Think voice attack, oculus rift and a decent joystick and throttle should make this amazing. Already with mouse and keyboard on a monitor the flying is intuitive.

Re: Elite: Dangerous

Any price set for release, or will it be more than £50?

RIP PERPETUUM

Re: Elite: Dangerous

No release price yet and currently rebuilding my Alienware as the saitek drivers fooked it! fuuu

Re: Elite: Dangerous

The release price is £35. The £50 for beta includes the release, your paying £15 to play it up front.

How is this game btw, any good?

Re: Elite: Dangerous

hmm, how is it?

Its entertaining, but lacks a little bit diversity and needs allot more ways for player to interact with each other. In DaOpa's stream (you may remember that name wink) the most frequently asked question is "is that a solo or multiplayer game"

Re: Elite: Dangerous

It is a solo game with other player destroying your trade price and the possibility to have PvP in some places.
Unfortunately cooperative mechanisms are  nonexistant till ~march.

Re: Elite: Dangerous

You can have PvP everywhere - it just puts a bounty on your head in case you shoot someone without agression, eventually gets you a temp-ban if youre bashing the same player over and over,
and the bounty is paid from your wallet if your getting shot down.

Unlike perpetuum - piracy is a possible occupation. 

cooperative play is without any mechanics, which means you have to do it without any ingame hints (which makes assisting someone who got pulled out of FTL not that easy)

So far, the Frontier DEVs have implemented all the basic stuff necessary for a sandbox game, that is completely missing in Perp -> instead, they have not yet implemented the necessary mmo elements. (doesn't even have a non-peer2peer chat!!!)

I have been playing this game back in the 80´s on a BBC Computer with wireframe grafix and it was great fun back then already. I guess Elite is the mother of all space sim games as we now them today smile

This game is great for the immersion it gives. I am still missing some incentives for playing. I usually sit nearby a sun, entering point, and pull out player ships with their shinys out of super-cruise. But that kind of gets repetitive also after a short while.

As a Tip for quick credits, try trading rare goods, they give you a huge return. Try going to System Lave and collect all rare goods in the surrounding systems and sell them at at least 150ly away (the profit gets bigger as further away you sell them, with a diminishing return at about 150ly). System Bast is a good point to sell them, if you coming from Lave and you can buy new rare goods there again for your return trip.
Here is a good tool to find rare goods and plan your routes:

Steam sale 33% off , is it worth it?

Re: Elite: Dangerous

it was 40% off for a day during summer sale.

its still a nice game that soon allows PC, MAC and XBox gamers to play in the same universe.

on a sidenote: the new refund option allows you to try it out wink

or if you got an XBox one, you can play the free version there until its released

Re: Elite: Dangerous

Unless they fixed a lot since I stopped playing (and I played with wings), it is mostly playing for yourself in same universe than playing with (or against) others. I tried to play together with a few friends and it was really hard, to meet in same system when you have player that want to do more than sit in same system and wait for fight.
So in my opinion the presence of other player was not helping in having fun in this game, so I could have played as well Elite Offline.

Re: Elite: Dangerous

im happy that its online.
i wouldn't want to waste the Disk space for 4.5 billion star systems, nor for waste CPU power for the background simulation.

actually, i hope they will fix the netcode soon to client server, not peer2peer

Re: Elite: Dangerous

Update:
First paid expansion anounced and availiable in store for 50€/60$/£40

+ scandal:

the "expansion" is not really a DLC upgrade, but the full game with additional content. Customers already owning a copy of ED will get a mere 12.5€/15$/£10 discount for a limited time for buying the whole game + expansion again.

thats how you make money...

Seems like its time to push steam for a refund on the original

Re: Elite: Dangerous

i am actually curious how they sell that on steam, since it is not a "DLC".

Will it be worth the 50€ now? Seems to mainly be about some planetary landing shiz.
