HARD POINTS
let us not forget the fighters that have room, that would be symetrically and geometricly sound, for 2 or 4 more hard points. Just because you only have so much energy potential doesnt mean you couldnt use the extra spot for some missle launchers... Ever had 2 missle launchers (at max class for your ship)? widdle the shields off your oppenet and as your about to overshot him, fire those missles and then it's all but over.
THE SUN(s)
DId you know that the amount of light and heat a sun gives off is enough to basically deep fry the human flesh without protective barriars such as mirrored visors like our current astronaughts have on their helmets, or an ozone layer? Ok so why is it our fancy ships dont? ok just a graphical thing -
ASTEROIDS (and other large floating objects)
The fact I used the word floating is the whole problem. Asteroids DONT just sit there. In fact just like a planet, they move, and they move realy realy fast. why is it only the ones I can shoot move?
MINING
If my lasers blast a little rock to dust, why cant I pound on a larger one expecting some kind of fruit for my efforts? At least chip off the smaller 'mineable' class of rock. Or hell give us mining ship attachments, maybe that hammerhead trades in its front 2 hardmounts to support that asteroid cruncher
JUMP HOLES
No not jump gates, the random holes you find. Why do you have to 'dock' with them, and how the hell can they 'be in use'! Where did nature put the que for natural anomolies like that?
TORPEDOS
Why even bother with these useless things. They are more for cinimatic purposes in the SP cut sceenes. They (yes both) do far less damage then the comperable weapon configurations you will have by the time you would normally look into spending on an ammo driven weapon. period
FREIGHTERS
Why is it I can scan the freighters, or accroding to my kill statistic sheet, transports (you know the ones that need to moore, not dock). Yes those. When you scan them they have ungodly amounts of cargo. Blow them up and you get a nickel. Blow up a 'pilotable' cargo ship and get the lost treasure of captain Morgan.
More on FREIGHTERS
Why can't I fly ships I can see taxing around? If this really is an open eded universe, and I am supposed to be able to be a merchant, why cant I use the ships the REAL men use?
STUPID ASS MINES
Ok so you invest millions of credits to develop a new weapon, the *smart* mine. You would think, that since your magic reputation card that every bounty hunter and his sister needs to see to get a job, can correctly identify friend or foe in your ships HUD, that mine makers might stop and think - hmm, maybe we could make the seeking mines chase ENIMIES! Or no wait, if we kill the people buying our mines we'll make less money... lets do that
(as just mentioned)
MAGIC REPUTATION CARD
If I kill jo mamma in BFE-21 and no one is around, and of course my scanner range is what 5k? whatever it is, why does my Magic Rep Card adjust my faction with them? If a toilot flushes on Jupiter now, would you know if it was a stinker?
IM SCANNING YOUR CARGO
Ok and you can eat laser if you have an issue with it. Oh wait only illigal goods are going to get me in trouble right? Well lets not forget that if jiminey police officer is scanning me for illigal goods, he can presumably see everything in my ship - why is then, that a human being that would naturally respond to an overwhelming situation by calling for help, attacks? If he sees my uber Class 10 ship, and he is in a starcracker more aptly named a wheat cracker, why oh why does he fire? Call the battleship that won't move at least!
BATTLESHIPS
More like docking bay with less firepower if you ask me. I started with a ship that has almost as many hard mounts as a battleship does. Granted the battleships guns are bigger, make a cooler noise, and do more damage, but I would rather be flying a Titan, then one of the immobile battleships anyday.
MAGIC REPUTATION CARD meets Mr. Battleship
OK so Battleships are invunerable in multiplayer, why then do I have a stat on my magic card that says I have killed none of the invunerable ships? Why not put planet kills on there, and stars to boot, since of course I have a torpedo that has a name that hints to it's ability to kill suns.
Ok as much as I attacked the game just now. I love this game. It is absolutely solid. It met all expectations and more. The storyline was planned well, and overall the game deserves all its praise.
But you started it!
Stop.
Before you reply just remember, the truth hurts.
Now chances are if you hated what I said I was right
