No, really, I mean it. (TL: DR at bottom)It's time to step up, it's time to whinge, moan, complain, yell four letter obscenities (that are censored, but do it anyway), because the only way we well get any sort of worthwhile epxloration goodies is by complaining. Loudly.Time to take a page from the PvP Git Gud Guide™ to getting your content given some attention. I mean, a whole Beta/minor update test was DEDICATED to combat. I've never seen a Beta for a minor update before.Now, i'm not having a go at the PvP combat crowd, I'm saying we should follow their lead.What brought this on?Well, last night, I noticed a Galnet article on the new systems where ruins are allegedly located, and I decided to head on over and take a look for myself.The system I picked had the potential candidate planets at 340k Ly from drop in (Well played, FD, well played - this alone ensures the Cannon will not confirm it's location within 20 minutes!), though, being a long time explorer, I laugh at such distances. I took the time in SC to write order my new Baur F3 pedals So, I finally hit the system, and decided to scan a few bodies, and take a guess at searching the planet surface.First of all, this is actually epically boring after the first five minutes. And highlighted to me that explorer's are REALLY under equipped. This wasn't the trigger though, oh no...See, what triggered me, was that after about 2 hours of searching, there was a "server reboot". Now, having done some searching in the Formidine Rift region for the bases there, and having witnessed the whole crash to desktop screw up, followed by the update that was meant to fix it (3 months later, roughly?), it hit me. The content we were searching for, most likely, had not actually been added.In other words, I realised that I had probably just wasted 2 hours searching for content that had not been inserted (now, I may be wrong, but the timing, and the historical record...), and someone realised, and because Cannon is a large group, we wouldn't want them getting annoyed, seeing as Michael Brooks visits that thread, and they may complain. Unlike the Formidine Rift crowd, because dev's never pop their heads int here, despite being the greatest mystery content int he game since Gamma.So, fellow explorer's, I implore you. Stand up. Shout loud. Start many threads, make many posts in those threads, make your wishes known.There was a video I saw where someone was talking replying to the lack of content claims for explorer's. Something about "did you not see the billions of planets?". Sadly, if this is how the dev's see it, we are doomed. Content is nothing if we don't have tools, for a start...I mean, for heaven's sake, lowering our graphics detail levels is the only tool we have that helps in searching for surface structures. Seriously?So, examples?Well, how about modules/scanners that allow us to actually search for, and find stuff on planet surfaces? I'm not asking for an "iWin" button, I am asking for tools that make searching for stuff interesting and fun. Like, maybe a satellite view, that allows us to take scans of large areas of a planet's surface, and then zoom in and inspect them on the system map. you know, give that zoom feature a purpose...Or... give the DSS a proper use, where it can identify irregularities, with different signatures (kinda like the wave scanner on the SRV), that allow us to identify potential sites of interest.Because cruising along 10km above a planet, with a circumference of 20000KM, at 200m/s, searching for something on the ground with your eyes... This is NOT fun. really, Dev's, if this is your idea of content... If we had a way to narrow down search areas to, say 500km squared (or whatever), at least then we would be able to stay tuned in.How about traction control for the SRV? (Seriously, it's a 6wd with with huge knobby tyres that handles like a 1976 911 Turbo). This, of course, is just a Quality of Life (QoL) thing, but still...How about a few SRV options? An exploration dedicated "SLF"? The ability to dismiss our ships when in our SLF's, because, you know, it seems to work OK with the SRV, so why not the SLF's? At least we can search with greater speed, have a bit more fun, and NOT WORRY ABOUT THE DAMN NPC CRASHING OUR SHIP! Not to mention not worrying about some stupid 30km distance limit.Another QoL thing... How about the stats for the planet appear in our info panel as the planet scans? So we don't have to go to the system map to check the information on a planet? Maybe these details should appear int he info panel when a planet is select, and scanned? And if the scan information populates over the period of the scan, at least we have something to do whilst pointing at a set of pixels for 20-60 seconds (who decided we need to scan for so long, anyway? you need a smack!)?How about our DSS's actually give us a "hotspot" style view of a planet, showing which regions are more likely to contain particular materials?How about being able to enter/mark co-ordinates on a planet that we can fly to rather than spending forever working our way towards co-ordinates we want to go to? Yes, I know how to navigate, but unless you can tell me a 100% accurate way to know which side of a planet to approach from, in an unknown system, and know which is the North and South pole, then my time is being wasted. At least let me bookmark co-ordinates I have already been to, to allow for easy return.I'm not even getting started, of course. that's what I need you, my fellow explorer's, to do. Make noise, suggestions, and scream them, keep complaining, keep moaning, and most of all, keep us at the top of the page. We explorers are far too docile for our own good. Come on, people, time to claim what's ours!TLR - PvP'ers seem to get their content improved by being vocal, explorer's need to do the same, because one button honk and jump, and scouring millions of square kilometres of planet surface visually at 200m/s searching for POI's is not fun.Z...I
