    Anyone catch the feature in Edge - pretty awesome. My perception of the differences between this and SC is like the differences between Battlefield and CoD. Both epic as there own entity's and with space for their mutual existence. (Pun not intended)

    Yeah it was a good write up; both games should be excellent.

    For any of you interested, Elite Dangerous is being displayed at the Games BAFTAs this Wednesday in London. They’ll be bringing along Oculus Dev kits too for any of you firing your load over that (me!). Then at 2.30pm David Brabham will be giving a talk followed by Q&A session for the ‘Inside Developer Sessions’.

    You can get tickets for £12, and simplying firing off an email request to get your name added to the guestlist will get you into his talk.

    I’ve taken the afternoon off work to go, shall I do a mini news report for anyone interested but unable to go?

    Oh boy, not only do I have to relearn manual rotation matching I also have to master manual landing as well!

    This looks like it could be immense fun, I may have to invest in a good joystick throttle combo, possibly rudder pedals as well. My old Thrustmaster kit was banished to the bottom of a cupboard once Windows abandoned support for the gameport interface in Windows.

    Even after all this time, I still find the concept of the sensor display staggeringly simple but extremely effective at displaying the surrounding contacts. I think its the way it shows Z axis that really makes it for me.

    Ha. You really think that's a skill you've ever lost? I know speed docking a cobra mk iii is a skill I'll have till the day I die.

    You can always get in some practice:

    No idea. I was expecting them to be out of Alpha by now and in to Beta, with a release in May, but that isn't happening :(

    I contacted them about being able to upgrade to the Premium Beta in case anyone is interested.

    And their reply


    I know if their FAQ they mention the possibility but I wanted to see if it was likely or not.

    I want to support them, but £200 for alpha access, or £100 for the first beta is just crazy.

    There's a big chunk of the indie industry moving to an 'early access' model where you pay a bit less and Braben wants, not retail amount but FIVE TIMES RETAIL!

    If they'd let me pay retail but get early access I'll hand over the cash right now.

    That's exactly the problem. I backed for the retail release, because paying £200 for the privilege of the Alpha is stupid. Star Citizen is $40 for Alpha access onwards, which makes way more sense.

    I kinda agree; I can't justify dropping £200 on the alpha but another £70 for the Premium Beta maybe.

    At the end of the days people have spent far more on Star Citizen; some have spent thousands, which is just as daft really.

    Aye, but SC doesn't require you to spend that to get Alpha.
