I wonder if the original game will run normally on hardware 10 years from now?
Who knows? I suspect I won't be playing Elite anymore 10 years from now.

I'm still suffering from "inch deep" syndrome.
Can someone recommend key bindings for a keyboard and mouse setup. I just got this game a few days ago on a steam sale.
I've seen a few people say using keyboard and mouse sucks shit but I really don't see any issues with it. I have no desire to move to a joystick (I have a HOTAS setup) and lose precision aiming.Can someone recommend key bindings for a keyboard and mouse setup.

The expansion is utterly amazing.
You think so? I've been pretty underwhelmed. After driving around for 20 minutes I was bored with that, then I flew around like I used to do and dropped in on another random planet and it had already lost its novelty. I'm struggling here, though I had already put E down because I was bored with it and maybe Horizons doesn't yet offer enough for someone like me.
I liked Elite, but kind of sucks having to drop another $60. Do you guys think there is content enough to justify the full game price?
Honestly the Cutter is an incredible trader. ~320m to outfit IIRC and 728 cargo. :O
I'm going along in my tradeconda, can't wait to make it a fighting anaconda.
I recently kitted out my Tradeconda for PvE farming. I was able to compare this to an A-class Corvette during the Beta. The Corvette definitely kills ships faster, but cannot do so for great lengths of time. My B-Class Battleconda with its 2 C3 G Pulse, 2 C2 G Pulse and 2 C3 F Pulse, 2 C1 F Pulse kills a powerplant with incredible speed while being able to have 4 pips to shields all the time.
It can go for hours at a Haz Res racking up tens of millions of credits without needing a single SCB or rearm. C7 Bi-Weave + 7 Shield boosters and a KWS meant that shield strength is never a problem. I gave it 3 C4 Shield Cell Banks which allows no heat sinks to activate 1 at a time.
edit: Game is a stutterfest on my GT 650M 1 GB. FPS varies immensely and performance does not improve going from 1080p to 720p at all! This game definitely needs a decent GPU for a consistent framerate, The game streams through steam really well fortunately. Anyone with a Desktop + a laptop/tablet can stream this game very easily.
I play on a Radeon 7870 and it runs great at native res (1920x1080 I think?) for me.Hey guys, what are the oldest GPUs you've played this game on? I know the requirements say a GTX 650m 512mb is minimum, but I've got a machine for my little brother that's got a HD 5750 1GB and he really wants to play. I'd upgrade it for cheap but it's an old iMac.
Direct comparison here.
