I need a movie...

Kernel Kraut · April 09, 2015, 09:51:14 PM

I'm about to begin a long session of hauling shit around in Elite Dangerous. I have two monitors so I can have the game on my main monitor and a something on the other one.

There are some conditions though, so not just any movie will do.
Condition 1.) It has to be on Netflix
Condition 2.) No hard dramas. If it has drama, what ever, but pure dramas are out
Condition 3.) It has to be something that I can only pay partial attention to. Flying and landing a transport takes a lot of attention over staring at my right monitor.

So with those conditions in mind, any recommendations?

I would say Interstellar, but that'd require too much attention for what you're going for.

I don't think it's on Netflix, but you should watch Batman: The Movie. It has shark repellent.

Just put on Firefly. It's kind of appropriate.

Elite: Dangerous is great although a bit tedious for people w/ social lives. School's got me where I can't put as much time as i'd like into it. What's your rig and what're you flying?

Well classes just ended for Spring Break, so I have time.

Rig is nothing special. CPU is mediocre, but I am running a 660. Pretty stable FPS right now. Enjoying the hell out of it. Only got manageable FPS on my old 550ti.

But have my Logitech Extreme 3D pro for my flight setup, and Trackir because going without sucks.

Right now flying a Type 6 Transporter. Trying to grind out money for an ASP to compliment my Cobra.

My rig is basically the same. I'm thinking of setting up a dual joystick and racing pedal kind of thing for the hell of it.
Being so busy I've only made it up to an Adder so far.

ugh, I hated the Adder. I basically went straight to the Viper. Then to my Cobra. I love my Cobra, great ship. Good overall utility boat.

I looked at the adder as a explorer, but I just found it...meh.

I can get you a quick rare trade rout if you want. If you put in the effort you can make a quick buck for something better.

Altair, Solo Orbital has a good stock of a rare. Altarian skins. 140+ ly and you get a great price for them. I used Tolians since it's near my home system. Maybe 10 minute run from Altair to Tolains with a good FSD and there is some good money to be had.

I think max stock on it is 21t. That's some good money if you go far enough.

That's what I am doing now. Two systems, Super Conductors to one station, Resonating Seps back. 72t cargo hold, making like 60 grand a drop off.

But the rare goods are a good quick buck. As long as you are patient enough to fly out far to drop em' off.

How is Elite: Dangerous? I've heard it requires you to invest a fair bit of time and needs you to enjoy trading (which, I do) but i'll be getting it the moment it releases on X1.

Right now? Tedious. I've been flying between two systems for the past...half day now. Interdiction attempts have broken the monotony. Let's put it this way. I've watched almost all of Firefly since I started save for the first two episodes and the last one.

When I'm exploring or combat piloting, it's fucking fantastic. You have to be good at multi-tasking, especially in combat. You have to be able to balance power usage to what ever the situation requires and know when to bug out. It's a great game, a lot of fun if your into space. I enjoy the hell out of it. Why else would I be wasting the past day to earn enough for a ship I don't really need?

I must say that i'm not averse to repetitive shit if it feels fantastic doing so, i've played the fuck out of Star trader on my iPhone (and iPod, and my old Htc), on a phone.

Plus I really like the dev's philosophy, the guy is a legend. By the sounds of it he plans to continue with Elite: Dangerous for the next ten years or more, one day having it so that you can go down on planets and move around within larger ships in stations (think Star Citizen).
