Right. I've got a good grasp of the controls.
I'm getting the Vette out.

Careful with ship to ship combat; they haven't fixed to he target hostile yet.
I'm Kumo.
Every ship's getting it.
And I want to check the issues out.
Bah, forgot to pick up some bait.

You've seen one bar in this galaxy, you've seen em all.
Bar reviewers has been out of a job for about a few decades.
I do miss the days when games came bundled with some printed media to make them feel more immersive. There were a few in the 90s did it really well; FE2 came with all the short stories, Syndicate and I think UFO Enemy Unknown both did their gameplay manuals in-character.
Not that I mind having in-game tutorials, I used the ED ones yesterday to remind myself of the controls before I took my actual ship out of the station, but paper feels nice.
Yeah but... I haven't bought EDO yet. I haven't seen any bars, I just want to know if they exist
Some of them came in huge boxes with all sorts of stuff in them...
Ahhh, the halcyon days of media...
They do exist, and they are pretty nice too. They lack social activities, though, at least so far. Can't sit. Can't buy a drink. The girls have nothing to say to you, nor the guys, except for a few shady characters trying to lure you into the criminal lifestyle (I have listened to their offers, and succumbed to a couple of themYeah but...

).But you can make some good deals with the bartender for hard-to-find items, or even illegal goods in some places.
As a solo player the social aspects don't bother me much. I just like the ambience and watching ships come and go through the big windows. And being able to get out of my damn ship for a while!
It would have been extra neat if they did an animated Jaques at his bar, though. Maybe someday.
I don't miss having to keep the CD keys around, though. Or the floppy disks! What are those!?
What do you mean Monkey Island 2 is on 12 disks...? That's a lot of swapping even with a secondary drive

Really hope this is on the todo list somewhere. There's not a lot of Elite lore characters really, it would be lovely to make use of the ones they have
I did enjoy getting posters like the FE2 galaxy map. Well, local galaxy map anyway. I feel like I remember a very cool manual with K240 as well (which I just found out may one day have a spiritual successor called Sector 53... although the dev seems very slow, so I suspect it's a guy doing it in his free time
)
Starflight had an awesome set of accouterments as well including a large star map...and a CODE WHEEL...and an in game Police Force that would let you get away with getting the code wrong a time or two...maybe..."save" is your friend...What do you mean Monkey Island 2 is on 12 disks...?

And do you still have the item you were supposed to hand in? if you boarded to soon, you lose the stuff you were carrying...Checked. No, inventory not full
Its IIRC a timer; you can wait [x] seconds and then you can board normally. It happens when you are under attack.
Can't tell - it was a personal computer and I have quite a few. Doesn't have a mission marker besides one. I'n guessing it's gone bye bye and I'll have to chalk it up to a... glitch, I suppose.
I just took on a second mission - simple salvage and that worked fine. The previous mission was not "offereble" as it were so I think that one can just get iself auto-abandoned and I can move on

Oh and...
I've never troed this before. I have two ships in the shipyard at a station. How do I selected one or the other from the councourse? It says use up/down to selectt hangar but those keys do nothing. DO you just have to use the old shipyard method of switching between ships?

Had to nip out.
Combat is working fine for me in Horizons.
However, that's probably just my combat style means I'm not seeing issues.
Got 30 mill in 45 minutes, straight bounties no missions.
Good enough for me.

You can change ships at the ship dealer in the concourse. If you missed my earlier edit, are you really sure you didn't accidentaly accepted the Emergency Boarding?
"Inter Astra" in the concourse is the same as "Shipyard" in the station/port/carrier menu. Some stations have no shipyard, in which case Inter Astra in the concourse is unmanned.
At the turbo-lift (elevator), one can use the up/down arrows to choose to go to the hanger of a teammate's ("teams" used to be called "wings") ship if it is docked and it has more than one seat.
Ah! Thanks!
CD keys aint half as bad as needed the damn CD to boot the game and then it gets scratched and your game is borked.I don't miss having to keep the CD keys around, though. Or the floppy disks! What are those!?
Floppy disks? I see your floppies and up you a HIMEM.SYS
