Glad to see space games are celebrating a comeback. :-)
-
So I'm still playing ED... but the more I play it, the more I find things that aren't where they should be in terms of refinement. The game still needs some polish as far as gameplay goes. There are a few walls you inevitably will run into that are …
-
Well, I'm slowly but surely getting along with ED. There are a few things that still annoy me and spark a vivid urge in me to kick some FD developer in the nut sack. lol It's so easy to waste credits it's not even funny. I regularly end up frying on…

Plane Passenger Tossed after Flipping Out Over Staff’s ‘Merry Christmas’, I don't get it. What is it with people and air travel... and macademian nuts. This is what happens when you don't educate your kids on what is appropriate behavior. ;-) Maybe …

Merry Christmas everyone! ;-) Wil Wheaton is actually a very nice and funny guy. He still has people hating on him though, can you believe it, after all this time?? My contribution for laughs:
-
Thanks a lot Worf, the emperor is sick and the locations mentionned in the forum are only 132-140 LY away... I doubt they'll still want those drugs when I get back. lol I'm screwed! Edit: Emperor Sickness Worsens... I don't think he's going to make…
-
Great, I finally got my first federal mission and I am tasked to procure some combat stabiliser medicine which is illegal and hard to come by. No idea where to get it. I tried in an anarchy system and the market will only buy, not sell. The black ma…
-
Looks like there are quite a few things we need to figure out for ourselves. Fire group settings for instance and how to use gear properly in general. I learn new stuff every day. I removed the fuel scoop for now, I don't quite see the point in expl…
-
Before I'll take on another Anaconda I'll try to get better at frying the smaller fishes ... or, snakes. ;-) I will save for a jump cloud scanner/analyzer, too many attackers managed to slip away when they realized I'm not that harmless as my rating…
-
Another successful stay in space, I finally figured how to interdict other vessels. It took some online digging to figure out how to do it. A YouTube video did an excellent job of explaining the details. A bug in the outfitting department did not he…
-
I'm sure vipers are good for someone, just not for me. I find the specs of a viper too limiting, little cargo space, little jump distance due to low fuel capacity, reduced weaponry due to power limitations. After a couple jumps you actually have to …
-
ED 1.02, bought my first Viper today... never flown it before. I think I screwed up. The Viper is smaller than the Cobra!! lol At least it's my first ship that I paid for ingame. So I haul some cargo to some platform (Bakalaa Prison Colony) and I …
-
Nice job Worf, I hope they'll reconsider their stance on external ship views. It would certainly go a long way to encourage people to make more videos.
-
I got attacked by a viper tonight and defended myself quite admirably with little damage and pocketed a nice reward. I'm over my first 100k credits. Business is good. ;-)
-
Elite: Dangerous 1.0.0.0 is out!
-
Well, I haven't, it's on the list of things I need to learn how to do. So far I've taken out only Sidewinders and Eagles using 4 burst lasers. I haven't upgraded anything else yet. It didn't take much for the Anaconda to punch me lights out indeed. …
-
Okay, wow! That was fun. I managed to figure out a hitman mission and I was not disconnected once. I did die in the end but at least I know now how to go about it. The target I was supposed to locate flew an Anaconda so I was outclassed in my Cobra …
-
I just hope the failures don't mess up too much our reputations. So much for not wiping our accounts on release day. I will probably wipe my account myself anyway, with all the buggy and failed missions I'd rather start with a clean slate. The 2.06 …
-
So I noticed, I also failed my hitman contract for some reason. I guess we shouldn't expect perfection at this stage, the missions will need debugging too. As I write this another update (2.06) is pending. I will take screen shots from my missions a…
-
I did a couple logistics missions and they do pay well enough for what little risk you take. I can see myself making a few credits that way. I suppose it is also about building up a reputation to get better contracts. I do get disconnected from the …
-
Gamma 2.05. I guess they'll work on ED until release day to get most pressing issues resolved. Can't tell what they fixed between 2.04 and 2.05, but not all has to be visible I suppose. Anyway, I managed to complete my first mission today, althoug…
-
True, I was referring to those matched dogfights, if your target is bigger, then you'll have more to chew on of course. lol Just got disconnected from the server again. This is something I will expect to see more often. Still trying to figure out st…
-
That's a nice jump sequence indeed. I'm sure we'll run into more stuff like that as the game progesses. Apparently the Voyager 2 probe was sighted as well. Who knows what other easter eggs we'll run into. I agree, the game has been running quite we…
-
Well, I just finished upgrading to version 2.03 and I'm back in the cockpit of a brand new cobra. ;-) I redownloaded the game after deleting the local FD folders, so I can't say for sure what fixed the game, I'm assuming the patch did. The weekend a…
-
Just as I wanted to start up my first ED session did the message pop up inside a comms window that the galaxy server would go down in 15 mins for the release of Gamma 2.01. Damn these guys are busy... breaking the game. I'm now a member of the spinn…
-
I see, well that method isn't always an option. I can live with the restrictions, I just don't want to toss out cargo. lol I didn't get to play the new gamma last night, after the installation it was time for bed... having to go to work the next day…
-
Thanks!! ;-) Btw, Gamma 2.0 incoming, I already installed the newly designed client, but they are currently working on the servers. Can't wait, the list of bug fixes is huuuuuge! O.o Edit: They issued a second installer, the first one didn't have t…
-
How would you go about making two jumps? I'm no Han Solo. lol Still trying to figure things out. I think there is a way to figure out how much cargo you can load up inside a station so you don't end up overloaded on your way out to make a specific d…
-
Looks like I lost my cobra for good and I'm now stuck with a sidewinder until I can afford to upgrade. Just great. I noticed that cargo mass affects the distance you can jump. The more you have loaded the less far you can travel. Whoever thought tha…
-
Wow, talk about a bombshell... the wipe thread has already 100 pages. I was wondering the same thing though. Is it worth investing too much time into the game at this point if all accounts get reset at release day. Don't know if I want to read throu…
