You also did it a lot when TOTD was a regular.

We don't need to derail the thread though with this.

Eh that was a long time ago but yes I agree, let's not derail.

I've been playing since day one on PC. Horizons is filled with scum and it's fucking awful.

Excited to see what it'll include in about a year though.

Edit:
If you play on a console, go fucking kill yourself. That game deserves a HOTAS and voice attack. You're literally scum if you play on the consoles. You are the reason why PC Elite is actually delaying their patches.

God forbid not everyone has a decent PC.

Nobody cares if you don't have a decent PC. I don't care if you don't have a decent PC. If you can get a HOTAS to work on your Xbox One, I'll be happy. That and voice attack.


You will never get this.

Watching someone on pc have a tantrum because console players have a good game to play is hilarious.

Seriously, that's fucking unreal amounts of autism.

My PC would literally shit itself if I tried to play Elite Dangerous.

I can run it on high on my laptop at 60 fps absolutely no issue

It is empty space 90% of the time, after all

Pretty much this. It's empty space with hardly any graphically intensive stuff going on. Horizons+planet landings are frame killers though <.<

Just downloaded it and started the tutorials. The controls are insane...having roll tied to your mouse is stupid as hell.

K&M controls are piss, plug in a xbox controller if you don't have a flight stick.

Do you do the weird keyboard/controller combo? How do you manage to map all the keys to just a controller?

Set your Mouse X-axis to Yaw and keep Mouse Y-axis as-is. Bind A to Roll Left and D to Roll Right.

This is pretty much the optimal KB/M setup AFAIK. Just makes it so mouse movement controls pretty much the way it would in an FPS and A+D for Roll is a lot better. Be sure to set a bit of a deadzone too so you're not constantly drifting.

That's what I've got now. The final training mission is kicking my ass. Is the best way to turn around to roll and reverse thrust?

Keep your throttle in the blue area for the fastest turn rate. Press X to instantly set your throttle to zero and then hold S to increase your reverse thrust.

Just don't constantly hold W or S, it cruise controls at whatever thrust amount you leave it at.

So I completely suck at this. Do I just keep doing station missions until I get the hang of things? I've seen guides talking about going around and scanning signals, but I don't have a clue how to scan something, let alone how to actually navigate in supercruise without blowing past my target.

There are tutorials online if you know where to look. Missions from the bulletin board honestly suck for early-game cashola (even though they totally shouldn't).

Any tutorial in particular you can recommend? I have one up now and it basically starts by saying "go scan signals in nearby systems and sell the data every hour, and at 20k buy a mining laser and mine stuff". I don't even know how to scan signals or sell data. Whenever I get close to a signal in supercruise, I blow right past it, and if I drop to sublight it's too far away.

FML, damn board didn't even tell me you'd replied.

If I remember tomorrow I can link some tutorials that helped me if you still need some.

Nope, I'm good now. I still get annoyed by overshooting stations in supercruise even at the blue speed, but whatever. I've moved on to trading now, using Thrudd's. It's going alright so far.

It's a good game, but I wish  there was more to it than flying around and killing things. That's why I'm looking forward to the Star Citizen Beta Stage.

There's really not even much combat until you've slogged through enough mining and trading to afford a decent ship for bounty hunting or piracy.

Sorry for bumping, but this is the only ED discussion I've seen on here. What do you recommend doing around 10mil? I've mined, traded regular commodities, and now I'm running rares and doing missions that seem fun (nearby smuggling, mostly). I've never tried bounty hunting, but it doesn't seem very profitable. Currently in trading-spec'd Cobra.
