Maybe in the future they will allow actual base building to establish a meagre outpost far away from the bubble, then have this colonisation to nearby stars with the gal map blue line from that, and maybe this current blue line only colonisation is just them testing that. I imagine that establishing a base out on the sticks would have to be a mammoth undertaking to stop random bases popping up everywhere overnight. Anyway, I know this almost certainly is not what they will implement, but it would be what I'd do with the game. As it stands, gradually extending from the bubble only seems to be a bit of a waste of time.

it's true. I barely touch the on foot stuff due to not being in VR.
at least modern headsets are good enough quality so that it's ok playing the none VR.stuff in the headset

From my limited understanding of SCO drives, what does it mean for PvP piracy interdictions?

I think it makes it a lot harder unless the pirate has one as well. I will be honest it never crossed my mind to think about that as I don't do PvP in elite I play in a private PvE.group.

really? that sounds like a setting issue.
I currently play using a meta quest pro however I have put hrs into elite using a rift DK2, rift CV1, reverb G2,.quest 2 and now the pro
the pro and reverb G2 were definitely the best but none were terrible imo (ok admittedly I would not choose to go back to the DK2)
Hm maybe. It was a very brief test. I assumed everything would be maxed out as per the normal game.

vr has it's own settings, and you do need a strong set up for vr ultra (for instance I have an RTX 3090 and iirc I lower some of the settings from vr ultra. again iirc to run everything on vr ultra in all cases you are probably looking at needing a 4080 aor maybe a heavily over clocked 3090ti if you want to run at the quest 3 native resolution without needing space warp.
whilst tweaking settings make sure you are running wired not wireless and that your actual vr settings using the quest cable are appropriate for your pc and you are not trying to force too high a bit rate through the cable or are super sampling.
(I think it's oculus traytool to fiddle with those but best Google)
do your other pcvr games run ok (this will help rule out whether it's an elite game setting or a quest pcvr setting causing you issues)

You'll likely need to check the HMD Image Quality settings as a first point of call, it defaults to something terrible and looks awful IIRC. I use my Q3 and it looks great other than the poor black levels in comparison to the OG Rift, though more than makes up for it in resolution and then some.
