    Wing beacons are for your team wings to easier find you. You can also use it to easily stay with your friends once you start moving about.

    You can share your account with your friend without issues. As long as he/she is in South Africa. I am unsure of whether region restrictions apply. Can't imagine they do, but still your address and things get recorded on your account. So keep that in mind.

    *EDIT*

    Have an update. It seems to me like missions still time out. Although I mostly play CG missions, so I can understand that in that specific scenario.

    Other wise today is potentially the closed beta release for planetary landings. Has anyone seen the system specs? It's rather high. So maybe tonight or tomorrow I will upload some landing pics and such.

    System specifications for Planetary landings are as follows:

    Minimum:
    OS: Windows 7, Windows 8
    CPU: Quad Core CPU (4x 2GHz)
    RAM: 4GB RAM
    VIDEO: Nvidia GTX 260 / ATI 4870HD
    HDD: 7GB Available Space

    Recommended:
    OS: Windows 7, Windows 8
    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 3770K or better / AMD FX 4350 or better
    RAM: 8GB RAM
    VIDEO: Nvidia GTX 770 / ATI Radeon R9 280X
    HDD: 7GB Available Space

    Source: https://www.elitedangerous.com/#sys-req

    In some articles it mentions that the minimum is actually 6GB. Though I would just stick to what the official website states. If you would like to see some nice short videos about in-game footage, then you can see that here:

    Here are some of the better videos in my opinion:

    Never mind, the beta has been delayed for a couple of days. My guess is Friday again.

    Unfortunately that is quite an issue for me as my gaming time is unpredictable and can be interrupted after a few minutes and then I might only get time again a week or two later.

    This is why I wanted a game that I could play offline and pause and resume whenever.
    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!

    I can relate to that. We're all getting older and have families to take care of now. Not a lot of time for ourselves any more.

    Seems like I may have found my issue, further testing will ensue tonight.

    Took apart the base and and some Q20 on the moving parts. Seems to have helped by looking at the calibration screen.

    The guy who bought my flight stick also did something else to get the stick to respond better... although it involved a bit of taking it apart. I am unsure what he did though.

    Yeah, sorry I didn't read the last sentence about your joystick as it clearly hinted towards a mechanical problem.

    For what it's worth I contacted Madcatz after I had some issues with my joystick and they shipped me a "broken" one to salvage for parts. But I haven't been able to find anything wrong with it...

    It's slightly cheaper on Steam at the moment, R207. Isn't there some big expansion coming soon that will cost a lot extra though?

    You can change the currency on Frontier's store to USD and then it is cheaper there. ALSO it is not region locked at Frontier. Unlike Steam. This new region lock has messed me around so much. I can't even gift games to international friends any more. So steam can suck it.
