It's because Saitek's quality is a tossup as to whether you'll get a good stick or a "forced to RMA" pile.

I'll have to come up with new ideas for a multirole gently caress-around ship... something that can haul a rover, big jump range, decent cargo space and combat capabilities. I'm guessing the Asp is the best suited... it's the only one with enough internals to fit all the stuff I'd want (AFM, rover, 16+ cargo space, fuel scoop) and still be able to somehow fight and jump decent distances. Or the good ol' Cobra mk III ...

100% Metal indeed. Thanks man, hope you liked the payoff! If you are feeling frisky, there's the bright O-star in the middle of the Spirograph Nebula. But everything and I mean EVERYTHING in that system is bright beautiful blue. Oh here it is!  Landable and blue and RINGS.

If this is for that beam/cannon Vulture loadout you mentioned earlier, I'd keep the cannon because with a railgun you'd have two high-heat weapons, plus I'm willing to bet a C3 cannon does more damage than a C2 railgun (I don't think there are C3 railguns).

So I finally figured out how points of interest work. Basically just fly above the surface of a planet, not in orbital cruise, and not in glide mode, just fly. I tend to have more luck at higher altitudes above around 5KM, but eventually a dark blue circle will appear on your radar. As you get closer to it, it will shrink, and you want to land in that circle and deploy your SRV. Then something will appear on the SRV's wave scanner.

I've played some of the game today, and blew up my ship after running out of fuel cause I didn't pay attention. Game's pretty fun so far, and every time I come out of a jump I'm surprised by the star in front of me. Guess I should join goon stuff now.

If there's anything the 1.5 beta taught me it's that I'm a better shot with rails if my Rail Viper is a MkIV, not a MkIII. So, woo! More internals means I've got a new mission runner! I think I might even mothball the SHINY AND CHROME Vulture for a while, because the Viper (both styles) is just too much fun.

Somehow, I had an entire Python disappear whilst exploring a moon. The ship was landed very close to a stationary base (not trespassing). The moon rover seems a bit buggy. What is the projected release date of 2.0? I think it needs quite a bit more refinement.

Flew out at penniless, and the next time I went back to Robigo I had merchant from that one run, and was able to make several times the payout. Just had to mission scum for a bit longer to get stuff at penniless. Ymmv though. I assume Robigo has been nerfed?

Hey y'all, I've been playing Elite since it was on the C64 and am loving the Xbone port of the newest game. This is going to totally sound like a singles ad, but if you are on XBL and would like to cruise around with me in Elite - or do your own thing, whatever, friend me up at DrTed77.

Cool  Also the changes are me having been away for a long time and poo poo paying out a whole hell of a lot more now  It's fun baiting big ships into fighting me with my Space Poultry bros ready to pounce on 'em. Although an Anaconda almost wasted me so I had to hide around asteroids then swoop in at the final stretch and pelt it with a few cannon rounds to get the kill credit. I mean, my ship is a Vulture after all. Gotta play to that namesake.

Well it looks like my poo poo laptop has finally met its match with Horizons I've been letting the beta load for 15 minutes and the only thing up for the game's main menu is the "training" button. It was only a matter of time, really. I guess I'll have to start saving for a new rig in the future.

Having seen screenshots of the Cobra IV's setup, its not a bad ship I guess. But I can't get excited over it. Its just too slow compared to the original (200/300 speed/boost vs the Mk3's 280/400). I'd have gladly traded one of those extra class 4s and maybe one of the class 3s to retain the Mk 3 Cobra's speed. I could live with the lesser maneuverability, but I gotta go fast. Guess I always saw the Cobra as a space hot-rod.

I spent my evening driving around random planets, stopping to shoot up the occasional hostile base. It's fun to use the SRV booster to pop up over a crest, open fire on a turret, and then fall back behind cover. Vroom vroom vroom.

Horizons with the RIft is one hell of a drug  . Side effects may include vomiting when planets decide to lag you the gently caress out.Though it seems 1.5 removed support for recentering the viewpoint. E: ^ What are those, probe droids?

What control setup is everyone using for the space jalopy? Nice attention to detail as usual. The transition between radar and surface projection when you fly close to the surface is sweet.
