Elite: Dangerous

[Blooddawn1942]

Yep. By now only on Device can be used.

Ah ok. 

Annoying is, that I need to plug the pedals out. The Throttle Quadrant don´t causes any trouble. 

I have just another question: What is the effect of the three options under the "Yaw into roll" command in the options menu?

 

I don´t get it, sorry for asking a dump question.

[Blooddawn1942]

Been through the first couple of missions. I´m impressed! I guess there is really much potential in this game!!!!

Alpha 4 is out!!!

 

Many players are steaming now. The Galactic map is amazing!

 

This is one of the first video about the new Hyperspace jump.

I want it very very bad... but I can only justify one expensive pre-release purchase...

 

It looks so awesome though!

Us unlucky Premium Beta Bastards have to wait for another 14 days.....Aaargh!!

[6S.Manu]

I know 

 

But at least we can spend 120€ on something else (Steam Summer Sale is coming). And probably the Beta is not going to crash frequently like this Alpha.

Between the screenshots you can see the Eagle's and Anaconda's cockpits.

Two weeks, be sure!

 

 

 

 

 

Cant wait:)

I have to move on the 30th of this month, so might be a tad behind on getting into the Premium Beta, however it will be a larger desk and the computer will be out of direct sunlight . TrackIR hates light hitting its sensors!

 

Its a great game so far, I love the hyperspace effects and also super-cruise, although some people have complained it takes too long I think its about right.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Looks interesting. Seems like a must buy

[DD_fruitbat]

After sitting watching lots of youtube vids today of the latest alpha version, my excitment level has just been ratcheted up several degrees, i am so looking forward to the 30th, and it is more than compensating my disapointment in bos at the current time, which i have pretty much ditched already.

[Blooddawn1942]

Thats gonna be a busy weekend. Star Citizens Dogfightmodul to be released on 29. and Elie beta on 30.

Will Track IR work properly in beta stage? In alpha 1, which I only have access to, it don't work...

Sure it works! 

 

You can also use multiple controller devices.

Yes, I heard it should work. But am I right that in Alpha 1 it don't work properly? Because my view does the wildest thing like wandering out of center and reversed yaw axis..

You're right. Those are the problem with TIR in A1.1, IIRC (I tried only once)

New update

[steppenwolf]

[DD_bongodriver]

Never played the original or even knew anything about the legend of elite but feel exactly the same, this and the rift will mean I will never bee seen again, my skeletal remains will be found in my gaming chair.

[Bando]

LOL Bongo.

I felt the same (still do).

[FlatSpinMan]

This looks majestic. I like the message from the maker, too. Seemed genuinely appreciative of the support and also really excited by what they have achieved.

[FlatSpinMan]

Whoa! $150 for Premium Beta access!! Hadn't been paying attention to the pricing details till just now. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.

[DD_fruitbat]

Does include every future add on expansion for free, longterm it will be a bargin.

[DD_Crash]

The duration of the Premium Beta is unknown but it could last a couple of months so you could be in for a bit of a wait for the beta or gamma release.

[Panzerlang]

It's bloody 'dangerous' alright. I played the original for months until a bug marooned me on a planet (it wouldn't allow me to take off). The 'danger' is getting sucked back in and vanishing forever from WW2. Must...resist...

I know the feeling, and I couldn't resist. I just ponied up for the premium Beta. 

 

The wait is absolutely killing me!

[Feathered_IV]

Looks good. Is the player able to get up and move about inside or outside their ship? Traveling tens of light years stuck in the same seat without so much as a swivel could get a bit old after a time.

[JughedJughedJones]

Getting out of your cockpit is going to be, most likely, the first expansion. Followed by planetary landings. The ships are already setup with multi-crewed bridges and the like.

 

It's really incredible what they've done in such a short amount of time.

 

Edit: looking at what The head developer has said recently, I could see moving around the ship being available at or soon after launch, probably before a full expansion.

Elite Dangerous: Voice Attack commands, Alpha 4.3 (Cobra MkIII)

 

It's interesting but I'm going to use it since I'll be in TS for most of the time.

Edited May 28, 2014 by 6S.Manu

[DD_bongodriver]

Maybe set TS up on a press to talk button that disables voice commands as chat.

[Panzerlang]

With planetary landings, ability to go walkabout and the Rift, this game is going to be a recipe for malnutrition and bedsores.

[=LD=dhyran]

i gonna trade my first goods this friday ...... yay

[DD_fruitbat]

i gonna trade my first goods this friday ...... yay

Me too. And also crash into a space station no doubt!

 

Cant wait.

[6S.Manu]

And also crash into a space station no doubt!

 

Surely I'll crash against someone's ship entering into the station: the game/community is tagged UK, so there'll be some misunderstanding about the right of way.

You can now change or get a new commander name

 

 

Hi everyone,

As most of you probably know, at the beginning of this week we opened up the facility for all alpha and premium beta players to finally change their commander names, through https://support.orerve.net/.'>https://support.orerve.net/. Well today we attempted a batch update of names for the first time, and it turns out a nasty Trumble may have got stuck in the works... :o

The result of this is that any name requests that have been made through orerve.net this week have sadly been lost, and will need to be resubmitted. We're extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused by this, and will busy ourselves with approving all of your commander names in preparation for the beta!

The process for submitting your commander name is the same as before:

1.    Login at: https://support.orerve.net/
2.    Navigate to the ‘COMMANDER PROFILE’ tab
3.    Enter your desired new commander name in the ‘Request a New Name’ field and press the ‘Request Name Change’ button.
4.    If this is approved it will update the commander name at the top of the page.
5.    If it is automatically denied a red message will appear above the field, stating the reason for the rejection.
6.    If it is manually denied the player will receive an email telling them that their name has been rejected, once the batch update is complete.



If you have any questions feel free to pitch them below, and sorry again!

The point about getting future DLC is a good one. I've never actually played a game with that so I've just sort of assumed the game would be complete, like they all used to be (it already looks like it'll have tons of content, btw, I'm not saying it's a weak offering). I guess the DLC costs add up.

Still thinking.
