Elite: Dangerous Discussion

[FifthGear]

Any other Elite Dangerous commanders out there?! I saw that Star Citizen had its own forum, but wanted to at least get a thread going for Elite.

You know it! I love the game Cmdr Fallgone36. Renegade Mob smuggler, slave trader, and all around handsomest man in Federation space. Hahaha

[ZeroNem]

Yep, great game, I'm Cmdr ZeroNem in game, I normally play as a bounty hunter and can be usually found lurking/hunting in the resource extraction sites around various large planets in mainly federation systems. Currently flying a Python with numerous A class fixtures. I also have a weapon kit oriented Vulture Build for combat as it's a lot more maneuverable than the Python. Working my way up to an Anaconda, but that's still a long way away.

nice! i go by the same name. Mostly hunting with my cobra right now until i figure out what ship i want next.

[ZeroNem]

Might I recommend an ASP or Vulture, both would be the next ship up in my opinion, the Vulture is the cheaper of the two in terms of credits the last I checked. Nothing wrong with sticking to the Cobra MK lll either, I was planning on doing that until the guys I usually party up with were always quicker to get into the bounty engagements due to slightly better stats on their ship. I use http://www.edshipyard.com when planning upgrades or progression to a new ship, might help if you haven't come by it before.

I played it on launch, then less and less and fairly recently uninstalled it because I needed the space. I do plan to reinstall though. Glad people are still playing!

Greetings Commanders! I love Elite! Not real hyped about the pricing model they've chosen for expansions, but it is still a great game! Everything they're showing looks amazing.. Did you guys pre-purchase Horizions?

[FifthGear]

I did, the beta for horizons supposedly starts tomorrow. I bought access to the beta, so hopefully i can play it this week.

[sneaky_hobbitses]

Awesome! Let us know how it is. I'm kindof lost in the wasteland at the moment so I'm probably going to just wait and see about Horizons. I hope it's as great as it looks though!

[Pentahybrid]

Horizons is going to change the face of gaming as we know it. I've seen some of his videos showing off what it can do...astonishing.

[sneaky_hobbitses]

Yeah it's looking really good. I've been watching the live streams and following it on Reddit. Its an absolutely stunning game visually. I'm excited to see where they're going to go... and watch out for the Thargoids

[FifthGear]

Quick little discovery i made last night in the Horizons Beta.

[sneaky_hobbitses]

That's awesome.. so what was that data point?!

[FifthGear]

It was a crashed navigation point. Scanned that, and got around 3,000 credits for it. There are other points to scan / hack around bases and what not.

[sneaky_hobbitses]

nice!
