I see a lot of topics about Master Modes and why they are bad and what they solve and what problems they have and how they should or could be balanced by changing this or that value etc. But honestly, that's not my main issue with MM. I am not so great pilot to probably be even able to recognize some issues other people talk about. For me personaly main issue with MM is how bad it just feels to fly now. Thats something whats overlooked and underestimated not just in SC but in many games, just that feeling player gets why playing the game. Sometimes no one is even able to pinpoint what makes it feel so good to play, its like magic. But in case of SC I am afraid that magic is just gone now... Constant switching those artificial modes which almost instantly change my speed... its just... it feels forced. Someone said it well in another discussion "its like driving a child bike with training wheels". That probably best describes what I feel flying with MM and why it makes whole game boring for me, unfortunately. I want adult bike and be able to do all the kind of movements with it, even ride on just one wheel and learn other tricks. No one is riding child bike with training wheels their whole life and enjoying it. Before MM I had to think about how fast I am approaching station, if i dont go too fast. If I failed I crashed and thanks to it I learned how to do it better next time. In fight, I decided how fast I want to enter combat and how I want to fight. I had freedom to think and decide what to do from a pool of endless options. Now it feels like I am forced to play just one way and the freedom to choose is almost gone. Its just brainless now for me. Flying to station full speed - switching mode to SCM - insta breaks - pulling landing gear - insta slow to 50m/s (or whatever is that speed). Going in fight, switching mode - insta set speed on max SCM - getting closer shooting everything while barely moving - switching mode - flying away... I guess am not even able to express it properly, it just feels forced and artificial and I feel no need to train flying or need to improve in any way. Its just feel bad and its boring and it truly makes me sad if this is the future of flight in SC. Thats just my opinion and different perspective on the issue. EDIT: One idea from comments i like and could solve my main issue. Why we have to switch modes with pressing button? Why not have shields and all active in lower speed and once we go over threshold we get warning and it deactivates all. And ofc every time we switch to quantum jump it would deactivate your weapons shields and so on too. That just sound really good to me.
