OFFICIAL Elite: Dangerous

[Ahhzz]

not sure.. haven;t started the game in months, honestly

 

[Kursah]

I've been taking a break from this and SC. Got into RTS and 4X strategy in the meantime. Still space SciFi themed lol.

On the mission probably like others where you drop out at signal zones until u find him. I'm hoping to see more come of the expansion sooner than later.

 

[R-T-B]

I'm starting this back up again... I always seem to play when you guys don't, lol.

Believe it or not, during my time away I was using my high end SLI-rig to play... Tropico 4.

Still haven't got that ASP? I'll spoil it for you, it's a great versatile ship

I'm looking to get back into ED after I chew through the Division for abit, any comments on the new expansion? From what I've read so far it seems like a bit lackluster... but?

 

[AsRock]

Besides the lack of details for the missions, it's alright.

Anyone playing this ?, although i only play in a private group. if so give me a shout.

 

[bubbleawsome]

So, I've been out of the game for a long time. Last thing I remember I was working on was powerplay ranking. Is there anything new to help with that?

 

[AsRock]

Not touched power play since starting to play again, it totally waste of time as i got sick of losing points for having a life lol.

 

[Muhad]

Game is interesting, but need some more work. I hope they continue to develop it.

Patch update today

Elite Dangerous: Horizons patch 2.0.09
April 26 - BrettC_Frontier
Greetings Commanders,

We’ve a patch incoming today which will update both PC and Xbox One versions.

The servers for all players will be going offline at 10am BST and we’re expecting them to be back up, online and ready to download within a few hours


- Server change to allow scenario spawning to fall back to stations as centre-bodies when the system has a population with no planets. Allows such systems to have conflict zones and for players to influence that war.
- Fixed: Viper MkIV Squadron Blue paint job's icon appears red with white cross
- Change the default number of items per page in Exploration selling from 20 to 50 following from server-side optimisations.
- Fix VR launch option not working (being overridden by your graphics saved display settings)
- Fix missing binding mapping for 'Classic Context'

Bubble popped on yesterday and told me that a new CG had started which was a exploring one, i was really busy trying out the mining again as i had not tried it out for like 8 month but thought screw the mining come back to it later HA.

Been playing around with the Fer De Lance since i started to play again as i played it before i quit playing and enjoyed it a lot until a game with bubble and slammed it sideways in to a massive rock which took all the shields and put it less than 10% hull and being low on funds i went back to the good ol ASP.

I did notice with the FDL that one thing it did well was jumping from system to system which i have not noticed with any ship lower than the FDL, were most after cooldown you can be too close to the sun by time cool down has finished well with the FDL once that cool down has finished you can start jumping with the FDL which ends up with much better jumping system to system as your getting there scanning skimming fuel and leaving while the fuel scoop is still open haha.

With this new CG that has started gave me a idea, the FDL is not good with fuel and it's no big jumper how ever a 12LY jump range and a few extra tanks of fuel could make this a awesome fast for this.

Here's some pics, first the CG, by the way when at a space port you can check Galnet ( i forgot about this, bubble reminded me )shown top right looks like a picture you can click it which is were i got the location i needed to go.

MY FDL, all so ready for kicking ass still as long as it was over 10LY

Not the best examples but a idea, kinda of a pain trying to hit the right buttons at the right time and take a screenshot at the same time.

 

[Ahhzz]

Really want to get back into this, but seriously enjoying BDO still. Oh well, There's always the offline mode later for E: D, right?

 

[AsRock]

Yeah you can complete the CG's in single player \ private group although you need to be online to play it still .


Missed a pic all so went ECO mode too which typically gives you short jumps and lands you on a star that you can re-fuel on. Took a hour to do about 100 jumps ( about 300LY ).

I finally DLed this. Has a hella learning curve. Using k/b and mouse now. Not fun. Gotta get a stick and throttle. I thought a gamepad would work?

 

[AsRock]

I don't like a joy pad my self, heard some people liking it though, you could just do what i been doing and dropping $50 on TM HOTAS ( red is the old version pretty much the same ).

If you have a joypad or can borrow one dam try it for sure.

Reason i got mine was due to being left handed and wanted to see if i could adapt to it. Thinking of getting a more expensive one but they all seemed to be flawed. Been thinking about saving up for a X56 but that company has never done right by me. If it wasn't ED i be happy with CH products their are about the best you can get.

Bad thing is i have gone though 3 of them now how ever how TM warranty is they let you keep the old one and send you a new one and if they don't have one in stock they refund you, well they did with my 1st one near 2 year ago and now i have 3 of them so plenty of parts lol.

At least you be able to check if it's your kinda thing as you said ED has a big learning curve and they don't really help taming that curve either.

Beta .6 news update.
Hey everyone,

The moment has arrived! The 1.6 and The Engineers (2.1) beta is coming just around the corner.

We've mentioned before that this update comes with headline features of Loot and Crafting and missions changes but also the fantastic thing about this update is the sheer depth and richness being added with so many changes, tweaks and additions making it into the update.

The development team have been working incredibly hard and we're really grateful for your patience and support while the content has been developed. Below is the very huge change log which hopefully goes to show the volume of work that has gone into this significant update. Enjoy!

The beta should be going live in the next few hours so make sure you have the latest launcher installed from the frontier store and settle down for a nice long read while you wait for the beta to go live.

Yeah this game needs a HOTAS setup IMO. I tried with kb/m and 360 pad which I still needed the KB too. But I already owned a full cockpit so I installed the game on my cockpit gaming rig and with HOTAS it is a dream.

 

[erocker]

New update is nice. Lots of neat places to land. Beta seemed to run great for me so I'm just going to wait for the live release now. I like using a HOTAS with this game too, but I have no issues using an Xbox controller and a few changes to the keybinds. For whatever keybinds I need that my controller doesn't have room for, I usually assign them to keys on the outer edge of the keyboard.

 

[Kursah]

I was debating hooking my HOTAS back up...but I decided to get back in using just mouse + KB and did pretty damn good. I haven't played in months and it came right back to me. I haven't tried the beta...figure I'll just wait for the official launch and get back into the combat groove. That and figuring out what ship I wanna save up for...i only have 18 mil at the moment. But my Cobra MK3 is decked out and fun. Feels like the flight model is faster and more responsive than I recall from the last time I played...probably placebo....

 

[AsRock]

Yeah not paying for the beta already put in over $100 in to that game, maybe they should give the beta to those who brought there game at full price and not just those who pay for it lol.


Try the Vulture OMG, now that thing moves lol.
