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

You don't have to but it is certainly easier to find them there, any system that has metallic rings should have a selection of RES, I've no idea what causes them to be hazardous.

There is no system security in them, so basically a free for all.

Are are servers down?

Yeh, I know that, what I meant was I've no idea what conditions cause a RES to become hazardous rather than high intensity in the first place and yes, the servers are having issues :(

Ok... I tried... I really tried... I so want to love this game....

But everytime I do a mission to blow up some pirates or bounty hunters etc, I seem to just spend my entire evening looking for them in signal sources....

And I found myself just nodding off between searching for them....

Im getting so ticked off with this.. :(

I can understand and a break isn't a bad thing and even me, the most stanch ED player has a break from time to time. Go play other games for a bit and when you are sat there thinking "bored need something", fire it up again and see.

I took a break for about 2 months as I couldn't earn enough money.. kept swapping between an A spec Asp and combat Vulture for trading/fighting then the smuggling missions came up and I played non stop and it rekindled my love. Just bought an x52 Pro to replace my Hotas X and a head tracker so I can enjoy it even more! :D :D

I'm intrigued about ehy you think the headtracker could be eplaced by a better joystick...
 
I have the headtracker, but honestly, I think sometimes it just gets in the way of the experience of the game...

Man.. I really want to get into this but just so many barriers.

Is it new to you? They can certainly take a little getting used to before they become second nature and then you'll wonder how you ever played without one :)

That said, Elite doesn't really need one, it is nice though :)

No no Ive been using it a little while...

It is good, but sometimes it just feels a little "artificial" and makes my neck a little sore having to control the angle of view etc... (I.e not true a la Oculus type virtual cockpit - which it isn't trying to be of course :))
 
Hmmmm... have you tried different settings? I found using any sort of curve in the responses felt really odd and eventually settled on a completely linear response which I find much more natural.

You are basically finding out what Elite Dangerous Dullness is all about I'm afraid. I am an early alpha backer and I really wanted Elite to match what the devs promised but it clearly hasn't. In fact they are now my officially least trusted developer. When they dropped the promised SP mode I tried and failed to get a refund. I tested the grind in alpha and beta for almost a year in the vain hope that someday it would have a decent immersive SP experience. That the USS and mind numbing star system shuffle were just place holders. I deluded myself into thinking it will all come good when the real game is released but the grind just got worse and worse.

I come back now and again in some vain hope it gotten better, a few hours in I can't take the grind anymore. I already have a day job I need to grind, no need to do it in my spare time. :rolleyes:

Its the Smooth setting which I set it to I believe.

Don't get me wrong the performance is ok but just doesn't feel... well natural? (for a want of a better word?)

Sigh... you just hit the nail on the head for me there bud. That's exactly how I feel.

I want to come back home and enjoy a game... not grind it out like a chore...

I really do not want to admit it since Elite has a special place in my heart, but at the same time, I can relate to what you are saying....

I mean is it simply because we are getting older?

Elite 2 was a superb game... but key words following after this sentence should be "back in the day", for it was essentially no different to what Dangerous is today (under the shine)....

I don't know, really don't know... I tried CQC, good fun, but....

Horizons.... just don't know....
