My Elite Dangerus one year Anniversary

Last December I watched a video on the BBC website about a game. This game was called Elite Dangerous and it was the next in a series called Elite that I had never heard of. I thought it looked really cool but I hadn't gamed in eons and I wasn't planning on starting, so I moved on.

Yet, it stuck with me. It looked liked the old X-Wing sims I was obsessed with as a kid of the 90's. But I knew I would just just download it, play it once or twice and get bored again like all the games I'd played the past few years. But I relented, dropped the $60 and before heading out for some NYE revelry sat down for an hour of play on my then antiquated PC...and I then spent the rest of the night annoyed that I was out and not flying my Sidewinder.

Fast forward to this morning and I'm annoyed I'm traveling to San Francisco to see my favorite band in concert instead of smuggling in my Python or BHing in my Vulture. I still play Elite everyday and this former gaming nerd who hadn't gamed in years dropped over $2,000 for a gaming rig so support this reignited passion. I love this game.

Thank you Frontier! I thank you for the past year and the years to come.

Right on, commanders!

Happy anniversary! I've personally been playing only about 3 weeks, bought ED and then got Horizons (yeah, I could have waited a couple of weeks and saved some money, but I didn't want to wait!). I also love this game and have been having a ton of fun and I am barely even into it. Heck, it took me almost the 3 weeks just to find my way to a high tech system and see about a new ship! :)

I don't even remember how long it took me to get a new ship, but I remember it was a hauler and once I got that jump range the Galaxy was my oyster lol.

Click to expand...

Lol, I also got a hauler, pretty barren at the moment but planning to upgrade. Made my first planetary landing the other day, as well, delivering some much needed cargo to a base for a modest amount of credits. Was very cool, actually.
Now, if I can just afford that Cobra IV! :)
See you out there in the universe, cmdr!

Favorite band:

Is it Silversun Pickups?

Animals as Leaders?

Lamb of God.

Blutengel?

Tool?

Amplifier?

I like all these but I won't fly to another country and leave Elite behind. Your priorities are befuddled.

For the record, San Francisco is in country for me and The Decembersists are my favorite band (Tool is in the top 5 though).

But, yes, my priorities are a mess right now lol.
