I've never tried elite in VR but considering how I react when jumping into a close binary system I don't think I would survive in VR

Elite in VR is super awesome just because of the scale and the freedom to look around. Sound design doesn't hurt either.

I guess I'm weird too because I basically get out the VR headset for SRV runs almost exclusively. Being able to keep your eyes on the direction where that goddamn sensor reading is while your SRV is cartwheeling off of a cliff is fantastic.

John F Bennett posted:You like to dance close to the fire, don't you? Nah, it works quite well because it sets your max speed to about half your normal max, so even at 100% throttle you'll slow down - though not too quickly. Also, it stops you hitting the boost button by mistake.

I have had this since launch on PS4. I play it sort of like a mobile game... a mission or two a night, when I can. I don't have a ton of time. I'm steadily approaching a million credits. I know that's nothing, but it's still significant. I have an Adder, presently. Wondering if you have any advice on direction of play, bigger, badder, better things to acquire (ships/weapons, etc..)

Yep, the Cobra is an awesome ship. I have a billion creds and I spend most of my time in one  An alternative to the Cobra is the Viper 4 if you want something very similar but a bit better at combat.

You're getting to the point where you should decide what you like doing most (combat vs trading/missions vs exploring) and use that to inform which ship you get and how you outfit it. You're getting into tiers of ship that are specialized for some of those roles and will never be good at others. Also remember that you aren't required to sell your old ship when you buy a new one, you can put it in the garage instead and pull it out again later if you can cover the new one entirely out of pocket.

Thanks all. I have been doing fetch quests off the mission board and it's good money but not where my heart is at. I think Combat / Bounties with a side of cargo ferrying... probably where I would go.

I got my federal corvette and I really love it. The idea of engineering all the parts on it makes me want to die. I don't have many engineers unlocked and they seem like the biggest pain in the rear end.

Yeah, I finally got into engineering my 'vette as the last thing before I haul it out to Colonia (for mining primarily. The maddest of space madness  ). I hadn't touched engineering at all before that.At least engineer the FSD to get the range up.

I'm doing the same thing, just got out of the base ship to explore more. In my optional loadout I ditched the shields and loaded a landing assistant. I don't find landing to be too difficult, it's more just a pain in the add, very finicky. Should I lose it and what should I replace it with?

Humorously, the most annoying Engineer to unlock partly because of his system permit, Marco Quent, is currently getting even harder to unlock because angry players are putting his faction into retreat as a form of protest to Frontier. Oh wait, that's not funny. It makes me want to punch someone.

There's not many early ships where the docking computer isn't taking a vital internal slot. You also want to be able to land well enough that the computer is slower than you and doing it more is the only way to learn. I stick one on only when I'm doing something grindy that needs a lot of landing.

For the life of me, I can't do that thing where you rotate around your target to stay out of his line of fire. He always rotates as quick as me. I think "maybe I need to get closer", but then he just shoots me more.
