Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review"

No thanks, I don’t have the time for making this a part time job.

Around the time the game first came out you could make all your money just by bounty hunting in a sidewinder. It was great because it was the only actually fun way to progress the game by making money. They quickly nerfed the fuck out of that though.

I went off into the black to discover plants and it makes me more money than exploring ever has before.
My first run I went all the way to the core and then took my time back hitting first disc’ on dozens of neutrons and black holes. Almost a year out, made like 40 mil.
Scanned plants for a few weeks in tenebrae sector, made 1.5 billion.

That void opal exploit was fun while it lasted too. They tried to nerf it by making only some traders buy only 1 void opal at a time and for always less than the galactic market. Fortunately, this attempt was bugged and traders would buy an unlimited number, albeit for a reduce price that was still worth it. It took them at least a month to patch it to the point where traders would actually only buy 1 void opal.
Absolutely fuck frontier for their gameplay balance decisions. I still managed to barely scrape together an Anaconda just because I did a lot of drugs back then but still, fuck Frontier.

I used to crack VO cores in Colonia back then! Fun times, for sure. Especially when the abrasion blasters could spawn more than one if you hit them with perfect timing.
