Elite: Dangerous

[Tamas]

BTW you know we could form a group so we will play in the same instance, away from the public. We would never ever meet in such a huge world, but it would be kinda cool if we did by accident.

No wipe at launch.

But I kinda screwed up my Hauler so I am going to restart tonight anyway.

I stopped playing ten days ago because I was expecting a wipe for sure.

About the Languish Group, it's ok for me; how does it work?

L.

[Tamas]

No idea, I will check it out later.

[Bluebook]

I love this game. They have actually managed to port the old Elite-feeling to todays computers.

[Bluebook]

Im Bluebook in the game by the way, in case you should ever come across me...

I'm in as Arkestra Leon, flying a Viper around blowing pirates up about 40 lightyears away from Earth.

A Languish wing sounds like a good idea.

Edit: I've set up a group for Languish commanders to join - I think it should be under my name above.

37 days since I asked for a refund. I told them in the original ticket that while I was aware that there was an online single player mode, I wasn't interested in it, because I wanted to play offline single player.

First I was asked to be patient.

Then they asked me if I was sure about the refund, and did I know there was an online single player mode available?

I replied that I was aware of it, as I had originally said in my ticket. I also outlined that I was looking for the offline mode because my play time can be erratic, and I don't want my character messed up because I didn't respond to an in-game development in time but rather a game that I can pick up where I left it off.

This whole time I've been friendly and courteous in my tone.

On Dec 8th I was asked to be patient due to the high volume of support requests.

Nothing since then.

I checked back yesterday and added a new note to my ticket, asking for an update. I also noticed that they have a *new* support system, and so I have no idea if my old ticket carried over into that. At any rate, I can't see my old ticket in the new system, so just in case I open a new ticket there with the previous communication attached and a reference to the old ticket.

According to the last pages of this thread I'm not the only one who has yet to get a decision from Frontier, 30+ days after opening a ticket. And even in cases where they offered a refund, people are still waiting for it more than a week or two later.

I'm gonna give it till end of next week, then give them a last opportunity to sort this out before going through the PayPal reclaiming process (done it before with good success).

I am back to Hungary for the holidays, and I have made two discoveries about the game here:

1. Connecting my Saitek X52 to it, the difference to combat (compared to a gamepad) is amazing. A totally different game.

2. Since I have only been at the computer at very irregular and short intervals, I haven't really felt like firing the game up: I have been making most of my in-game money via missions, and comitting to the real-time clocks on those felt like a drag when I could be standing up from the game on a moment's notice. So yeah, no offline SP is an issue.

But, I am planning to fit my X52 into my luggage and bringing it with me to England for a proper go at the game.

[CountDeMoney]

Do they have presets in the game for the X52?

[Tamas]

Do they have presets in the game for the X52?

Yes

[Razgovory]

So how is it?

[Grey Fox]

Any of you guys have tried Starpoint Gemini 2? Looking at it, offline SP only.

It's on sale at 50% on Steam.

[Bluebook]

So how is it?

Like Elite.. I cannot stop playing

[DontSayBanana]

Thinking of picking this up within the next few weeks- seems EVE-ish without the subscription or insane amounts of concentration on skill building.  Fair assessment?

Also, my HOTAS is a Thrustmaster T.Flight.  Are there enough combined controls for that to be worth it, or should I be thinking about flogging the T.Flight and trading up to at least an X52?

[Josquius]

I'm waiting until someone hacks it so I can play a proper offline SP.
It will happen sooner or later- it did with Spore, Sim City, and every other game that tried this online only crap.
