Salty answer aside . Sliding is performed by hitting CROUCH while sprinting . While sliding you can aimdownsight of your Shotgun like you were walking instead of sprinting where you have to wait for the sprint animation to end before you can ADS . Sliding lets you keep your sprinting speed going while shooting . <| sep |> Please give some evidence to support your claim you silly liberal . <| sep |> Its denying the game to the other players . You saved your own ass at the expense of someone elses frustrationSeriously its almost like your fun stems from someone else ' s frustration . If The Game to you is murdering other players , then yes you have been denied the game . Think about it though , what if the other player didnt want to be killed ? Having fun at the expense of someone ' s frustration isnt something I am very fond of . I dont want them to be persistent for others . Other people would never see your instance unless invited , think GTA 5 Online housing setupYou still need some kind of link to the server , for other players to be able to join your instance they need to have some basic information . Most importantly , Invite only instances open the way for many new exploits , like players controlling and altering the mission rewards distributed at a station , since in your head thats locally computed right ? If the main servers doesnt handle giving out missions to instances , it becomes very easy to alter and for everyone to enjoy single jump billion dollar missions at your station . Does it really not bother you at all that as supposed owners of these stations and systems there is NOTHING you can do about them ? Its not an official feature yet nor was it ever announced to be a feature , so no the fact that your projection of hopes and dreams are not being implemented on this game do not bother me at all . Even if devs try to take in player submissions and forcefully add those to the game it ' ll never be as good as if they end up making it into an actual feature , so my point was why cant you just wait ? Do you really need these small features so bad that the rest of the game isnt good to you just because you cant slap a name on your ship ? What the hell is this false sense of meaning you are trying to get out of this video game ? The thrill of this game is the randomness other players provideI disagree , the thrill of this game is shooting other ships with your own ship , finding beautiful planet scapes and landable planets out of the bubble , boosting into the mailslot without getting scanned to avoid losing this cargo you are smuggling . I dont need anyone else to have fun in this game , and the Solo play mode is a testament to the fact that Elite Dangerous is NOT an MMO . The point of solo play is to avoid noob killers in Eravate and to avoid getting randomly interdicted by an asshole looking for some meaning on your way back from a long exploration trip . You dont need to be in Open Play to have fun experiences . You dont have to be in in a pvp fight to feel the thrill of this game . Elite Dangerous is massively multiplayer online game , even if it tries its best at pretending its not with their Solo mode . Call it a MMO all you want , you dont need to interact with real players to play this game , therefore it is not an MMO . Its an open galaxy spacesim with a multiplayer mode . If it were an MMO , as you said , Solo play would not exist . They arent trying to pretend this isnt an MMO , ITS NOT AN MMO . You think its an MMO because when you click Open Play you see a bunch of actual players . You can play it LIKE an mmo with other human players but It will never be an actual MMO as long as Solo Play is an option . How do you play the game ? Maybe to you this game is a total grindfest because you are looking to create some bullshit meaning for your name in a virtual universe , but to me this game is a total blast and fun every time I play it . Our group is 35 people , mostly we wing up and go out bounty hunting , last month we went on a trip to the core which was quite nice as well . Some times we just go on random surfaces and fuck around with srv ' s , collect a couple materials , race some canyons . Do I really need to tell you how to have fun in this game ? which as it stands is the only real way to have two ships interactingFalse , you can play catch the cargo with your friends . In Elite you are forced to wait these 15 seconds BEFORE you disconnect and as soon as you do disconnect maybe 35 seconds your ship pops out of existence . If i pull the cable or hardclose the application by other means thre is no 15 second cool down . Im pretty sure this aint true . The 15 seconds cool down is there any time the ship is in danger . If you forcefully quit the ship should stay there for 15 seconds before popping out of existence . If your ship really disappears as soon as you pull the plug thats a problematic feature , but if you have to wait 15 seconds regardless then its a good mechanic .
