. So we'd whet our appetites on long vacation drives, studying Star maps and watching meteor showers.

    This game has allowed me to go and look at so many beautiful celestial bodies and events up close and in person. It has helped me through hard times. Offered me an alternate reality that is both relaxing and spontaneously exciting- a universe, truly, where I can be whatever I want to be. I've loved it so much I've purchased it twice- once on Steam and once on Xbox.

    I haven't seen any footage of Odyssey because I want to experience it 100% for myself when it releases on console. I'm eagerly awaiting that day, but I'm in no hurry. I've waited 6 years to stand up so far, and it's done me no harm.

    I guess my main point, Frontier, is you've done an amazing thing. The mere existence of this game makes my world a better place, and I'm sure hundreds- if not thousands- of people feel the same.

    Don't listen to the haters. They don't know the work you've put into this. They have their own problems that blind them to the unbelievable amount of attention to detail you've put into this. They don't see you like we do, us hundreds, us thousands. We'll go to bat for you. We'll be willing to tell your story, and gently correct the nay-sayers. We see what bright futures lie ahead on this final frontier.

    No other game has held my love and support so steadfastly, and I am confident that that is not for no reason.

    o7 Frontier. o7

    Getting My FSD Cherry Popped: Remember Your First Time?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 02:15 PM PST

    I'll go ahead and share my story-

    I was absolutely FLOORED.

    There I was, sitting at the hotel desk at 3:30am. Pitch black outside and all was silent. Nobody had called all night and I'd spent an hour and a half or so just sort of figuring out how to map controls on my ship, takeoff and landing procedures- this was all back before we had flight assist modules, mind you.

    I found my target, locked in, and pressed the button. The countdown started and I can remember this giddy childlike feeling of glee, like back when I started a countdown with my dad to launch a model rocket.

    The AI stated "engage" and I had an instant rush of dopamine. how can there be a game so perfect? I thought to myself, not knowing even half of half of half of what was in store.

    The jump launched and I looked around, bewildered at hyperspace. My cherry had just been popped, and I was on my way to becoming an honest-to-God CMDR.

    Here's where the story gets interesting.

    So I'm sitting there, right? Completely aghast that such a game had existed for so long without my knowing. I'm planning the camera around the cockpit, taking in the modules and the UI and the canopy and my hands on the controls and... just everything. I was so lost and bewildered that I kind of just forgot I was in the process of going somewhere.

    This is where Elite's gruff 'n tuff school of hard knocks hit me real hard for the first time.

    RRRRRTHWOOOOMPHRrrrrrr

    That sensation. That pinprick of light expanding in a fraction of a second to fill my viewport. I think it literally blew me back against my office chair. I didn't know what was happening. But I knew I loved it.

    I failed to notice the big red letters telling me to SLOW DOWN and I casually drifted into the gravitational pull of a massive orange star.

    Frantically I'm trying to figure what's gone wrong. What's this button do? Why the alarms? Emergency FSD Stop? What? What's that? What is this? Why?

    Smoke began to rise from my control panels and I slumped back on my chair in defeat. I came here unprepared- and Elite was about to teach me why that was a very bad idea.

    The alarms seemed to get louder as I regained a fight to survive and began pressing buttons randomly- but it was too late. I could bought but look on as my canopy began to fracture before my very eyes.

    "No..." I remember whispering under my breath.

    Oh yes. said Elite as my entire starship exploded, leaving my camera stationary in space to watch the wreckage of my beloved Sidewinder go floating into the hellish inferno below.

    Now, I've played Dark Souls. I know what brutal is. But this was so far beyond the brutality I've witnessed in other games. And what's better? I frackin' loved it.

    I jumped up out of my chair, grasping my head and mouthing a crazed happy "OOOOOOHHHH" like a kid that just witnessed the school bully get punched out at recess. This was a turning point for me. This was the moment I knew I'd always love Elite: Dangerous.

    So now we know my story. How was it for you?

    Been staying in the Maia sector for about a week now to practice thargoid hunting, and this lead me to the realization that i lowkey want thragoids to invade (at least the outer rim) the bubble so that it's more convenient. The Diaguandri region perhaps? Or a system with amonia worlds.
