It definitely sounds like a change for the better. But I'm still not gonna even consider buying any saitek poo poo until reviews come out and people use the logitech made stuff for a few months and their QA is proven to not be garbage anymore.

I just read it over at http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/%...ed-new-t16000m- quote:The T.16000M FCS HOTAS will be available in September, at a suggested retail price of $129.99. But yeah it sounds more like a rough estimate to be honest.

2.2 won't bring anything to the table that Star Citizen doesn't already have. Not to mention the star citizen hotas blows everything else out of the space water. Perhaps you people will understand one day. Even Kermit knows and sings Full Burn because of how much better it is than anything in E:D. He gets game development the way CIG intends it to be understood.

2.2 Beta dropping 20th, so give or take 2-3 weeks for going live i guess. Cause they actually do understand game development.

quote:If you already own horizons, or buy it now, you’ll be able to pick up beta access from the store for only £6.99 you will get beta access for 2.2, and all future updates in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons season of expansions. With Passenger gameplay, the Beluga Liner, ship transfer, new station interiors, route plotter improvements, and many quality of life improvements in 2.2 alone, now is a great time to get playing the beta and contribute to the future of the Elite Dangerous galaxy. I get that this isn't anything new, but that's the first time I've seen beta testing a patch straight up sold as DLC. Bravo!

wargames posted:brown sea is so worthless. I'm not disagreeing here, but betas are a nice tool to fiddle with ships that you might not have access to otherwise. Elite has a huge variance of "feel" to the different ships and cockpits, and it would really suck to grind 100 hours to get to a ship that you realize you can't stand because of seat placement. Sure, this scenario caters to pedants, but who of us here isn't one?

Elite betas are really fun because everything is super cheap and people are testing out lots of silly ship setups and fighting right outside stations and such.

It would have saved me going through many a hassle of upgrading weapons only to discard them after 15 minutes of actually shooting them.

Sky Shadowing posted:HOTAS X is great, I don't know why I would need a more advanced HOTAS. With using a button as a shift button I have more than enough buttons to do everything I want.  And because I have to complain about something every time I post. I went to Sol to see what our solar system looks like and was pretty disappointed to see that Moon looked WAY too small from Earth. Moon 2,159 miles across, and it is 238,900 miles away from Earf (roughly). That means it should be 0.516 degrees wide but it is a speck the size of Polaris when viewed from Earth. That makes me think that everything I see in this simulation is not at all like it would look in real life and if this owning-a-spaceship simulator doesn't even simulate what things would look like correctly, what is the point!

Blame consoles, Frontier had to sacrifice fidelity to fit their requirements. I don't know if that's actually true, but blame them anyway.

Have the developers mentioned an in-game hud color thing recently? I remember a Frontier rep saying it was a possibility a long, long time ago. I'm so sick of the god drat orange and the current solution makes the radar convey less info!

2.2 is dropping after they believe the beta has given them enough feedback. May 5th was when 2.1 was in beta. May 26th was when 2.1 was released to the public. November 30th 2015 was when Horizons started beta. It entered full release on December 15th. So, 2-3 weeks after beta starts? They don't like giving release dates. Engineers release threw off their entire 'release' estimate of Summer, Fall...
