I printed out the .PDF of the manual and still have it in a binder. I mentioned it to a friend who started playing before I did, and he said "there's a manual?" 😅
Of course, it's out of date now. I don't know why it was abandoned.
Yeah the codex feels like something done very quickly, I know Elite has so many things to do, but yeah I feel the codex could have added so much more law and grit to the universe.
It all comes at a cost though. And we on the outside don't really know what would be sacrificed to work on things like that. There's always an opportunity cost.
Yes, but i do imagine what a really deep detailed codex would do to add mystique and a feeling of true depth to the lore of the game, yes its lots of work but it then begins something to dig into deeply and that offers a very powerful experience.
True. Maybe it's because I'm also getting old, but trying to read the manual on screen seems like it would be so much more tedious than having a physical book as a handy reference.
