I read an article about them releasing an Elite Dangerous API so you can plug stuff into the game stats; someone replied in the discussion thread (regarding 10s of datapoints for every hyperspace jump and docking) 'But all this is just making it easier to do what successful pilots are already doing in their spreadsheets'

can you link the article? last i remember from frontier was explicitly asking people not to break up the game to extract data, which ended up with people manually mapping stars into spreadsheet to make a tool for pathfinding that does not have severe limitations

i started on excalibur, got a few levels in, and went back to jenova its so chill there

idk what it is maybe i have to remap the keys for movement or something but it just feels clumsy like
in tera you four way run by wasd and look around/turn/etc just by moving the mouse (which is why i can use the trackpoint and nobody notices)
the controller on ffxiv works the same way where kb/m is w for forward, a for sort of run left, d is for sort of run right, s is for slowly backstep and hold rmb to look around

nah, it's cool, fd devs are good in terms of frank posting. nice move from them to take reigns of getting the data from client, if they take most of reasonable suggestions

I just want the option of piping the complete L&R side ship info screens onto either separate monitors attached to my PC, or realtime 2-way chat with a tablet touchscreen App (or two of them) so I can build a super-cockpit :cool:

and it brings them cash, so, well done blizzard
besides that, while the argument i am going to make does not matter and lmao if you buy into early access/preorders (e: for free game), actual value of invite is a few dollars considering how much things cost in in-game store

do you still get your own little house with a moogle?

in ff11 between jobs i shamelessly spent a fuckton of time in that drat game, it was second to dark age of camelot in capturing that "this is a world that lives and breathes" (similar to UO and EQ)

idk about the moogle, for now i only have a hotel room but i think since my server's low rate i could buy myself a good sized house or just get a room in the guild mansion
