I have to disagree with this too. My flatmate plays on a pad and is the clumsiest CMDR I have encountered which I thought was just him until I tried the pad. I woudl take mouse/kb over a pad any day and I consider that inferior to my x52.
ED free on the XBox for the gamers of PC ?

Alienware. okay.. Say no more
Pfff.
There's nothing wrong with Alienware. There was a time when their prices were way over the top, but now that they're just gaming-aligned Dell computers with a few fancy lights tacked on they are just as reasonable as any other pre-built computer on the market.

What would really impress me is if Kinnect could be used like a TrackIR.
Finally a reason for Xbox One owners to buy a Kinect LOL. No wonder MS were interested in ED
I'm pretty sure that MS saying "Xbox gamers get PC version for free" only includes MS owned software and will probably be locked into some sort of Win10/Live restriction. Would have helped if the OP had left a link to the comment so I could see it in context....
The thing is...Xbox One will be running Win10. So, theoretically, the patches won't be out of sync. Patch for Win10 is a patch for Win10.
your placement of Mac users made me do a proper lol
Its not that , its I am very , very scared that after few months of XB1 they will start to town down graphical ideas and maybe stop giving us extra things to manage in our sub systems , maybe forget about the oculus , maybe forget about HOTAS as the main joystick.
like when the game is 5yrs old , will they do a graphic overhaul? I used to be 90% but I am just scared , I lost so many deep and complex games to consoles , the games are still around and still glorious but they are streamlined and simplistic.
Star citizen is nothing compared to elite dangerous , the only thing it will have is graphics and a tiny fantasy made up as they go along universe
Your talking about a game that won't give us tertiary fire already because "mice only have two buttons" I'm really not convinced the console will dumb it down :/ thats already been done by the PC players lol

It doesn't matter, Playing on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 will have their own seperate instances to PC gamers because Updates on Xbox and Ps4 require extra bureaucracy to patch the game and thus, Xbox and Playstation 4 will get updates more slowly, Which would put Console players in the dark if instanced with PC players.
Of course this would be amazing if people who play all platforms could play together in the same universe but unfortunately it's not FD's choice on the matter, Damn Shame!

Think is personal preference to be honest. I went from xbox pad, to HOTAS then right back to xbox pad. HOTAS is just too much faffing around for no major advantage as far as i could see unless you have pedals and almost a cockpit recreation thing going on. Too much for me.

Another pointless comment. Grow up.
Yeah sorry. I work, make money and buy good computers, while some people would tell me the tired old line "to build my own". Which i can't be bothered to do. I work enough as it is. Anyway, half the self built ones are crap anyway with no end of compatibility issues. So yeah, say no more.
To be fair , what I expect to happen is :Another pointless comment. Grow up.

Updates might come a bit latter on Xb1 due to microsoft wierd update policies (they need to tone it down a tad)
Players from the PC/Mac realm will nver see Xb1 but will hear and maybe see some of there effects on the global state of the universe (trade , CG , PP ,etc)
Xb1 players might not get every single detail of update (say , one day they fix draw distance scaling being to low)
overall I am scared but also happy we are going to get more player to this amazing game that so far , apart from graphics is everything and more than SC.
(oh and there is nothing wrong with alienware they are just as good as handmade builds just they look better at times ((and you get garentie)))
Dell Customer Support and Dell alone is the problem.
Anyways. What happened to the days of building a decent 400 computer in a small case. They haven't gone anywhere, you can build a toaster for the price of a PS4 and Xbone. With a 750 Ti and thats just as powerful if not more powerful than the current graphics processing power of a PS4 & Xbone, and hooking it up to a TV. That works too, and it's not much bigger.
But I mean each to their own I guess. I could see the interactions between Consoles and Players possible because this isn't a first person shooter and a mouse and keyboard won't give you an advantage here.

While there is nothing wrong with buying pre-built computers for those not interested in making their own, Your alienware will still have been built by somebody who could make the same thing for themselves
Wait I see you said only half of them are crap well thats probably spot on lol so nevermind!people who don't do research only have issues with building computers, there are various websites with builds that are fully compatible with eachother. PCpartpicker being one.
well the advantage here is :
4K or Oculus rift , HOTAS/joystick , 120fps.
that reminded me were we not ment to get some AA that works at some point?
Aren't people able to buy Joysticks for consoles? What does 4k or 120 FPS have to do with being an advantage, and every console has a VR helmet that they are designing if not testing out currently.
This is about ED being cross compatible not a PC vs Console.

^Agree with this - years ago I moved to playing flight sims, space sims, etc. to a gamepad. The DUAL sticks give me better control than a HOTAS. Twisting the stick for a control is not useful to me and using my left hand for the throttle/switched doesn't work for me. I'd wager I'm just as good as a similarly skilled player with a HOTAS. I can use all 6-axis of thrust (thrusters are mapped to controller buttons) and Yaw, Pitch, Roll in perfect control on the pad. Anything not mapped is a quick button push away with my RIGHT hand while able to control Pitch/Yaw with my left joystick. Can't play the other way.
This goes the same for a racing setup and a wheel. With racing simulators games (Gran Turismo, iRacing, F1) - I CANNOT use a gamepad. It's a wheel or I'm just horrible - but that doesn't mean other people are not as good as the best with a gamepad. I've played enough online to see that some folks can rock on a gamepad with racing sims - just like I do with Elite
