Elite: Dangerous Release

The Type 6 is a fun craft though.
The 100t cargo makes trades very profitable.

yes it is, and depending on how much heartburn I keep getting with the 7, I might buy the 6 again and sell the 7

There's rumors of a wipe coming to fix the accidental multi-millionaire error.

On Reddit there was one guy who told everyone he got 5bn credits.
They better not wipe my hard earned creds!
I'm only getting around to making 200k round trip trades!
Grinding out to get my Python.

And still trying to avoid being ganked. Because they are out there waiting to blow me up for the heck of it.

Realised I've been posting screenshots to a facebook group I'm in but not here! This game is so frickin' pretty!

Was fuel scooping a while back and saw a solar flare start to form in front of me. Took a ton of screenshots and made a gif of the result (whole thing took around 1 minute):

So...consensus is this is pretty good? Thinking about getting this. Space is pretty neat.

right now it is just space truckers in space...havent played in 2 months now cuz it gets dull pretty fast. but as the game continues to be developed there might be some shakeups...but it still seems really early for a "non-beta" game.

That being said, SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE...and it is pretty!

[Dirty Dan]

Okay well I got it on steam because I figure worst case if it's kinda boring I'll listen to tunes while I do space science.

I've been playing the crap out of this game - haven't tried wing gameplay yet, if anyone wants to do that hit me up.

[ADevilishPotato]

Yeah im still waiting for it to further along in it's dev cycle...calling it released when it was turned into a joke, still need a little more substance to it before I jump back into its arms....but I still do love all the stars!

Add me on your friends: DOGEH
If you need help in ED, give me a shout and I'll get you some credits!

So, after reading your all's glowing endorsements, I bought the game. My son bought me this Logitech joystick a couple of years ago to break me out of my Trainz Simulator funk I was in and I thought,"this may be just an opportunity to put that thing to use."

I'm still watching training videos and trying to figure out the best way to map my buttons so, it may be awhile before you see me actually in game.

[jim beam]

i guess maybe ill play this some more. I bought this after dan talked me into it over the summer and then like normal he bailed on playing

[Greebo]

I finally got a new joystick for xmas and am now continuing my journey to the galaxy center.
Still a long long way to go (because I obsessively explore every system I journey through...might stop that soon!), currently about 2100Ly from Sol and heading towards the Lagoon Nebula.

Have fun CMDR Uncle Vanya!
I was at the galactic centre (Sag A*) last August!

Took me six weeks to fly out there and back! Found loads of Earthlikes and waterworlds.
I am at Pioneer for exploration right now, but I'm getting the itch to head back out, to get Elite once and for all.
Will put the Anaconda away and get out the Asp again!

I have a HOTAS, TrackIR, three screens and a Lifetime Expansion Pass....this game is costing me a fortune!

[Greebo]

I missed the boat on the lifetime pass. Is Horizons worth it? (If I bought it could I immediately start landing on planets, even though I have no rover on board?)

I suspect my journey will take longer than 6 weeks - between work and the kiddo I suspect my time will be limited at best!

I was lucky enough to get the Saitek X-55 for christmas so I can now play the whole game without taking my hands of the joystick/throttle. Sooo many buttons!
