One of the upcoming features for Elite Dangerous is the ability to more easily switch between your ships, which sounds like nothing but a net positive for all pilots. Yet it has managed to spark controversy even so, with some in the community upset that the transfer feature presumed to instantly teleport a player’s other ships to his or her starport. These players feel that there should be a delivery time to preserve immersion and reflect the travel times in the galaxy.
Caught between an interstellar rock and a black hole of rage, Frontier has put out a player poll to guide the final decision on this matter. “We’ll run the poll until Monday next week,” the studio said. “Unless there is a significant majority vote against ship transfer delivery times, along with a high turnout, we will likely be moving towards implementing plausible delays into ship and module transfer, though such a change may affect when the features comes online.”
Speaking of the community, one pilot just finished a “rough circumnavigation” of the entire galaxy and posted results of that journey to Reddit with key discoveries and locations. And if you’re in the mood for some Elite Dangerous feels, one fan put together a rather stirring tour of the galaxy set to inspirational music which you can view below.
