It's only for preview members though right?
And apparently, Xbox gets a new mode before PC. That's a strange turn of events.

I don't think so, I'm not a preview member and I was able to see it on the store. It's on the bottom of the list under demos.
-
I know what I'm doing when I get home from work.
-
I believe so. I've d/l'd it anyway, had a quick blat on training. Did much better than at Eurogamer, shame David Braben wasnt there to see me 'git gud' XD
-
Elite:dangerous has been on my radar since I first found out it was coming to Xbox. As much as I will enjoy the combat in pretty sure I'll be taking trips to some real life celestial objects I find interesting. Also, maybe a trip to the center and a trip to the edge of the Galaxy.

Bounty hunting seems to be the best early source of credits. 20k for a half-arsed search. Took a haulage mission, got interdicted by an Imperial Courier and chased it off. If I had better guns I'd have whooped his arse and got his bounty, shame he got away... My plan is to be a bounty hunting space drifter :D
-
I'll do that until I get enough credits for a ship with a decent jump drive. Exploration is my main goal....until war breaks out. Then I want to take on a capital ship (and most likely fail)
-
Im being really original and eyeing up a Cobra lol. Cant wait for the kids to go to bed so I can get back out there!
-
Happy hunting. I don't know if I'll get a chance to dive in before it actually releases but if you come across a wayward traveller with a similar name to mine....don't shoot
-
Ah no, I intend to leave my fellow commanders alone. Unless they have a particularly juicy bounty and a crappy ship that is ;)
-
So out of curiosity, I'm assuming we can try the game and buy it now in its unfinished, possibly buggy version but it'll be cheaper. If I wait I'll have to pay full retail. I'm assuming it will be priced as any new game so the savings alone looks like a steal.
-
Yep. I paid £25, and theres a disclaimer warning that the game is currently unfinished. Notbrun into any bugs as of yet, though the frame rate gets a little choppy and it lags a bit when you go into Hyperdrive...
-
I'm currently downloading the free trial but will probably purchase it. I planned on it months ago and I don't see development stopping. I heard release to be around end of summer anyway so I might as well snag it while the price is low. Looks like I'll save approximately $30
-
Sensible PoA!
-
The flight controls are a little tough for me to learn. I'm hoping it gets easier
-
Yeah it is a little fiddly. For combat, slower is better (let your opponent zat about like a blue-arse fly, whilst you keep em in your sights) and gimballed weapons make your life much easier. I had to run the docking tutorial twice before I got the hang of it, I always overshoot my destinations, and it tooke forever to work out how to frame-shift and access the nav-panel LOL its fiddly for sure, but once you get it, its actually pretty well laid out. My only real gripe is having to flip back and forth between roll and yaw :/
-
Yeah. Finding how to access the ui panel took a minute and adjusting my speed to disengage hyperdrive I'm going too fast or too slow. I think practice will help for sure.
-
Im already debating whether or not to buy an Eagle. Less cargo space, slighty squishier when the shields are down, but space for 3 guns. Not bad for a measly 44k...
-
Maneuverability? I'm finishing up some training sessions but may start the actual game soon. I haven't even looked at the ships yet
-
Edited by Bieltan: 6/16/2015 2:01:57 PMDont remember. Its agile though. Just need the spare cash to outfit it properly with better shields and guns... Might see if theres any way to transfer my Beam Laser over, that'd save me some cash! EDIT: i did the combat training up to the Cobra, then skipped to launching, docking and travel :)
-
I did some wave fighting. Lost against a big ship. I'm jumping in now. Let's see how this goes. Docking is harder than combat
-
Aye docking is a proper PITA haha! Go into Supercruise and look for Unidentified Signal Sources etc. Good hunting!
-
Thanks. Same to you.
-
That's fair. Haha
