Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
A couple of silly questions. And apologies if they have been asked.... thousands of times!

I'm not sure which option I want to start at... but does it really matter? Will there be another wipe for launch?

And I still haven't got my head around factions... If I start as a 'federal trader' or 'independent trader' does that mean anything? Or is it just a title? IE Can you swap factions?
 
started game with both basic and intermediate scanners when starting as explorer, Oh yeah no Cloud scanner whatever that is?
sold basic, and intermediate scanner wouldn't pic up body 1,600 LY away, shorter range then before?

Ok, had time to play about an hour, was at Bose station with 100Cr (was a bit schocked about that :D ). No chance to get some missions because faction don't trust me enough.
So I travelled to the next system and did some exploring, brought me over 6000Cr. Got interdicted 2 times, could avoid it one time, the other was a Viper who got my hull down to 23%.
So back to station, sold data, repaired all. Took a "bring me that stuff" mission, did more exploring and now I try to find some tea...then I got kicked out of the server.

Overall gameplay was good, had lags and minor freezes when exiting hyper jump, also took several seconds to get access to exploring data and mission board.

Looking forward to play and test more, hope I can find the damn tea to raise their trust in me :D

Good luck out there CMDRs!!
 
Servers down to lock in - great, that´s what I expected.
I expected that and the devs still don´t know the number of backers?????????????
C´mon, that´s why the rant of the past weeks - you want this thing online ALL of the time - not us.
Make it work.
Thank you,

Robin
 
in the original Elite (circa 1984) you started with a Cobra Mk III, 100 credits, and were docked in the system of Lave. :)

Personally, I love the 'tribute' to that time. :D

:) was othrer time when for play was enought a floppy disk and no need have machine so power how now,mine was only a question, play this game from beta 3.0 and always stated with sidewinder and 1000 credits. will be nice have a cobra :) was only for know if is a bug or changed volontary the credits to the start game
 
Excuse me commanders, but when starting over from scratch i have only a choice ...a SideWinder, 100CR and nothing other
I see that someone had multiple choices to choose how starting

Have i to do something?

I think that you need to use better scanners in conjunction with the basic scanner. I replaced my basic one in a previous release and couldn't scan anything.

Put your hands together and pray which the rest of us see server unconnected! xD seriously though the choice is yours missions, explore or trade or just blow stuff up
 
Really do no know where I got spawned...I am sure it was at least near the Pegasus arm, but I could not find Sol or any other known system. And half of the time I get inderdictions, once a Python tried to kill me and strangely I survived, even killed it after the security forces popped up and took down her shield.

had to have backed for the alternative start locations during the kickstarter.
 
Have they added the passenger modules?

And is there is list of what now won't appear on release day. As they said this is it for new features until after release. I'm yet to explore to see what's missing.

So far doesn't really feel like it will be a actual definition of a release after 16th, just another beta that everybody can get into for £35.

I think ED should list everything they are adding and when after the release. With the exception of the modules that were always not part of the original day one release. I care more about this than offline mode. I don't want to be beta tester post release!!

This is obviously some new usage of the word "nearest" i was previously unaware of.
my start loc lhs 3447
my eagle is at lhs 1914, 143 LY that's one hundred and forty three light YEARS away'
i know they say space is big,REALLY big, but that's just silly. -.-

I had the exact same starting (LHS 3447) location and same free eagle loc (LHS 1914)) as you :p
 
Congratulations. Have a great evening with the event.

Here's to many more years being part of this marvellous adventure.
