I can’t believe how much fun I have playing Elite Dangerous hour after hour. I have been playing since December 2014 and each time they update or a new version is released I believe they have given us something new to experience.
I started out trading to make credits for a better ship… learned how to fly and general game features. Stumble across the rare trade routes and made a few million having a great time finding new systems and stations. A few more million came from smuggling whatever had the biggest profits. Many new friends came from running routes with players from all over. Achieving Elite in Trading was accomplished after hours of research, calculations, rumors, and winging up with others. One of the friends I made during trading and smuggling for hours upon hours talked me into heading out into the black.
I spent some of my hard earned credits fitting out a Clipper, 22ly jump range and all the comforts of a luxury liner. No weapons needed, but four Heatsinks, repair modules and all the exploration gear it could hold. I’ll be real with you, it wasn’t easy scanning and jumping for three months. After only a few weeks of exploring, whenever jumping into a new system, I found myself hoping there wasn’t any astronomical bodies that needed surface scans, it was tedious. I made it to a neutron field some 22k ly out from the bubble and just below Sag A, spent a few weeks out there farming data. Took about two weeks of jumping and scanning to get back to a Li Yong-Rui station. Which I joined before I left on this epic journey, thanks to my friend’s insight. I saw some cool stuff and found Earth like worlds and other worlds worthy of my name, but I wouldn’t go back out there again, I would not wish it upon any other. I endured the experience and achieve Elite in Exploration.
The past few months have been a blast. I have been mining, prospecting and a bunch of other stuff I wouldn’t choose to do if it weren’t for the Engineers. I have tried numerous modifications on weapons and various equipment. I have even scrapped “God” modifications and implemented other blueprints. I have been to so many places and completed hundreds of missions just to quench my desire for the next new toy. I have joined a total of three powers just to get their special items and apply some engineer magic to them.
I have Elite in combat now from all the hours I have shared with friends over these years. I don’t know how much money I have given FD, but I know it hasn’t been enough compared to the entertainment they have given me and my son.
I have been entertained for two seasons and I will continue to invest in Elite Dangerous.
