I'd at least give a big of dogfighting in the Eagle a go first to see if you like it. I have far more fun making money from getting the bounties from wanted ships at nav points (found near stars) and unknown signal sources than I did from trading. It's slower, but I'm playing the game for fun not to play space trucker. If you don't like it then sure, sell it, you can always just buy another.

Also to add here, extraction points can be loads of fun. Just watch out for those darn space cops.

I must prefer fighting, or even mining to trading tbh, more involving but trading is far, far more profitable especially if you can get on the rares bandwagon. Never done it myself.

Not that I can play, stuck at spinning ship since the latest patch

I had that - I re-installed the launcher and that solved it for me.

Solo mode is still in the same online universe, its just that you cant see other players, and they cant see you, so the economy, events etc are the same.

I use Solo mode, just to avoid any griefing, which can really spoil the experience.

Ahhh I see, thanks very much!

And concerning the selection of craft (since I a KS backer) where do you see the list of items that you have purhcased as a result of being a backer?)

Currently you only have the one profile so in order to see/select other start options you need to clear your save and start a new game. Menu>options>clear save.
 
Cavallino if they're "starter" options, no. The free Eagle however is always in the system you start in, regardless of which "starter" you pick I believe.

Done that, as have dozens of others, doesn't work for most people. some haven't been able to play since we his 2.0 gamma over a week ago.

A week?! Been like 2 days..
 
I've been having internet issues for the last few weeks,
If I lose my connection my ship vanishes right? so the only way It could cost me progress is if the it happened at a critical moment like docking.

How fast do you vanish? if its during docking where do you load back in?
I don't fancy loading in inside a station un approved to dock and bouncing around like a cat in a tumble dryer.
 
Still issues, have wiped character several times and keep getting dumped into the same station with the same mission.

Still can`t accept it.

Grrrr

If you log off outside of a station, where do you rematerialise?

Where the server last saw you, most likely actually quite a way out from the station in my experience. Similar to when coming out of supercruise, I think it just loads that instance again for you almost exactly as if you did just come out of SC.

In other news, I left it a bit late coming out of SC the other day and managed to somehow come out and instantly be bouncing off the outside of the station, spinning out of control as if flight assist was off...
 
Has this officially been released now? I have 3 monitors with 3 different resolutions can I span this over the 3? I've got 1200p 60hz, 1440p 144hz and 1600p60hz.

Thanks mate, is that early release or full release? I paid £100 or £200 a while ago for this game I don't need to buy anything else do I?
Click to expand...
It's the full release :) I'm not sure what you paid for but if you put that much behind it I'd assume you should get a copy of the game. I only entered as a beta backer so others here will probably be able to answer your question properly.
