What is the most fustrating experience u constanty get by playing this game..

[Mr.Killer]

Sometimes it just not register it or a tiny move of the mouse prevents it, it's just bothering at times.

Yeah, I get what you mean; I sometimes end up missing too and then the pilot starts turning around to get up.
BUT, even when that happens you still don't need to wait for the whole animation to finish -- simply aim at the chair again behind the pilot and click a second time and you'll get in right away regardless of where the NPC is in their animation.

Often is my second click - address the pilot, and I have to wait out that animation, that....

If you mean the whole "Goodbye" sequence to exit out of a conversation with an NPC, there's also a way to skip that -- Bring up the map view, then return. Bringing up the map also interrupts/cancels the whole "Confirmed" sequence when you give orders to pilots and stuff via Comms. I use this when I'm mass-reassigning people around my fleet. Pause game > Comm > Work somewhere else > M to bring up map > Comm next person > etc... then unpause once I'm done and everyone goes everywhere they need to. It's cumbersome, but it is a workaround to skip all these little delays that works well enough.

since you can go through npc you click on the chair go forward all.the way look down and click again, 100% works without any miss clicking

My complaint is long range scanner mechanics. I just can't understand why the same people who learnt to build such advanced spaceships, couldn't figure out the way to auto-release scan pulse when it charges to maximum power?! It's so silly!

My gripe with long range scanners is that we cannot order an NPC piloted ships to perform a long range scan, and they will not do it while performing the "explore" command. Makes no sense to me.

Some things that have sometimes made me excessively frustrated with the game were to do with watching player-owned drones IS (for once it's not directly that they are slow).

Repair drones that launch during combat (with no player control possible) and either get slaughtered in the crossfire, inhibit your capital's escape/repositioning, or get abandoned and left behind.

Cargodrones transferring or collecting (which I really like to watch when they're behaving) just faffing around thinking or spinning pointlessly whilst trying to avoid things they didn't need to go near anyway, several going after the same container when there are lots of others to pick from, having to return home even if empty before going out again, or deciding to launch miles from the objective even though their host ship was already on its way there. Perhaps the most painful to watch is their total indecision when selecting how best to align when returning and close to their perfectly stationary home ship's drone port (head up, down, left, right, head off avoiding the others waiting in the drone docking queue and come in again - rinse and repeat).

Repair drones that launch during combat (with no player control possible) and either get slaughtered in the crossfire, inhibit your capital's escape/repositioning, or get abandoned and left behind.

That used to annoy me too. Found it endlessly frustrating when repair drones would launch as soon as my ship took the slightest scratch, get destroyed in the crossfire & then not be available when I really needed them (e.g. destroyed engines). However did find an effective workaround. I mod an S ship with Lubricator chassis mod & reroll until I get Unit Capacity as one of it's functions. I store repair drones on that S ship & only transfer them to the main ship when they're really needed. After repairs are complete I stuff them back in the S ship where they can't escape & annoy me. It's a bit clunky, a better solution would definitely be preferable, but it's far better than having no control over them at all.

While I'm here, my biggest gripe is probably the exclusion zones which prevent building close to docks & fabrication/maintenance bays. Don't think I've built a single major station where this didn't annoy me at some point & mess up the design I had planned for the station. Really wish I could turn them off. Generally the intrusion into the exclusion zone is so slight it would have no adverse impact on the ability of ships to dock. For example, can't think of a single reason why ships would have any more trouble docking here than at the maintenance bays on either side (which were permitted).

Should I get from this that you "whine" about this issue, while others happily play the game and enjoy it without long range scanner limitations bothering them?
Funny how that works...

@ Ragnos28: This thread asks for players' opinions and that is what Falcrack gave. There was no need at all for you to get personal about it and potentially derail the thread.

@ Falcrack: Dealt with and no need to respond further in defence.

The thing that drives me nuts the most, is how convoluded, time consuming clickfest it is to swap ship captains/pilots.

You have ability to train 100 pilots at HQ, but then the horrible GUI/logic force you to swap them one-by-one

This needs some kind of - mass select ships, r-click on HQ, swap for best pilot from HQ pool.

I don't know, reducing any sort of criticism of some aspects of the game to "whining" sounds a bit condescending to me.
Just a player opinion. If I'm allowed to express it...if not...fine then.

Another anoying as heck thing is that by default at shipyard, game assign 50% of service crew and 50% marines to the ships, but you need 100% service crew for optimum performance.

Just make 100% service crew a default setting - it's marines that are situational.

I think anyone assigned as either a marine or service crew should act as service crew for the purpose of ship skill level. Assigning them as marines should only affect whether they are available to get sent on boarding ops.

For me, the most annoying thing are the exploding asteroids. I've lost so much time waiting for my brand new raptors and asgard to get repaired after hitting those mines right out of a jumpgate or accelerator. Those exploding asteroids only provide frustration, they are even incredibly tedious to clean up. This is not great game design.

[Socratatus]

It's the immersion stuff when in 1st person for me. The thing no one cares about so i know I'm likely wasting my time writing this:

1. Not being able to really customise my personal ship npc pilot or crew in general. NPC have no real bio at all. I spend so much time with them ordering them about and know nothing about them except how many Stars they have in piloting or Marine, etc. They even die for me no complaints yet I know nothing of them. Bleh. I would never be this way with people in a business. I'd like to know who they were every now and then.

2. Platforms are very, very boring in 1st person. Very little to do. I go to the trade shops, it's always the same boring music, no variety. The sales man just stands there and doesn't appear to be doing anything like maybe tapping on a computer (immersion), just cardboard. Bars are incredibly lifeless, everyone just sits or leans on things. You can't do anything, no playing cards, or dartboard games, gambling, or buying drinks- Nothing. Not even a sexy hologram of a dancing lady to look at. Music - is there even any Bar music in these places? I mean talk about DEAD. Frustrating.

The ability of commonwealth factions to suicide a universe worth of ship tonnage in a Planck time, bringing their economies to a standstill.

I hope they get a blacklist system, because places like Hatikvah's Choice I / Tharka's Cascade XV are an utter black hole of common sense. Same with Argon and Paranid sending their freighters through Pontifex space.

• Losing a high-level trader without warning, just a log entry some hours ago "Killed by unknown in sector x ..".
• Having a station with several thousand population but running around to find it almost empty.

The damn shoot civil ships to gain rep

[Mr.Killer]

Cargo/personel shuttles that turn red around a station, and no nucleair blast can kill them . Same as some drones around Xenon stations, some are kill-able and some not, why the difference? If we start shooting those at a friendly station, it happened to me that I accidently hit the station and the station sends out a warning and most of the time fighters. So much fun to lose rep in a very fast way!
