"You're killing me Smalls"...
lol I was thinking the same thing. I figured I would be smart and go get the yardwork and my daily errands done early so I could spend all this time playing.. by the time I finished I was able to log-in just as the servers went down.
Oh well, I can't complain.. having a company that is consistent on putting out updates is a great thing. Since so many "Early Access" games I have bought off Steam end up getting uninstalled because the Devs promise more then they can deliver, give up, and then hackers take over.
I've only been playing a few days, but I have enjoyed the game so much I went and ordered a Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS system. It'll be here tomorrow so I can't wait to try it out. Should be way more fun then a kb/m. Hope it will take the game to a completely different level, like when I bought the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for The Crew and dropped playing with the kb/m setup.
I'm glad they're at least trying to work on the Oculus Rift support though, I almost bought one today to go with the HOTAS setup, to really get into the action. I decided to hold off for the new OR they are working on, that way I know for sure I will be able to use the OR without any major issues. ..That and I want to see how much of a difference the HOTAS makes. I have a feeling though, if I enjoy the new setup, I will probably crack and buy the current OR available, as my main gripe with controls for ED is constantly locking/unlocking my headview to look around my ship. So being able to do that freely with the OR, plus the added bonus of it being 3D, with the HOTAS setup, will probably make this one of the most enjoyable games I have played of all time.
Props to Frontier, I've played tons of other Space games, like EVE, Evocron, Starpoint, and the X-Series. I dumped them all after a few days. I accidentally stumbled into this awesome little gem and almost bypassed it because of all my bad experiences with the previously mentioned titles. I am so glad I decided to buy it, haven't been sucked into a game this much in a long while. So keep up the good work, I will definitely buy a few ship skins just to donate a few bucks so you guys can order a pizza while working on updates
