Bamber Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 As can be seen in the signature am backing the new Elite Been playing the Alpha Testing (alpha 3,2) for a few weeks now and is it living up to the Hype Some quite annoying issue at the moment with the multiplayer game which is causing quite a few crashes seems to be a cheat loop hole that people are exploiting where you can sell all your weapons crash the ship and start with a new armed ship and sell again I mention it cause the two seem linked as people are entering selling dying entering selling dying and so on Have to say what a game is in development here and it will be cracking, gameplay is as good as ever but graphics are up a new level, and docking inside a space port - woo hoo!

SheepieBaaBaa Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Nice Cobra MKII ... only problem I'm finding with the alpha test is the joystick not really mapping properly. Looks like it will be epic though. Looking forward to the Beta test. Link to comment

granite sheep Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Never really played the original, but did give the sequel Frontier a good go, my ship of choice was the Viper, if it was good enough for the Galactic po-po, it was good enough for me, till I got hold of an Imperial Courier (the ship from the intro movie) . However, combat in that game was shit unless you got up against one of the big boys, it usually devolved into :1- See and click on enemy ship2- Lock on enemy ship3- Hold down fire lasers button4- Speed up time by x105- Next enemy. It had better be full of proper dogfighting, about the best example would be from Ace Combat Assault Horizon, ok Dogfighting Mode may have been a glorified quicktime event, but surely it could be beefed up a bit for space dogfighting?

tightbreeks Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 did anyone manage to become elite? I did, 32 or 36 right ons, bbc version. geek wank. sandbox gaming at its finest. it's amazing to think they only had 32k. 7? galaxies, hundreds of planets in each. narcotics, slaves, police vipers, incoming missile!!! hit the e button, damn you raxxla...

Admin Bebo Posted March 27, 2014 Admin Share Posted March 27, 2014 Here's a video i uploaded of docking. Fairly easy docking manually - found it much harder when i played the original. 1 Link to comment

Ke1t Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Never reached Elite... though I did run a couple of the very few missions coded into the game, The one that stood out was the refugee escape from the station around a sun that was going nova. As you launched out of the station with the cargo of refugees you actually saw the sun expanding, and if you didn't jump straight away you were toast I was more a Lords of Midnight kiddy myself.

tightbreeks Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 these games had more atmosphere than half the new next gen stuff. beeps and buzzes and a few pixels are all you need. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 When I first saw the videos of the new docking... I gave a giddy little yelp for joy. The game looks and - importantly - sounds amazing. Very meaty full sounds. Yours was the first vid I've seen of docking with a Cobra as well. Every other one was Sidewinder and it seems like the sounds the ships make are subtly different too. Didn't sign up (or did... then pulled out) to the Kickstarter but I'd never have paid the Alpha access Kickstarter pledge price anyway so I'll just get it when it's released or maybe pay a bit above the odds when it gets to Beta.

NorthernLights24 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Alpha 4.01 - Wow that's is all I can say! Saw a video on Youtube of the latest alpha and the scale of this game looks epic. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 does look great, could have the potential to become a multi player classic. teaming up a la Leroy Jenkins style. the boy playing it, unless I'm missing something, did a shit job explaining what was going on. Link to comment

All he did was chase some bad guy and fire at him until just at the very end when the bad guy is about to get blown up. The bad guy then just fucks off. What a load of horse shit. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 needs more baddies. an anarchy with no packs of pirates! must be fixed. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That looks awesome. Saw another vid where a guy showed the new ships. The Anaconda looks fantastic... Link to comment
Ke1t Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Somewhat underwhelmed by what I've seen and heard thus far... it looks like it might be a third rate Eve, and without the user base. Still, early days yet... I await the whelming. Link to comment

Still, early days yet... I await the whelming.It's still in alpha. The majority of the features and gameplay haven't even been pushed to players yet. Probably won't be released until December so plenty time yet. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Put down the 100 quid for the premium beta last week. It's brilliant even though I'm constrained by not having a joystick (one delivered tomorrow hopefully) Already... had my most enjoyable moment in a multiplayer game yet. Very very good. Compared to Star Citizen so far which is a horror show. Sack of shit. Waste of fucking time. They've been at it nearly two years and their focus instead of a game engine and mechanics is to give you a poxy hanger to walk around in... with an aquarium with fish in it. Aye that shows a real laser focus on the shit that matters right there. An aquarium. Link to comment
Bamber Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 its in a beta and its been that way for a few months and is severly restricted in game play BUT I am still loving it - pretty damn close to a Lakon Link to comment

a don in oz Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Fucked if I know boof. Magic I'd say and maybe building walls from all the money they fleeced off mugs paying $225 for a fucking ship in a non finished game. Anyhoo... if you're playing Elite:Dangerous right now then that means you're dedicated coz you stumped up. I'd suggest if you don't have a TrackIR or an Oculus Rift but DO have a webcam you go and download and try out FaceTrackNoIR. Just uses your webcam (if compatible) to do "face tracking" in the game. It is bloody fantastic. Totally sold me on the idea. Free download: http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm Absolutely worth a go since it's free and if you get it working it's pretty impressive... Link to comment
