Elite Dangerous

Hey fellow BRPers. Based on comments in another thread, there are a few gamers that frequent this forum that play Elite Dangerous, or will be very soon. As I do not want to hijack that thread, I decided to start this one.

 

I'm currently puttering around the galaxy in a hauler. I'm sure there is a vast amount of galaxy between us, but maybe we can link up sometime.

 

Now, I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of time to play due to RQ: Classic Fantasy, but we can at least add each other to contacts/friends or whatever its called and see what happens.

PS - If any of you were flying a Viper and took out my eagle while I was bounty hunting during Beta 2. We cant be friends.  :P

I haven't started playing just yet but will look you up when I'm in.

I've loved Elite since I was a wee lad and have really looked forward to this reincarnation!

Its pretty awesome, the entire galaxy done at one-to-one scale. The graphics and sound design are unbelievable.

 

What I'm looking forward to the most is the planned expansions that will allow planetary landings, EVA, walking around space stations and the surface of planets, etc. We can all meet up in some seedy space bar or wretched hive of scum and villainy and talk BRP.

 

Oh, and there are already several Elite novels out and all are pretty good. I just finished "Docking is Difficult". Those that played previous versions of Elite can truly appreciate the title. Its pretty funny actually, kind of a Hitchhikers vibe.

Yup. I read that and some others awhile back. And Yes, a docking computer is as important as a navigation computer. At least in previous versions. I so wanted to back this and get a station named after me. :)

You mentioned an RPG based on this on the other thread. I actually designed my own awhile back based heavily on FASA Starship Combat Simulator. Great fun.

I can see a group of us sitting in some back water planet out in the black chatting CF. LOL

I really hope they make a tool for designing your own ship but that would probably have copyright issues since I'd totally have a Cylon Raider or Firefly class. :)

Hey Chris, let me know when you have a CMDR name and I'll add you to my Friend List.

 

I don't really have much in the way of time right now, but hopefully after this month is over I can play a couple times a week anyway.

I've also had problems making time to play....

I'm the proud father of four stinking, spoiled brats and they suck up a lot of time after 10 hours of work. :)

Ive been afraid to log on and get started Only to have to pause for some daddy-do or other.

That and I'm working on another MW project.

I'll get some time to myself and dig in, eventually...
