Flying a fighter while your ship provides heavy fire support is so drat fun. I don't like piloting big ships in combat that much but this is awesome. I just wish the Python could have a fighter bay. :smith:

My favorite 2.2 thing so far is how your ship auto-aligns to the star you're jumping to, though.

About to hop on the VR wagon. This is would be the main game I'm buying the headset for, and people say the Vive has the best head tracking. What's goonsensus on Rift vs Vive for E:D?

From what I've heard, the Rift is better due to the slightly sharper display. A friend has a Vive and while I haven't tried it myself, he has complained about the readability of the interface in Elite before, but I have no problem in the Rift.

Not sure about the tracking but again, no problems here.

I bought a Keelback and have been running passenger missions and it's real fun, especially with a fighter bay for taking down the occasional bounty.

I wish my Python could have a fighter bay. :(

If the focus of Elite was "fun" then you'd be able to slap a hanger bay into any ship with the internal space and then just poo poo them out the SRV doors.

But it's not so you can't.

Sorry, I don't subscribe to this "Frontier hates fun" idea that goons are obsessed with. I find the game loads of fun as is.

How accurately did I describe you when I was referring to the Faithful in their maxed out engineer upgraded exploracombatcondas?

If it's a python that still counts.

No idea, I generally skip over all the posts complaining about the game. I don't have any engineer upgrades if that answers your question.

What's the hotness for gaining Fed/Empire rep these days? I'm slowly working my way up to allied with passengers and data deliveries but I'm curious what other people do.

This video includes the getting ripped out of hyperspace part which looks pretty rad too:

Real talk: I'm excited to let newbies fly my fighters or man my turrets and help them get some cash money. Getting rid of the bounty split was long overdue.

I'm excited to jump in other people's ships just so I can take a bunch of sweet screenshots while they do stuff. I will be the most useless crew member.

Viper for most of the video, then a Fer-de-Lance and a Federal Corvette later on.
