A genuine request to all people playing Elite Now

I should really go re-buy an Eagle and just sit inside the docking bay at Gooch Terminal in Aiabiko (a lot of people seemed to start there as well).

Sitting in Eagle, leaning back in my pilots seat with legs crossed on the dashboard, sipping a beer and humming the Popcorn tune as newbies go *pop* against the side of the access corridor and/or get faced with "Lethal Response" for "Blocking the access corridor"

"Pop pop pop pop-op-pop" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjxNnqTcHhg :) :)
 
Sorry no can do, I put in my application for a holiday, but with the amount of piracy, the huge backlog of contracts and deliveries to make, not to mention the endless bureaucratic red tape, its already been 30 years and doubt it will be approved for at least another 50 years or more.
 
I'm going to be sitting on a docking port at Aulin with Fraps, a crate of beer and some scorecards - giving points to the noobs splattering themselves all over the place.

It's going to be hilarious :D
Ah, must start planning my trip there. I'm quite far away. :D
Wait... I don't think Eranin is a start point anymore.:p

I'll just double back to where my SideWinder is and point myself at the station opening with my finger on the trigger. Keep them autos spooled up :eek:
 
No can do buddy, I'm going to be sat outside the starting station entrance with my new Cremator class cruiser, fragging all the noobs I can.

noob carcass sells well in the markets :)

Yup, me too. I hear 5 kills per shot is the record with the Ionic Plasma Spear. I reckon if I get enough newbs lined up a the exit, I can break that record...

Z...

you ever see that documentary about fledgling Albatross's learning to fly off their nesting island.... then the tiger sharks show up. It's going to be a lot like that.
 
Please help out us newbs on the 16th by taking the day off. You've had your weeks of fun, but you're absence on that day could help to prevent the inevitable server overload on release day.

So, guys, do us noobs a solid and go visit your old momma or something. Maybe stay over? Etc, etc.


what? no
 
No really op... You can just go to singleplayer.

Most people use gimbals anyways (auto aiming) so they arent necessarily "good"... Just better kitted and lazy.

I for one never gimbal. I have been using fixed guns so far, prefer high damage lasers and manouverable ships. Might gimbal though when I upgrade to a bigger ship.
 
No need to worry I'm sure if anything goes down it will be up again in no time.

Anyway I'm on a mission that can't be held back for no man, or woman for that matter, on my way to nowhere fast.

I'll keep a look out for you if you ever decide to come out this far into the void dude.

Most importantly and in this order:

1. Learn how to dock

2. learn how to shoot straight

The rest is up to you. No matter what though, just enjoy it!

What and miss out on the rich pickin........ errr i mean helping people! :D
 
has anyone any idea how many have bought the pre-order?

in any case, I don't think the presence of the gamma crowd at release will be any issue.

the possibilites are:
a) the newbies will far outnumber the oldies, so oldies wont make much difference.
b) the number of newbies is same or lower order of magnitude as number of oldies so unlikely problem.
 
It's nothing to worry about. The setup expands dynamically based on demand. I would put money on this being nothing like the release failures of other online games.

Besides, you might appreciate having someone around to give you advice, that's if you see anyone! My advice is go straight for open play and don't worry about it.
 
It's Raining Noobs! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Noobs! Amen!
I'm gonna guns out and let myself get
Bounties lined up like a vet!!
It's Raining Noobs! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Noobs! Every Specimen!
Crashing, dying, shout and scream
I'm Rough and tough and strong and mean....



;)
 
I'll help noobs get into stations faster by ramming them from behind with my fat Asp, preferably before they get permission to enter :p
 
working on the 16th so I will likely not be around till the evening - Seventeenth though I expect to be online and dangerous
