Playing Elite Dangerous on a wireless laptop on a train!

[Count]

They said it could not be done! The Nay Sayers were saying "Nay"! But here is the proof!

Heading back up North from London last night, playing Elite Dangerous on a wireless laptop on the train!

I was amazed at how quickly it loaded up, I was expecting a good long while of spinny spinny orange shippy, but no, it was almost instant. Very impressive!

Patsy has gone mobile! Plying her trade outside Ridley Scott!

I had to ditch that awful 'sandwich' as it made me ill!

And it did suck the juice, so had to plug power in.

But I just had to get on chat and find someone to tell!

All I found was a mad rambling drunken old Irish priest to tell!

I hope you had the sound turned down - for the sake of your fellow passengers....

Well done, Commander!

 

[Komemiute]

Next step is winning a CQC match in the same conditions!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! *Electric guitar riff*

 

[Conch]

sir, for you i take my hat off!

repped all the way!!

 

[Marshall...]

So you were sitting on a train flying a spaceship, has the world gone mad + rep to you sir!

 

[Privata]

This is awesome !
So all you need to play the game is the smallest of conections

You want to be careful, pirate attacks are a certainty once you pass Crewe...

 

[Eminor]

Blimey, if I manage to read the forums on the train using wireless, that's considered a success...

Hmmm, I reckon those images have been photo-shopped .

Hmm, no reports of any trains being interdicted near Crewe... at least, not since that indecent with CMDR Ronnie Biggs and his wing. That was a lil while back though.

Thanks! ....Adds cmdr Biggs to KOS list...

 

[ShimEnki]

Sheesh, thats pretty good there CMDR ...hmmm...provides some food for thought (not that sandwich tho p)

 

[cptdavep]

I hope there's hotas on the end of the lead, that would be hilarious!

 

[Boxers]

Haha yes - you'll sometimes find me playing on the Eastcoast line out of Kings Cross. I only risk it in solo though.

 

[CMDR Ellegon]

Now we just need laptops with integrated HOTAS

Congrats on getting it to work, how stable was it?

Well done, Commander!

Friendship Drive Charging - that must have caused a few "Awwwww how cute!"'s

 

[lysan]

I say Nay Nay!

What was wrong with the tomatoes in the panini...?

Great result; however, I can't see a X52 anywhere in your photos. I can just imagine someone on a crowded train with their elbows going all over the place, while they take on a wing of three, or trying to fight off a multiple interdiction during a Robigo run. The swearing after the "mission failed" comes up on the HUD would cause a bit or consternation too.

 

[Kizbot]

Great but next time I want to see hotas and oculus as well, some one must do this!

Yep - that's the train I was on.

Rock.

You don't know how close I was to actually having a HOTAS with me! I couldn't fit it in my luggage!

Okay, next time I will endeavour to have a HOTAS with me!

The tomato was what was RIGHT about the 'Panini'! :x
