I see, dont think ill bother myself. I want to but i just know after a couple of jumps ill just quit for another 12 months.Ok, and just caught up with all the shenanigans on this, overall the mining is a improvement but the new FSS scanning system is pretty bad, I am amazed at cumbersome and clunky it is, more bad game design from FDev... which nicely brings me onto Fdev anncouncing no new content until mid 2020, now we all know this is going to be put back till late 2020 and not working correctly until 2021, so aside from the odd patch now and then the game is pretty much dead and running on life support. Its even been raise that ED will become EDII and that way they get around the lifetime passes.... time will tell.
Jumping at straws i do wonder why and the only conclusion (based on zero evidence ) is that we will be seeing a new VR headset in 2020 better than the current generation with ED being the showcase maybe
Spent more time watching videos on elite than actually playing elite, sad state of affairs so such a great IP.
As a beginner I'd say it's pretty rough nowadays. They nerfed some of the options that could net you enough cash for an asp explorer quite early and now it's a bit of a grind fest.I've always been tempted by this. Is it a sim? Can I pick up and play? Much depth?
I've tried eve but that was a bit ott for me.
Hmm ok. Doesn't sound too welcome. Thanks for the detailed reply. So is it an mmo? Do you see other players randomly? Pvp areas?

You cant really do anything competently in this game unless your in at least an asp ex.
Plus the bext big update is a year away so you can either wait and see what that's about or start now grind the asp knowing that when it does drop you should be set to engage the content in a half decent manner.
It's a sim like,its an absorbing experience but does ultimately lack motives mainly because questing is super generic and the world events dont really have much of an impact and there are not enough random encounters that are telegraphed (like there are huge battleships warping in to battles but it's down entirely to luck if you ever get to see good stuff like that)....but these are all things they have and still are working to improve.
But it is better than star citizen.
I came here to ask if this game was 'relatively' easy to get into as i bought it on a whim a year ago in a steam sale along with a Thrustmaster hotas(?) joystick - the above question has concerned me somewhat?Does ED still limit the max number of buttons that can be used on joysticks to 32?
