Your reputation with the faction you abandoned the mission(s) with probably went down a little bit too. Fixable with successful missions.Yes, that'll be it. I've abandoned more than one mission ........ maybe 4 or 5 ......

Newcomer / Intro My Return to ED ......

Just a final chip in on the bindings...
I am pretty sure that the first column will accept an analogue control like a joystick or throttle, while the second would be used for purely digital controls such as a keypress. Could be wrong, but it's how I've always set my bindings, if a controller is analogue it goes in the first (left hand) column. I think those set in the second right column are either on or off, so no graduation supported.
I don't know how the arrow keys remained assigned when you had also assigned them to a UI function, but as Codger says, control setup in ED can be a bit flaky! So, as he suggests, if you are happy with your bindings always back them up, and don't leave the backup copy in the game folder, put it somewhere completely different.

UI bindings are completely separate from, for example, "movement bindings", so most of the time you can assign the same set of keys for both. (A necessity for things like console controllers), which can really add to the confusion.
Also, IIRC, while you can bind an analogue axis to a button press (i.e. the fist column of the bindings), it will (with one exception I can't remember now) NOT work as an analogue axis. It will work but not as a continuous input but rather an either 0% or 100% switch.
If you want to bind an axis properly you have to do it in the dedicated axis binding window accessible by pressing the + sign under the function where axis binding is applicable.
That's a really nice touch about ED. Adds to my feeling of reality which is important to me.
A bit like my waitress friend on Aldrich Station. She's about to turn 57 which is so much better for this old b***er than any 20-year-old.
Thanks for this. I think your critical comments "happy with the (new) bindings" and "always back them up" (supporting what Codger said) are very important and I'm acting accordingly.
And may just this specific thread:
Elite Dangerous: Horizons Update for PC and Consoles Notes
at that site?This is nagging at me. I'm trying to find a suggestion I can make to help replace this loss. I can't.
Maybe moving to updates, like Odyssey, is the answer, but I wonder what others are doing?
There's no loss, not really.This is nagging at me. I'm trying to find a suggestion I can make to help replace this loss. I can't.

I've been playing the game for over 5 years. 4000+ hours. No game can remain fresh forever, but this one has had incredible longevity for me.
I do miss being a newbie, sometimes. But I also very much enjoy what I'm doing right now.
Well, that's encouraging. And of course, being selfish, I'm thinking of myself.
Pffft... Noob
Been playing since the end of 2014.
But I agree, the game does have a good amount of longevity - obviously! It can certainly take many years to hone one's skills and that process is enjoyable, as is / was for me the building, outfitting and engineering my small fleet of ships. Those activities can provide a good amount of short term goals to generate motivation.Unfortunately, not being at all into FPS games (and playing in VR), Odyssey which I have through the LEP doesn't really hold much interest for me and performance is poor in VR despite having a pretty potent PC, so my playtime is significantly reduced now.
But yes, @Wombat1940, discovering the game is great, and there's no reason there shouldn't be goals to keep you going for many years to come.
I've just been watching an Australian TV show discussing the Universe.
Now here's a paradox for you:
The Universe is infinite but constantly expanding.
And just the thought that 'every Star is a Universe'.
But there are so many of them!
And that is what is great about ED: it gives you just a small feeling about what that means ........

What are FPS games, and what does LEP mean ?Been playing since the end of 2014.

And I think that's what will force me to buy Odyssey, driving SRV's and go "Moon walking". However, doing 'combat by choice' is definitely out!
I'm uncertain how it shows this on the map.
One issue I'd like to be able to do is find the nearest station(s) to my current location that are Federation controlled. This doesn't have to be on any map, and could be using EBBD, the NAV panel, whatever ....... Thanks.
FPS - Is First Person Shooter - Walking around shooting stuff. I have no problem shooting things from my ships and even the SRV, just never been into games where you're a person walking / running around shooting constantly spawning baddies. And in VR, Odyssey on foot is... Well let's just say not compelling.
LEP - Lifetime Expansion Pack - Means I get all the updates for the life of the game, whether I want them or not. So Odyssey is a bit of a bust for me, but maybe something will come out going forward that I will want.
Fully agree. I find as I've got older, I hate killing anything, by simulation or in reality. That annoying fly that gets into your kitchen I used to kill. I'm now catching and releasing outside! Mind you, cockroaches? Very different story ......
And like you, Odyssey does nothing for me.
Interesting. Tempting with ED ...... but not yet ...... too much still so new in ED-H.
Likewise.So Odyssey is a bit of a bust for me, but maybe something will come out going forward that I will want.
Fun fact - if you wanted to visit every star in the Elite's Milky Way and you visited one star every second...
...it would take you over 12.000 years to complete the journey.
Interesting. I'm probably too inexperienced at this stage, but might be attractive for others:

They don't do that anymore (the LEP). It was something right at the very beginning, and I just decided to go for it. Wasn't a huge amount of money, maybe $150, so not a big deal, but in the event I'd probably only have purchased Horizons had I not had it, so I'm out $100 or so. First world problem I'm happy to say.
