OK, Elite Dangerous, you and I need a separation. I knew I shouldn't have checked out that tip-off, seeing as the last one was very lame, but I went against my better judgement.

The tip off led me to a three-star security base? Really? Those are a dime a dozen in this game. Oh so special, and so worth a 200LY trip...

@DragonIV You need to go immerse yourself in some pretty shinies very far away CMDR, grab an exploration ship and leave the grind behind.

That being said... what are you flying to consider 200 Ly to be a long trip?

@jkb Exploring...yeah, tried it once. Got about 1000K out and the sameness of the mechanic did me in.

A 200LY trip isn't that big of a deal, most of my ships are FSD-engineered at least. That said, it is a long way to go for a lousy gameplay mechanic. :D

I've been approaching burnout for a while--usually go six months play, 2-3 break. Typically come back when the itch to fly must be scratched.

Hard to tell I'm a "do something" rather than "see something" kind of person.

@DragonIV But wait, you usually play *only* Elite when not taking a 2-months break from it ?

@jkb No, I play Rocket League (all the time), GTA5, American Truck Sim, Mashinky, all kinds of stuff.

Minus Elite, I'll probably go play Witcher 3 which I've been meaning to get back to.
