    So, I threw a bit of a temper tantrum this morning, but after taking all the sage advice, I've managed to make enough money to buy a Viper. I get it now. All of a sudden the game is fun again.

    Mine is busy downloading to the Xbone. Maybe start up a party chat some time, I'll also try get XBL so we can Wing it.

    Yeah absolutely, all of the mechanisms required to make it fun should be in the game itself, or should be up to me to discover or find out for myself. I stopped playing dota because everybody expected me to play the recipe, and if you dare stray from the recipe you get the stick for the next 45 minutes.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    Yeah, and as with real life, I'm not that great with markets and knowing when/where to sell/buy and thus often make a loss at the destination or a marginal profit. But I love it that way, I love finding out the little tricks of the trade and nuances of the game.


    Finally got into Sol last night, nothing spectacular to be honest, but at least I got to see Earth And a motherfsking huge Capital Ship. Starting to battle to find missions though at most outposts/stations, as my Viper is specced for bounty hunting every bulletin board shows Available but Unobtainable missions as they're all mostly courier/smuggling/etc.

    That's part of the challenge though, and when you overcome it you know that it's through your own skills and labour and not from just reading up on the best trade route on some site along with thousands of other people.

    I think I stopped playing at Sol, I was also quite whelmed when I saw Sol. I was expecting it to look amazing, but it just didn't match my expectations.

    The problem is that if I had to rely on only in-game tools, I might be able to afford my Anaconda in 2025.

    Yeah same, and I'm kinda okay with that. I'm only now (soon) going to afford my Asp Scout/Explorer (still to decide) or contemplating a Keelback.

    Though I do have a complete A specced Eagle and Viper mkIII.

    I'm telling you you're wasting your money on the Scout. Cobra is still the better option there till you can scratch together the 10mil for an Explorer

    I've just got the game. Only played about an hour. Just wondering if I'm missing out on anything by only having the base game?

    Still finding my feet though, kind of still feel a little lost. How do you find missions, do you randomly go from station to station until you find ones that are available for you? Also getting use to the controls, so many buttons.

    The only thing you're really missing is planetary landing and the ability to use an SRV. Frankly I think the base game is worth it's now asking price, ~R250 I think you would have paid?


    Be sure to check out previous post from yesterday. Hammer was also having a hard time getting bearings and what to do.
