It's funny on ED forums people seem to think immersion and building a consistent and semi plausible universe where you actually have to do some house keeping stuff means making a boring game.
I refuse to believe that we can't have our cake and eat it and have all of the above... And I applaud CIG if they attempt this

this , i like some depth when it comes to cake too

Beta release may not be everyone, it might be a few weeks public testing phase before full release.

No word on the PU release yet. not before then ^^^^

Cool, thanks

At least we have a more concrete date to look forward to - Although it was a little longer than I anticipated honestly...

I wonder whether this will change Elite Dangerous' plans for the future at all

Unlikely as they've already done so as part of Beyond Chapter 4. We'll know soon enough as in January they are meant to be announcing what the next paid for expansion is about, Season 4 'New Era'.

Its a "preliminary Live, still testing issues" there will be a 3.4.1 at some point soon.

Edit, the same message is also pinned in the PTU chat so i can post it here...

Canopy bug sounds amusing !

Mission clearing out the Pirate Scum, gun reload animations are fun, i don't tho know why as a hired bailiff with guns the auto turrets shoot at me, i guess they hacked them.

Its just annoying; up and down... up and down... up and down etc. Will try taking the helmet off during flight and see if its affecting the pressure in the ship!

Raumarik · 22 Dec 2018 at 18:13

^^ I'm not sure that's a good idea lol

BlizzardX · 22 Dec 2018 at 18:14

Its ok, I have insurance and it appears infinite lives!

Raumarik · 22 Dec 2018 at 18:21

oh yeah instant respawn.. just got to wish your ships are claimable where you are!

BlizzardX · 22 Dec 2018 at 18:26

It happens when QT'ing long distances so Huston <> Port Ollisar; although my Avenger's engine is now overheating in QT so that drops me out just before the Stanton sun normally from port ollisar; I got kicked out of the ship when QTing the other day too... just ended up floating in space looking all lonely.

Have been looking at grabbing SC or ED for the best part of 2018 but unsure which one to get, does SC have enough content to play casually (2-3 hours a night)?

I tried EVE: Online but that was just a grind fest mining rocks so quickly got bored.

Raumarik · 23 Dec 2018 at 14:38

No I'd still suggest getting Elite: Dangerous at this point. SC whilst getting there still has a long way to go before it's really got a gameplay cycle IMHO.

Having said that if you think you'll buy in regardless, this is the cheapest you'll get SC for a while: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Aurora-MR-Pack-Warbond-Holiday-2018

There is a mustang pack but it's sold out. Aurora is a cool little ship though.

SC isn't finished yet. ED is (or was) £9 for horizons and is a proper game rather than an early tech demo. I am biased with over 1500 hrs in elite but I love it . I would say buy elite now (in a sale) and get SC when it is out

(I have both as elite and wing commander/privateer/strike commander were such great titles I had to back both)

Hi
I have a quick question for all you guys following closely.
The squadron 42 which comes as a standalone for £50 ish.... Is this the same squadron 42 that I will get with my $65 (iirc) pledge from back in 2013 or is it the complete squadron 42?

Iirc my package comes with squadron 42 part 1 but not part 2 or 3.

I am just wondering if this is the case or if things have changed now?.... And what is it the standalone S42 comes with?

Thanks

DaleTheWhale · 23 Dec 2018 at 14:49

Thank you both, thought that might be the case after some of the video's I was watching last night (mainly SC).
SC does looks amazing and have been waiting for it to fully release just haven't been actively following it for sometime now.

Will grab ED and have a bash later today.

Assuming it is still under £10 it is a lot of game for the cash. Don't bother with the base game even at under a 5er
