First few hours in gamma - Very Happy So far

Hi Guys,

I tried my first few hours in gamma this weekend and I think the game is looking good. I had great good fun bounty hunting and exploring in my sidewinder, I sold the eagle to upgrade the sidey.

I am playing solo mode at the moment. I am a bit disappointed about the need to be connected. I really thought this game would be the one I have in the VW Camper for wet days on holiday.

High lights so far:

My 2nd or 3rd fight was with a Viper and the bounty was 10k. A very hard fight and the victory was sweet, i was amazed I won.

I finally found how to locate those missing stars. SC at top speed and look for moving dots against the background stars.

Loving the game, I break for Christmas on the 19th.. guess what I'll be doing?

I just yesterday got back from just over 4 weeks in Southeast Asia, several thousand miles from my computer, so this is the first time I've seen Gamma and the first I've played since Beta 3.05. I'm loving it, it seems quite a bit more polished than last time I looked, realistically difficult to progress while being neither impossible nor ridiculously fast. and I've only been interdicted twice since I started playing gamma so I don't know what all the fuss about interdictions is about. Had a fight with a Viper who chewed up my little sidey and spat it out, and a fight with an Asp which had me at 40% hull and him at 37% before the local authorities showed up and lobbed missiles at him. I still managed to get the kill shot in though and got a tidy 5000cr bounty for my troubles. Finding the whole "trade data" thing a bit of a learning curve but otherwise it seems like a giant step forward from the Beta versions, and much faster frame rates.

Sure, it's not up to Eve's standards yet, but Eve's had ten years to get there. Is it ready for release? I'd prefer to see a few more features but I think it's pretty close to ready. Is it fun? Hell yes. :)

They really nerfed interdictions hard in 1.05 I think. It's gone too far the other way, needs to be more in-between this and what it was before just to keep us on our toes.

I don't seem to have any problem getting NPC's to interdict me. I just make sure they are behind me and slow down a bit. Nice regular way to collect bounty

@OP ... Me loving it too. The exploration thing is just brilliant. I dont do combat but a combination of trading, missions and exploration is plenty for me. And not even tried mining yet!
