Anyone Else Playing Elite Dangerous?

[fitzsteve]

Hey folks,

Had a PM from a fellow Amibayer on the Elite Dangerous forums and we winged up last night on ED, was great fun and was wondering if anyone else here is playing. Was on sale over the holiday's so maybe picked up some new players and given the Amiga roots might find a few users here.

You can add me in game, Commander 'Fitzsteve' and I will invite you to my group

If you're a new player just starting out don't worry I can give you some tips and shadow you on your first missions. There's also Multicrew where you can join one of my ships.

See ya around.

Hi steve are you playing in VR ? seeing is believing with the oculus.

I bought elite & horizons for vr. Amazing. Only issue is my rig wasn’t fast enough for a stable vr experience

I haven’t logged since. Would love to tag along sometime but ive only logged about 4 hours just puttering around and driving around a moon so a complete novice.

Like my wow account ive no real time to dedicate to online play all my wow characters still at 60

Played it in the beginning. Haven't touched it in a year I think. I do have an Oculus now. But I'm way to bad at it so only playing it in single player So I guess I'll have to start again with the Oculus. Although I'm actually enjoying Dirt Rally in VR too much now

Hi ya, yes I have an Oculus DK2 but also play on the big screen TV and in 4k on my main PC, depending on how my mood takes me. If I'm exploring and taking screen shots then it has to be 4k! Combat is a VR must

Add me as a friend 'fitzsteve' and I'll invite you to the group, maybe we can wing up and catch some bounties or I can shadow you trading or something.

What sort of rig have you got? Planets are quite resource intensive but you should be fine in space. I play on VR Medium with an i7 3770, GTX970 & 16gb Ram with the DK2 and it's perfect in space but I notice it drops frames on planets and sometimes at stations.

I play mostly in private group/solo as I'm not interested in PVP. You can play as group without being in Open so no worries there. You don't need to reset your Save unless you want to, you can just carry on where you left off.

For VR I recommend a Joystick(HOTAS) or Controller as Keyboard & Mouse can be tricky in VR.

I can setup a Discord Server for us to chat if any of you use Discord? Otherwise there are comms in game and it's pretty cool as you get the radio chatter lol.

Evening all - I play as Cmdr Amimmortal.

I've had it since day one, and have the Horizon's season pass (no VR unfortunately). Updated it last night so planning to have a wee play this weekend.

I'll look you up

I'll keep that in my mind, sounds cool, but I've so much other stuff, no idea when I'll revisit the game again.
