Woo!!! :D

Edit: Not sure if I want to watch it. I think I'll just look forward to doing it for myself in the beta on Monday

Aye, no bad big chap.


I'll second what he said ^^ The servers are notorious for being slow on release day(s) with even more people having 2.0 I really hope there is some extra Oomph in them.

Ahhh its good to be able to do this again although it looks a lot better than it did in the days of Elite II! Just like way back in 1993 it's still as cool as feature as you will see in any game. Nice one David. :cool:

So, that "Glide Complete" was at ~7.5km altitude, but also ~50km from the outpost. Which one triggered it? i.e. could you have glided at 2500 m/s for longer if you'd stayed higher? Or is it that 50km from target instead, meaning no way to extend the glide (and in fact you'll want to be lower when you hit that boundary) ?

Hopefully we'll be able to glide much longer... must be awesome with the Rift!

Really awesome already, despite the unfinished state. Two questions come to mind:

Will the dotted target circles also be implemented for targets in space? That could be useful to discern whether a station is in front or behind the planet it's orbiting.

The contact tab showed several contacts labeled "Goliath". What's that? A type of skimmer, like the large four-engine one visible at 6:30?
