*** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

No, I'd suggest watching the livestream for more information. Ice worlds are in, unsure what the situation is with volcanic ones at the moment, they are slated for the Horizons season but I've no idea if they will be there for release, planets with life need require an atmosphere so that is not going to happen this season.
 
I dont play this much to be honest but when I do I go to RES points just to admire the views lol I still get an annoying pause in them, though its much less frequent since the latest update.

some nice shots there mate, i must get back into this at some point soon. I played from the early Alpha builds and until the beginning of this summer, then took a break, but with planetary landings on the Horizon [he he] its starting to look more like what i wanted from the start.
 
There was a few games come out that made me put ED down and I was glad of the break, but glad to be back on it again. Powerplay and CQC are good additions and planetary landings will be the icing on the cake for me.

So grey, dead Lunar-like worlds are all we can expect to see in planetary exploration? What about frozen or volcanic worlds like the moons of Jupiter, ie something other than grey lifelessness.

The video is showing off the topology generation, textures and additional clutter on the surface as well as water surfaces will be used to change the types of planets.
 
Now I've only just run up the game and am starting to play. However what I did notice by chance is that when the game runs up it turns on my webcam. What's that all about??

You guys wear pants??.....

The next stage of my evil plan is developing now. I have started taking great pleasure in hanging around player populated systems with a £90k bounty onmy head, waiting to be interdicted.

This is of course goig to end in years when someone with a decent ship comes to annihilate me, but for the moment it's much fun wiping out cobras and vipers

Ohhh I imagine it will be a lot sooner than that....

Is trading just not profitable in comparison anymore? When I last played (which was absolutely months ago, I admit) I was running Palladium between two systems and was netting around £250k per round trip with a full 100T hold. I checked TradeDangerous last night and that same run is now netting about £100k less. I understand the Galaxy changes and trade ebbs and flows, but the only profitable thing I can really rely on is bounty hunting at a RES. The smuggling has been nerfed so I was late to that party (kitted out an ASP last night and jumped the 17 jumps to Sothis to discover that the missions weren't there anymore :( ) so it's back to bounties I guess. I stopped playing the game because bounties seemed to be the only good way of making money to get the better ships and it seems that in that respect, nothing has really changed. Am I wrong? Please tell me I'm wrong, I really want to find something else that's profitable and fun. It really needs to be on a par with bounties to make it feel worthwhile though. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Trading is the way I made my money but you just need to find a route that isn't popular. I had a great one before going to bounty hunting, which was literally a 10ly jump and both stations really close to the sun.

The beam lasers are what will take down the shields bud, so I would aim for a couple of beam lasers and the cannon to dish out damage when the shields are down.

Given the current payouts it's probably better to ignore Anaconda's and stick to killing more smaller ships in the same time I'd have thought.
