Official Elite Dangerous Thread

Mmmmm if any of you want, you could join my trello page I've set up for long distance travels with other cmdrs. I've already got one trip on it planned and more coming. It easier to keep track of each other that way. And we use it to set up points of interest to meet. Recently we started using it as a gateway to sharing results from testing UAs.

Well I doubt I'll pay again to get Horizons, so I'll just run the base game there. So PC will still be my primary platform for Elite, and I'll also be getting a HOTAS end of the month. So don't worry.

I know the feel. Recently started with Dying Light. I'm sort of still playing catch up. But lately my issue is the fact that I've been spending money on games that have no end-game.

So tempted to buy Horizons but meh @R840 for an early access game....Nope lol

I wouldn't say it's Early Access. The game is quite complete with wha it has, Steam just classifies it as such given their roll out window. Other games that season passes and future expansions/releases don't get slated with the early access label, yet this does.

I don't know mate, from what I've read there is still a ton of content missing. Correct me if I'm wrong?

What I would recommend is wait for that Full Expansion pack to be available at the store again. And then buy that rather. That way it's a sort of investment into the future of the game and in the long run it works out a lot cheaper. It's kinda what I did, and so far I have not regretted it at all.

Every year will be a season of expansions. Which are updates above and beyond the base game. Such as Horizons. So yeah I think another 8 expansions are coming. The Full Expansion package some times becomes available on the frontier store. And it's more worth it in the long run like I said previously, judging by the 10 year development cycle. (I cannot remember what they actually call the full expansion package any more, but my naming is obviously wrong.)

Have a look at this video which I posted earlier. Obsidian highlights some major "content" issues. Yes I agree with a lot of the arguments from the community about the lack of content, but it also comes down to how you use it. He makes a compelling argument.

Interesting talk from Obsidian. Think I should pay homage to his station at some time too...

I bought in on the Premium beta package. So it cost me $150 american dollaroos. This was back in April 2014 I think.

Yeah, it would not be cheap. Back then it wasn't such a tough pill to swallow. And I was riding the hype train. Like I said though, I've never regretted it at all. I would advise everyone to just save up some money in a savings account till you have enough and then wait for the package to come on sale again. It would be less of a hassle then. Only problem would be waiting till then.
