You currently have access to the premium beta which is the combat model only. We will be getting access to the whole thing may 30. Until then, fly and learn!
 
I have gone Alpha access now as couldnt sit and watch all the videos of the docking in station etc and so far loving it even in its early state, yes there is some bugs but hey its Alpha and for me plays very very well.
Still adjusting my X52 settings but have to say even now what a difference it has made to my game play :)

I wish I could with my joystick, I just can't seem to get the game to accept its existence.

Use the mouse :p Once you get it set up right, its surprisingly easy with a mouse... then again I've spent a silly amount of time playing Freelancer with a mouse and keyboard :)

I've decided to wait for the X55 to come out to see what that's like, and although I'd like a Rift DK2, I don't know if its worth getting. I read recently that they may release a low spec (although higher spec than the DK2) consumer version this year.

Does anyone know... if i ordered a Rift now, when approximately I would get it? I heard they ship July but, by now there must be an insanely long queue!
 
Yeah its a bit too pricey for me. I've finished the single player missions though but I still keep going back to it.
Just tried the stealth mission again... except i took out the merc in his cobra first :)

Dusted off and using a Saitek Cyborg Evo & voice attack. The voice attack is suprisingly good.

I have been setting up voice attack and found it very good indeed, using it for -
Landing gear
lights
heat sink
cargo scoop
pause - for pause menu
silent running
frames per second

very useful so far alongside the X52.
 
It's a program that allows you to turn voice commands into key binds. You say "Deploy weapons" it deploys the weapons ingame. Really good if you have limited buttons on your joystick set up. It's got a 21 day "try before you buy" but it's only like $8, I've only used to for a day or so, but it's a very promising add on to ED.
 
That actually does sound really good, especially with this game with so many options.

dual joystick, track ir and voice control.

All you need now is a force feed back chair. And replace track ir when a decent oculus comes out.

Very similar to my config. The alpha 1.1 is pretty limited, but it's really whetted my appetite. Can't wait to get to get stuck into the beta on 30th May.
