Elite dangerous is on sale so I'm thinking of buying it but I'm unsure if I'll like it I enjoy a strong narrative and sense of purpose in games and I know this does not have a campaign or single player I also am worried about being killed by other players a few dozen times before I have even gotten a grip on the controls like in day z this also seems similar to eve which I found rather boring so am I the wrong kind of person for this game ?
Unsure buyer.
- Thread starter Ownagepants
- Start date
Buy it and say goodbye to all your other games...
Dont worry about getting slaughtered to start with, just run around for while in the starter sidewinder and then you shouldn't lose too many credits earned while learning the ropes.
Very helpful forum here so go for it!

Elite Dangerous is all about blazing your own trail. If you can find your own sense of purpose, maybe with a player group that matches your ethos, then you'll love it.
It still is I'm looking at the Xbox store screen right now
This is a big galaxy right so how long does it usually take you to get from station to station ?
On average, a few minutes.
ED has no campaign mode, no narrative. You set your own goals
Initially this will be making more cash to upgrade/buy a new ship. Also, you will need some patience to learn the ropes.

Alright I'm doing it Thanks everyone here for your help if this what the community of elite dangerous is like I'm a little less worried
A wise decision
Don't be afraid to ask to ask for help, we're a friendly bunch here in the xbox forum 
You're doomed then.
Welcome on board!! And remember..., buy Horizons as soon as available (6th of June), its a game-changer season!!!
Is that an expansion ?
welcome to the family then. But be warned, your going to spend a lot of time just gawping at the amazing visuals....it's that good. I personally didn't find the learning curve that bad...I've only been playing for two weeks and can dock like I'm landing an F18 on a carrier now!
Message me if you'd like any assistance.

I did forget to ask is death permanent here ?
You can lose your ship and start over if you're fly without insurance.
Been playing since release - still qawping!
Landings still a bit bumpy.
If you lose a ship you must have 5% of its cost available to buy it back. If you don't, and it's your only ship, you're back in a Sidewinder. Even if the lost ship is a 700 mill cr Imperial Cutter. The most important thing:
Don't fly what you can't rebuy.
Always have that 5%. Always. The rebuy cost is on the right hand panel of your ship.
