10 Signs You Might Be Playing Too Much Elite Dangerous

After making a long trip you describe those at the destination every stop you made in excruciating detail, then expect to be paid for all that exploration data.
 
When I go to my friend's house, I drive past the house at twice the speed limit with my wife yelling at me "Slow Down!" I pass the driveway and circle the block to come back around so I can pull into the driveway at a much safer speed.

Well, if you did that on purpose that's just how you make sure nobody pulls you over and carjacks you while you're trying to land, er, park. But if you do it out of carelessness then that would be called the "loop of shame."

Not on purpose. Its more like I wanna get there a liiiiitle bit faster, so I tap the accelerator just a bit and Zoom! I go sailing right by.
 
1. Whenever you arrive at a new destination in your car, you have to resist the urge to honk.
2. You find yourself using the number of hops you could accomplish during a time interval as your standard unit of time.
3. Whenever you arrive at Ceos, the controlling faction breaks out some Lavian Brandy and invites you to a barbeque.
4. You get the joke that was made in #3 above.
5. When someone says that they've been playing Elite for 10 weeks, you assume that they mean 10 weeks in game and not 10 weeks in real calendar time.
6. Your power management is so finely tuned that if hardpoints are deployed and you plugged a toaster in to your ship, your kill warrant scanner would turn off.
7. You're working on getting Elite ranking in CQC, because "quadruple elite" just sounds better.
8. You have spreadsheets on your hard drive that calculate DPS and energy usage for the various loadouts you use for your various ships.
9. The engineers you work with have begun organizing a union to get medical benefits for all the work they do for you.
10. You have a $1 billion+ dormant bounty in Robigo.

Yes muddled dreams about the game...
 
So I started to make memes for this thread because Elite needs more memes and because WTFSDLFKSFGKSF:LGH is this thing doing here on the forum withouts t zi memes?????!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

When you start watching SC videos and other space game videos and think I hope ED puts that in or stays away from in future spacelegs. ex. ME:Andromeda trailers and the backlash review videos thinking I hope ED spacelegs doesn't make all the animated females look like prunes!

I am not playing Elite: Dangerous too much, I am spending too much time playing "Life in the 21st Century", the sequel to "Life in the 20th Century".
 
You know you're playing too much E: D when;

- you don't get why not moving an inch from the chair you're sitting all day is frowned upon.

- you decide to get into your car to drive somewhere, you expect yourself to blackout and be instantly teleported to the drivers seat of your car and wonder if you've disconnected when it didn't happen.

- you try to check if your heat level is doing alright, when theres too much blinding sunlight blazing through the windshield of your car when you're driving.
