Elite: Dangerous - OUT NOW!

[Adept]

Much better 

Playing area for beta opens up a lot. At least 50 systems.

[Adept]

One week to go until Beta. Happy, happy!

Hooray   I've been too busy to play much, but so far the Beta is utterly epic!

Here's some eye candy. A couple of Viper mk 3s on patrol

Adept, what is the expected release date?

Beta --> 60 euro
Pre-order for release --> 40 euro

If beta only lasts a few months it hardly seems worth the additional 20 euro.

My guess is 2 - 3 months of Beta now. Release is some time this year, and all progress will be wiped for release. Unless you fancy getting an early taste, just buy the on-release version flux

Okidoki.

Guess who just got the beta?

[/quote]awesome!

Is it Solarflux on the Forums and in-game? You need to put in a request for commander name. Andon or id3nt1ty can help with the details (I did it during the KS).


I also have this to share:

Cool Solarflux!

You can register your name by following the instructions here: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showpost.p ... ostcount=1

In game my name is Three, so feel free to add me as a friend!

Solarflux was already taken. So I made a request for the name Angelheart. For now it is Fluxxz. Will add you.

Btw, the silent running training mission is hard.

I know right! I never managed it with stealth. I just killed the Cobra!!!

[Solarflux]

So you killed all 4 ships? Somehow I can't manage to kill the first target.. I can sneak up, but it just turns around and finishes me off. Or I can go in shields up, guns blazing, but he has a lot more firepower so he finishes me after a while.

[id3nt1ty]

FA off helped a lot, as did just turning off sheilds. If the Cobra notices you, hit silent running then eject a heat sink and run away. I did it something like that anyway...

[Solarflux]

I have no problem running cool and avoiding detection while flying 500 meters from him. The problem lies in actually killing the thing. I start shooting, take off some shield.. Then it either turns to finish me or runs and recharges.

Edit: apparantly I tried to kill the cobra. Which I should not.
