This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Broken-Serenity;598254nah then they'd have to pack it with pay to play crap and nobody would play it anymore.

Peple play the other crap they add and pay to play is the perfect model for Elite

Sure you can get this ship but if you pay me $1 you can give it armour, upgrade its drives etc etc

Quote from: The Traveller;597893but how did they get on BBC news?

Quote from: Ladybird;597894They're british and Braben's a bit of a legend to certain type of person over here.

Actually it's a bit more than that. When the game was launched, it was launched for the BBC B microcomputer.

People that whine that their Steam game is taking a long time to launch clearly never played a computer game on cassette. :D

So I upgraded my KS pledge to Beta 1 access. Here's my thoughts after like twenty minutes.

It looks good, flight feels good. My reflexes are rusty as fuck - not having flown a Sidewinder in over a decade and a half - but I reckon this is going to turn out a winner. The cabin view is very neat, I can see how amazing an Oculus Rift version would be.

I really need a flight stick. Using the mouse to fly feels wrong. Using an xbox pad would just be WIERD.

I do feel like a liiiiiiittle bit of a fraud though, because I played Frontier : Elite 2, not the original, and that's not the game getting the nostalgia. Oh well! I'm sure Mr Braben et al will cry all the way to the bank with my money.

Now for my first proper dogfight...

...and thus endeth my dogfight.

The visual effects are good - once you start taking hull damage, your windshield starts to crack. Gets low enough, and your ship starts to lose oxygen, then it goes boom.
