Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Agree 100%, I just spent half an hour running around in my SRV, didn't find anything (where are those minerals you supposedly gather to repairs / refuel / craft ammo? Is there a trick to finding stuff planetside?) and had an absolute blast.

Aside, how do you aim with a hotas? Seems like the guns are fixed only but I read somewhere they're actually turret mounted

Were you using that wave scanner on your HUD? That thing is what you use to find resources. It is a passive, always-on scanner that covers the 45 (or so) degree arc your buggy is facing, you just drive towards poo poo on it and the bar slowly narrows as you get closer, once you get close enough, stuff becomes targetable.

I hope they introduce a few other SRV types within a decent time frame.

Yeah, your ship automatically departs into orbit if you drive more than 2 kilometers away from it.

Has "any hair longer than a buzz cut" gone the way of the dodo in the future or something?

They're probably working on the hair physics or something. :v:

Also, red suits but not blue? Deplorable. :colbert: Also, I can't wait to buy pilot suit customization from the Elite store (only half sarcastic) including these sweet jackets and some pants to cover my space PJs:

Man I just keep on slamming my Cobra into planets :doh: This thing really needs a computer voice to yell the Terrain alarm at me

I'd settle for a HUD indicator of your current path of travel. Modern aircraft have them, I forget the technical term.

OK space trucking can be pretty drat relaxing. What early ship should I be gunning for if I want to be a full time space trucker?

Probably Hauler/Adder -> Cobra Mk3 -> Lakon Type-6 -> Imperial Cutter (Clipper? I can't even remember now, the smaller one).

Nope, Type-7 is a larger hull because its too tall to fit inside medium hangars.

Yeah, those ground defense guns have punch. Pretty sure they're the same kind of turrets mounted on orbital stations and capital ships.

lol if you think the Asp has a bad cockpit. Love that trademark Lakon visibility. You can keep your zorgon peterson crapsack view.

Just crashed ships so far. Frontier have been doing some ARG mystery things, and the next step is probably a live one.

Crashed Thargoid ships? [edit] Just looked up screenshots and huh... for some reason I was expecting something a lot more... polygonal for some stupid reason.

Apple Craft posted:

Frontier has used such a slow burn on this that I don't really think the end result will be good. It's either, "holy poo poo the Thargoids are here and I'm getting killed every 30 seconds." or "what a waste of time, they just added Thargoid engineers."

Holy poo poo, though. Thargoid engineers.

Yeah, I kept expecting these grand events in the past and it just peters out to nothing. EG: "Oh man the Emperor is dead, there is gonna be a civil waaaaaa.... oh I guess not."

Does sharing parks with friends and your friends' avatars showing up as park guests count?

All Pilots Federation members get free weekend passes to Planet Coaster, which, in the Elite Universe, is litteraly a planetary theme park.

Sadly I'm making that up. Giving all Elite owners on Steam a free weekend would be a pretty cool move through.

Wait, Thargoids are in? :stare:

Man, now I might have to actually play this dumb game. But I haven't touched it since before The Engineers update, so it feels like it might be too much :effort:

They're not going to be interactable (e.g. shootable) for months.

All I've ever wanted from this game was to shoot thargoids. :smith:

I'm surprised people still get upset about Solo mode.

Solo Mode is a good thing BTW.
