I think checkpoints would have been a great idea, because this game is hard, that is simply a fact.

The developers have poured years of effort into the game with no compensation whatsoever. And yes, some of what they did could possibly be improved upon. But ranting about it will not get you anywhere. As has been stated previously: If you refuse to play the game, that's your choice, no-one loses out except you.
I honestly suggest you focus on improving your piloting skills and enjoy the game for what it is. You may even learn to like the challenge.

I always admired your straightforwardness Keldor.
It's a blessing and a curse

I suggest you learn to read the posts. I was NOT the one saying that I would not play the game. I was the one saying that I agreed with the poster that posted that HE refused to play, because of the checkpoints. That I understood his frustration and again, I will not back down from that viewpoint.
I think that this game needs checkpoints. It is certianly hard enough!
Again, because something is free, it does not mean people cannot find way to improve it. The original game and what they did makes no difference to weather or not something can be made better. I never said anywhere it had to be the original developers of the game now did I? If I did, please point to the post I stated this in. Because I cannot find it! Nor do I remember posting it. I simply said it could be improved, as to WHO does it, I could care less.
You are assuming an awful lot of things I never stated!
Everyone in this thread NEEDS to quit thinking the DEVELOPERS are somehow being jumped on simply because people say this game needs checkpoints! That is completely stupid!
Most people like the game and appreciate the hard work that went into it, so before you go off on a rant thinking because someone thinks this game needs checkpoints it is somehow associated with an attack against the developers, you really need to STOP and THINK about what has been suggested.
As far as I could tell, no one was jumping on the developers, but rather stating FACTS that is IS frustrating having to replay the game over and over and over again, simply because of a lack of checkpoints.
