Elite: Dangerous

I tried a planet-landing mission last night, but managed to crash and kill myself. Then I went to a different planet to practice landing, but apparently the base there was off-limits so I got flagged for trespassing. I went back to the main station to pay the fine, but didn't realise I was going to get thrown in prison for it, so now I'm in the prison system light years from where I used to be. :D
 
It was free on Epic Games for a while, which is hilarious when you consider Star Citizen. We'll all be living on Mars when that's released. Anyway, I am put off playing it because it seems like an actual trainer for space flight. First time I tried it I think I pinballed around the hangar for 5 minutes and then accidentally fell out of the exit.

Not sure how you managed that - every ship comes with a built-in autopilot for docking and undocking, you just have to sit and watch while it does it all for you. It even plays The Blue Danube at the same time.

That's news to me but I've never had a problem docking. Maybe because I've always used a hotas.

I've also seen people using auto-supercruise.
 
I deliberately avoided Coriolis stations for a couple of weeks cos I found getting through the slots hard. Then I just bit the bullet and got on with it. It's not that hard, even in a Cutter

I've uninstalled it as I've just taken delivery of my first proper gaming PC, but I'll be up and running mid part of next week.

Lol, I wasn't showing off, not really, but seeing as you ask, it's got an i7 processor, 16gb memory, 1070 graphics card and 3tb of storage

Ok I’ve actually been putting the hours in on this and feel like I’m getting the hang of it.
Currently cutting about in a diamondback explorer with 33ly jump range and ferrying passengers around. Had my arse handed to me in combat a couple of times so want to too end the guns before i go back to much of that.

eta: same username or just withnail on there
 
Managed to actually do some bounty hunting for the first time, albeit with a little help. Getting some more money together now and starting to think about buying a second ship.
 
Anyone tried it? Lot's of bugs being reported in reddit but that seems to be par for the course these days. Gamers are basically beta testers these days.
 
Watched some of a stream yesterday and it does not look good tbh. Launch days are always shitty but the game doesn't look like it has anything more than people have already done in the alpha. So glad I didn't get it. Saving my money for Biomutant next week.
