Elite: Dangerous

[Molly]

I can do even worse:

I paid full price for AC Unity

[Kalam]

Oh god, Molly. YOU IDIOT.

From the Commander's log:

Today I spent hours looking for rebel transmissions. When I finally found them, I accidentally abandoned the mission before I could turn them in.

pesky unidentified signal sources

Mine is worse: today I traveled 20 systems back and forth in order to cross 10Ly because right now the FSD range of my viper is terrible. Why I absolutely had to cross that gap? Silly naval rank progression mission asked me to go and find non-lethal weapons which are like the rarest commodity in that starting region.

Yet you paid money for stupid Planetside skins.

Yet the money I spent on Planetside 2 skins etc was over a period of time, it wasn't £40 in one hit and it was also at a time when I had quite a bit more cash to waste, also kind of weird that you even know that tbh lol. Times change, money's harder right now, cannot justify blowing £40 in one go for something I'm not sure I'll get much playtime out of yet.

[Leshma]

For a game like this, 40 pounds isn't much. For CoD/AS/FC/NBA/FIFA iteration it is a lot because you get same shit every year.

[Leesin]

£40 is a lot when you are struggling to get the hours in at work, have bills to pay, food to buy and a child you have to help support financially. I can't personally justify the £40 at this moment in time for what I feel right now is a pretty basic game that I may not get much out of for a long while, I am not saying the game is bad and I will probably grab it at a later date when my money is better and the game has more content. FYI I don't buy or play any of those games regardless.

For me the case is about waiting on SC and ED and seeing which game has the coolest features. Granted SC is behind ED in terms of a full feature game, but in the end I have no problem waiting as I only want one space game.

[Radament]

I am cadet but unfriendly with the federation.

so it means they don't like to see me but they like to have me working for them? i'm confuzed

You have to differ between Minor and Major Factions.
Shooting down good traders will get you on the bad side of the Minor. Shooting FedSec will get you on the bad side of the Major.
I am not sure but I think pissing of the Major one will offset other Minor system you even haven't been to yet hence "reputation". Repairing with the Major edits that offset. The pissed of Minor where you killed the good traders will stay pissed off until you get on the good side again.
Something like that...


Sold my Cobra, flying a Type 6 now till I can afford the ASP. That one will be pimped big time

Edit: Type 6 has a cool cockpit view, no doubt

nice ship , but how you managed to earn sooo much money? i'm poor and still doing shitty transport mission for the feds.

[Kalam]

I assume trade? Maybe mining? I can make about 4000/hour trading in my Sidewinder.

From the Commander's log:
Today I spent an hour and a half locked in a dogfight with a Cobra. I thought it was an NPC pirate. In the end, it was some poor dude who didn't know how to use comms. Also I'm dumb.

[Gravoth_iii]

What a horrible name for a game, everytime i see this thread i think its about a crappy FPS or something.

[Leshma]

Name combination isn't the best, they should stick to Frontier Elite... but Dangerous is highest rank in Elite. And Elite is one the oldest video games. Just because there are crappy Brazilian movies and bunch of stupid commando games with Elite in its title doesn't mean they should change the name.

[Grumbs]

I didn't know "Dangerous" referenced something in the Elite universe already. Its just its like calling a horror game "Baddies - 2spookie"

Anyway I won't get this until its on Steam. I don't get random games without steam support because I like auto update and to keep my game library in one place

[Tennenoth]

From my understanding, it doesn't have a high chance of being on Steam. You can add it to your steam library so you can chat through it though, that whole thing works.

Well, I managed to get my new ship, I was super happy, but I found that I became a much worse pilot. Within an hour of owning the new ship, I was fined twice & I had even managed to kill myself, which I hadn't done since my first outing.

Turns out that the AI don't care that you're already leaving a starport if their ship is bigger than yours. Some anaconda decided that he wasn't going to wait for me to finish leaving before he turned on his thrusters and shunted me back into the docking area, getting me a fine.
