Definetly the way to go for most of us, nice played OP. I can't help but miss some of the "friendship" that's clearly present in another game I'm currently playing: Ascent, the space game. Not much to do with Elite, it focuses on building and not on fliying ships, but the community is more than happy to lend you a hand. Few players, unified chat, and enforced PvE only are clear reasons why this is happening, but to me, it just feels comfy and relaxing, knowing that everybody around is helpful and everything you do only helps the community as a whole.
