I'm jealous though. I've been upgrading one piece at a time so I haven't looked at a big pile of shiny new stuff in years.

I really didn't. The prices for most of the stuff hardly changed. The i5 went up by 10 bucks. That was it.

I calculated a couple hundred bucks in discounts and rebates for me. You have to mail poo poo in though.

It's very much a niche game so this is subjective, but yes I'd say it's worth getting.

I can't speak for the multiplayer aspects, I play solo.

Edit: Goons are bitching that they can't prey on people who have no chance of fighting back pirate how they want so there's that.

I just want to shoot spaceships in space I don't care who or what is driving it. Unfortunately bounty hunting and piracy both pay like poo poo in Elite and I don't want to be a garbage truck driver :colbert:

You know, goons are some whiny bitches, but you gotta admit: it would be pretty rad if somebody made a game that was essentially Silent Hunter III in Space.

Silent Hunter is the poo poo. There is nothing like the feeling of dread when depth charges explode all around you as you listen to the metal creaking from the emergency dive and change in pressure.

Also, I really enjoy surfacing and slowly destroying merchant vessels with the deck gun.

Alright I'm stuck. 24-pin connector is hooked up from PSU to mobo. Video card has power running from it to the PCI-E slots on the PSU. Ram installed, heatsink, cpu, everything. PSU is on with an HDMI cable plugged into a monitor. Shorting the power pins gets no response. What am I missing?

You said 24-pin PSU to mobo and PSU to video card. What about the 8-pin PSU to mobo?

sometimes it's easy to not fully seat the ram sticks, check those again.
thinking it's something power supply related, like a hidden switch on the side of the PSU you need to hit.

it may be defaulting to the embedded intel gpu.
aka switch the hdmi cable to intel gpu, go to bios, disable intel gpu, power down, reconnect hdmi cable to nvidia videocard.

Tried this. PSU turns on then off. Dunno if it's being finicky or there's something else.
