Hello All, I hope you’re all enjoying your time in the vast universe of Elite Dangerous! My name is Emmanuel Katto. I’m a newcomer to the game and am eager to dive into the experience using virtual reality. However, I’m a bit overwhelmed by the various VR headset options available and how to...

Sorry if this is going to be a rant, but I'm done with this. 50 bucks p*ssed away. I wish I had known how this game is built before I bought it. It is just wave after wave of frustration. It's not how I want to play a game. No difficulty level: you are supposed to choose your own difficulty...

I am admittedly a fairly new player of ED: Horizons and have opted to use trading as my main source of income. I have been struggling with locating specific markets though; for example, the galaxy map says that in the Llyr system, there are markets such as the Malecela Command Site and the...

There are no contacts in range at ANY station I go to. I have rebooted, logged out then in, self destructed and asphyxiated myself. This game is unbelievably frustrating. The targeting does not work,scanning does not work, now this no contacts horse crap. This is a an ABSOLUTE WASTE of $60.

Hey Everybody! My name is izaznz and I am a newer player with about 50 hours of gameplay to my name. Ive been interested in exploring for a while and I just recently bought myself an Asp Explorer. My only problem is I have no clue where to go! My goal is to go explore some currently unexplored...

Howdy virtual space folk! In addition to the web version of my super-duper in-depth Elite: Dangerous beginners guide, there's now a PDF version also available for download from Onedrive & Google Drive Many thanks to CMDR Aurelius Borealis for creating the PDF version and Hondahoorz for...

Just a little heads-up to the people not used to a Frontier game: Frontier's modern games have the business model of "games as a service". This means that The Jurrasic World: Evolutions we have to play today is the first iteration. The game will continue evolving with new content and...

Hello everyone, I'm still pretty new to the game so I thought I would introduce myself. So far I'm loving it. Elite is (almost) everything I ever wanted in a space game. A few things could be added but I understand they are coming in the future. This game is amazing and incredibly large. Anyway...

I'm new to ED and ive done my share of bounty hunting, got the cobra, bounty hunted some more and got the type-6. I am doing trade runs in this now because i wanted to try something new. Im wondering where to go from here? I only ever play by myself and i feel like i am missing out on a lot in...

(banner image courtesy of Qohen Leth) So quite often I find myself wanting to recommend a bunch of forum threads to other players and rather than having to dig around each time I thought I'd start a thread that attempts to pull all the good (IMHO) stuff together in one place. I'm going to try...

Hi Cmdrs, this forum is a bit overwhelming for newcomers so apologies if this is not in the right section. I'm a fairly average player who's got 800 and odd hours under the belt most of it just doing my own thing and not really worrying about rep and making money so I still have plenty to learn...
