Now that bit I can confirm myself - got blown up last night and lost all my cartographic data, and all my unclaimed bounties. Probably not far off 100,000 credits worth altogether - which would have doubled my cash!

I'm sure it's been suggested before, but why don't we have a OcUK private group ?
We could meet up at know locations and drop cargo for new players to help them on their way etc.

I've got an Xbox One controller that I use but the actual control scheme seems messed up unless there's a better option?
Might pick up a cheap joystick then. I can tell I'm going to enjoy this game once I get the controls nailed!
I've been using this custom setup with the xbox 360 controller & find it better.
Seems to have most (if not all) functions you need on the controller.
Not sure if it works with xbox one controller or not
Have you got it set to game pad with yaw? That seems relatively intuitive to me as a basic setup:
Left stick for pitch and roll, right stick for yaw and vertical thrust.
The problem with it, and I assume what makes people like joysticks, is that you don't have great control over throttle (using trigger buttons), and no control over lateral thrusters at all without reaching to the keyboard.
Then you can amend individual controls yourself as you find what works for you.

Mortals beat me to a reply.
Interesting idea to use a button as a 'shift' to extend the amount of controls you have. Suspect it'd confuse the hell out of me though!
I have also considered swapping yaw and roll between the sticks. It's very easy when you're pitching heavily to roll unintentionally and completely change your direction of travel. Unintentional yaw wouldn't have anywhere near as severe an effect.

I have three shift buttons, for a stack of additional functions!!
Errrrrrrrrrrr...... pass.
I'd have thought installing it to the same location as the current launcher that Steam uses would just overwrite (I was chatting with the guy online and that's basically all he did, AFAIK), but can't say for certain myself.
Check the Support site/FAQ/forum, see what they say about it?

A bit odd...In the main game I do but not the Beta
There was another that sold everything - Beta Hydri, I think it was?
Not sure.
Failing that, I'd just look for High Tech systems in Empire space.

I am Elite in combat in the main game, so I have access to it but the 2.0 beta is so far behind, I am only 30% into deadly
Anyways, I did find one at Faust 68 and that also had a great selection of modules. I did a quick planetary landing and a drive around which I am now uploading the vids for those who are interested
I will certainly be buying both the Cutter and the Corvette in the main release. The Cutter is a slug but well worth it for trading (and that is my goal for Elite next) and the Corvette handles so well but not sold on the turrets placement but might just need some getting used to.
Vids will be up soon

- For the Beta 2 public test, Beagle 2 Landing in Asellus Primus star system also has all modules and ships available in stock
Btw if anyone wants to wing up, I'm in LHS 3505 farming Haz RES - the extra dps on Conda hulls would be appreciated (in a vulture running 2 pulse, so hull damage is a little lacking - only really noticable on the anacondas).
CMDR Meth3rlence - LHS 3505, around Olivas City.

A message I got regarding your issue bud.
Steam will not have the 2.0 yet and to be honest, I wouldn't bother with the Steam link either, as it just opens up the launcher.

I use a 360 pad on the PC, but whenever I go to assign anything to the 'Back' & 'Start' buttons in the options menu it never allows me to do so.

Beautiful ship.

Hovering over the buy button on Horizons now, is the £49.99 option really better than the £39.99 option, not bothered about beta testing or the Cobra 4 tbh...
Caporegime
That is down to you but Beta testing allows you to have a good play at 10% prices and see what is what without it affecting the main game. I believe you should get the discount price of £39.99 as you own the base game as well which comes with the Beta testing?
