![]() ![]() ![]() its sitting there waiting for me to load it up and start exploring again, i'm probably 1000ly away from habited space atm so i know its going to take me hours of jumping just to get back. i was playing a few days ago but i decided again to give it a break and i've mostly been playing a freshly modded skyrim so. (mining is basically a subgroup of trading) but perhaps earning one of each ship or getting to the other side of the galaxy and back, there are tons of self realized goals you can set your self its just whether or not the game itself will keep you interested long enough to see them through. although that isn't the only goal you kinda have to set your own goals like you do in X3 because its open ended, getting to elite isn't mandatory you'll just slowly get there making money in any of the 3 ways. getting triple elite would basically be the games end game. The main goal is to reach elite rank in either combat/trading or exploration, although these goals are entirely based around the money farming, it basically tallies your income from those professions and you rank up. i can build my own meta around exploration beyond the first discoveries. how many/what types/how far from the parent star. there is quite a bit of diversity in the system layouts you never really know what combination of planets you'll find. you can get quite a bit of a kick out of exploration i've done more exploration than anything else so far, i actually enjoy setting goals of trying to reach certain stars far out, mouse around the map a bit find a neutron or black hole to aim for and just try get there, tag as many planets as you can on the way. There is plenty to do in elite its just hard to not see it as a grind, i still hate using that word grind its a really crappy word for repetitiveness. around that time i took a break for about a month and came back for the last patch. Well i got to the cobra did a bit of combat for a while bought a type 6 and tried a bit of trading, this was all around early january. ![]() How much did you invest in Elite to a point it becomes redundant and boring? In X3, your goal is kinda creating your own empire, if you will. I got bored of x3 about 150 hours, so I follow what you are saying. Yeah I wanted some down to earth response like this. No station building by player in elite, the major and minor factions do expand but it will be at the whim of 1000's doing community events and if the stars align a new station will pop up in a new system. Originally posted by Heathy:this one has been done a bunch of times but elite has better graphics and combat than X3, in x3 as you know ships are basically just solid blocks with shields, in elite the combat is more involved you have sub systems to aim at and things can fail if they get damaged too much. When i play elite i yearn for it to be more like x3, and then when i watch combat in x3 i wish it could be more like elite, you can't really win this comparison because they both do things the other does not. its a hard comparison for me because i put 100s of hours into x3 before i found it boring, although i kinda got bored pretty fast with elite, it just lacks all those distractions you have in X3 like fitting ships building fleets, buying complex parts setting up UTs all that crap is absent so its just you. No station building by players in elite, the major and minor factions do expand but it will be at the whim of 1000's doing community events and if the stars align (no pun intended) a new station will pop up in a new system. meh, X3 wins a point here because you could let the ai do that for you. bigger galaxy, once you found most of the hidden ships in x3 the exploration kinda dead ended. ![]() This one has been done a bunch of times but elite has better graphics and combat than X3, in x3 as you know ships are basically just solid blocks with shields, in elite the combat is more involved you have sub systems to aim at and things can fail if they get damaged too much.Įxploration is better. ![]()
