Multi Elite - Dangerous by David Braben

How do you choose your commander name? Mine is just backer. 33533 or something like that

 

Not cheap!

My commander name GravitySmacked.

Also has anyone seen the changelog for the latest patch?

I have never ever, ever, seen a bigger patch changelog than that. Never. Did I say Never?

 

I know; someone posted on Reddit that it was longer than the current Star Citizen code-base (tongue in cheek) to which another poster took extreme exception to.

 

Perhaps there should be a server that both E: D and SC games could log into. You'd get some fierce PvP action.

 

are the co-op elements enabled in the beta yet? I have a mate who is trying to convince me to get it.

 

Apparently yes, some of the multiplayer components have been updated to allow friends lists etc.

 

That's bigger than most Linux kernel changelogs!

PS Are we still teamspeaking tonight?

 

Yes! ETA 27 minutes!

Also there's another patch out - v1.01

 

Commander Leofric,

sorry couldn't !make tonight... But tomorrow sure

 

Cei and I were on tonight, but sadly the grouping still doesn't quite work! Its a bug which hopefully they'll iron out soon!

Still, had some great fun. Did a couple of trading runs. Was haulin titanium to Aulin when I got interdicted, destroyed the enemy but ran out of fuel before I could dock. This was not good, as I then rejected the offer of being visited by a refueling ship because the price was extortionate (672 Credits), Unfortunately, that meant my life support failed, and Parge did some pretty serious dying.

Still I did get time to record this just before I died (see my fuel level in bottom right hand corner)


Also, new trailer!

 

Oh wow. Didnt realise this had gone to beta. Is it open? Parge did i hear voice commands in your vid lol?

 

No open beta at all. Are you a Kickstarter backer? You can buy in anytime if not.

And hell yes, I use Voice Attack for everything!

'Nav Panel'
'Engage jump drive'
'Lower Weapons'
etc etc etc

 

I'm in! bit overwhelmed with all the controls and I really need a joystick but I like what little I played.

 

Standard Beta has landed. I got 30mins of training missions in last night.

 

Yep, it massively helps having a joystick! And also for immersion - can't beat pushing a real throttle forward to increase thrust for jump! So awesome!

 

Simple to tie in my pedals, but yaw is SO sloooooooow!

 

Yeah, its a design decision. I can't remember why though, makes combat more interesting?

 

I think they need to tweak the yaw speed up slightly, as it makes some flight manoeuvres really quite hard to pull off.

Annoyed that the friends list stuff isn't working properly, as that was one of the highlights of the Beta launch. So far it doesn't feel much different to the Premium Beta phase.

 

Any tips on a reasonably priced Joystick? I haven't had a JS since back in the days of the original Freespace & Starlancer, it was an MS Sidewinder.
