I saw the news the other day. I'd pay 45 for the expansion now if I had time for games atm, but by the time I get back around to it, it'll be cheaper. So I'll wait til it's cheaper ;). Looks interesting.

Yeah. It's all online play connected to the server, and plenty of npc ships flying around. But it's instanced and you can do solo, small group multiplayer (friends), or full multiplayer. And you can switch play modes whenever by logging off and then back on. Well small group play was in the...

Yeah, kinda quiet in here. I'm a gamer and having a blast with this game, but it's all very low priority atm with a move, a baby, and a job search all happening within the next 8 months :D. I'm expecting a lot of extended hiatuses, such as right now.

The Fer-de-Lance looks interesting as well, but it's closer to the price range of a Python. I hope they give the passenger ships a valid reason for existence. I haven't logged in since the evening I got the clipper, but that's only cause we've being doing a lot of work to the house -- new...

I've got a pretty good trade route, usually between 2600 - 3000 / cargo space per round trip (2 jumps) during the week. But I've noticed when I have the opportunity to play during the weekend...it really tanks on the weekend :thumbsdown:.

I've had docking issues a few times lately, at outposts, due to another ship having just left the very dock I have permission to enter. It seems that following a launch, a landing pad will lower again, spin around, and lift back up to fix its orientation. The problem seems to occur when you...

Whew. I made it to Empire rank of Count. Funny, it was the same mission as the one to reach Squire for me: take out a Gen. Jaroszewicz in a clipper. This time, though, she was Elite instead of Novice or whatever she was the 1st time, and it was quite a bit more challenging. I had to run from our...

My wife has been talking for a while about getting me a new, nice computer desk. I'm currently using a 3rd dinner table we didn't have a use for, and nothing has pointed out how non-ergonomic my current setup is than this game--my joystick (and kb/mouse) sits way too high. I ran across the...

Kidding. ;) I wouldn't mind assisting a bit either. Once you have a big enough ship, like you suggested bbhaag, a hundred thousand or 2 is pocket change. I'm sure some people consider a couple million to be pocket change already. It's simply a product of time spent making money, so you guys...

I spent about 90 mins doing empire faction missions last night before I saw the next advancement opportunity, which isn't too bad. It was for hunting down pirates though which I didn't have time for, so I spent another 30 mins turning in the missions I had active :D then flew off to find a place...

Nice, grats. :) I'm about 2mil away from swapping to a type 7. The clipper is just barely more expensive though. How long does it take to take to reach Baron rank from Squire? I might stop trading for a while so I can do missions in my Asp before I get rid of it. edit: saw a reddit post saying...

I picked up an Empire rank progression mission to take out some guy, so I slapped some weapons on my Asp and traded a few other modules to make her combat worthy. The guy happened to be in a clipper. I was a little rusty, because I haven't done combat since the practice sessions before starting...

That's among the largest population systems out there. I want to say Sol has around 14b. I haven't seen any with 20b yet personally. And it depends on how quickly you want a better ship. You'll do that quickest by either focussing on bounty hunting or on trading full time til you can afford the...

NPC AI could use a little work. I was flying under a station on a steady velocity, about 1/2 throttle, and a security vessel scanned me then proceeded to loop around and fly directly at my ship. He ended up ramming me a few seconds later. I could have easily avoided it, but I was curious if he...

Well my bad. 12 mil not 17 then. A class distributor is 400k over D class, minus .3 ly in jump range. A thrusters are 5 mil and subtract .6 ly from jump range. Both are personal preference.

I know you probably can't see it at work, but this page gives a good run down of ship stats. They have tables for the base ships, and trading/explorer/A-class outfitted ships, and more stuff. A very good reference: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Ships But quickly: Ship - Max...

Looks like I need to find this other tool. I've been using Thrudd's. Don't get me wrong Thrudd's will be infinitely better than trying to find your own trades in game, but after I had spent some time searching really hard for better routes with Thrudd's I was getting kind of disappointed with...

My plan is to trade my way up to the big ships and amass plenty of spending money then buy and outfit a few of the smaller ships to play around with. Combat can be fun but I'd rather get the whole worrying about money out of the way first.

I'm getting the hang of trading finally. I shoulda done bounties to start out, but I'm finally in a mostly outfitted hauler and have found some decent trading routes. Though just before calling it a night I was talking to my wife while leaving a station and instead of retracting my landing gear...

Just bought this late last night after debating with myself for a while. I also ordered a Saitek X-55 :D. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to fire up the game tonight. I've been longing for a good, relatively new space flight game.

I liked Animus > Novus better than the previous steps as well. Though maybe Atmas are better now with the increased drop rates. I haven't tried. I finally beat t9 on Saturday, as did 1 of the bards in our static. So that brings us to 4/8 who have clears. We did the same thing for t5 back in...

Time for me to hang up the crafting progression for a while. Ehcatl Sealant is over 200k on my server, and with that on top of the demimateria needed, it's more cost+grind than I care to deal with. I enjoy crafting some, but I'm not willing to invest that much for the new gear when I won't be...

They are more like spiritual sequels, except for cases like FFX, FFX-2, etc which are direct sequels. Play them in any order you want, cause the main games have nothing in common story wise except a few themes.

It'll be the same 3 month-ish wait as between every other major patch (so late Jan or Feb), and the new CT will definitely be in 2.5. I'm curious what else "big" they're trying to get in before the expansion though. I'm gonna take a wild guess that the expansion gets released in May, following...
