Been playing for some time. I don't grind but I do have long play sessions. I upgrade my ships level to level, meaning some of my modules are still B's while others are engineered A's. Makes progression very comfy and bearable.
I love this game.
I don't want spacelegs. Well, I wouldn't mind being able to wander around my ship and docking bays, but I strongly dislike the thought of talking to creepy mannequins with dead eyes and silly dialogue. I certainly don't wish for fps sections or on foot exploration. I play other games for that.
I'm here to fly a spaceship.
So many moments of serene beauty.
So many desperate escapes and breathless victories when finally docking at homebase with my ship barely holding together.
I find the game to be very robust and runs like a dream. Graphics and sound impeccable.
Sometimes it's cold and impersonal but I am a child of the 70's and feel right at home in aloof sci-fi. I don't crave Star Wars. I like what this is.
I want it slow and thoughtful with a dash of panic from time to time.
I have played videogames religiously since Pong, and Elite Dangerous instantly found its place in my heart as one of the games I am thankful for having and craved.
This forum is terribly toxic and there's a lot of members who hang around only to spread their discontent. This is unfortunate. There are few games that hold interest for several years. It is quite unreasonable to expect this of a game. I am quite sure that if this game had a more storydriven and accessible nature its simlike qualities would have been lacking and one would be over and done with it in much less time than 3-4 years.
Well, enough about that.
I just wanted to say I adore Elite and that I am thankful for being able to enjoy this very special and soothing game.

One of my best Elite moments was barely escaping from a Thargoid encounter that went by doing a repair/reboot sequence to fix a busted FSD and a LOOONG charge to escape.

By the time I got out of that encounter, I was down to 10% hull.

By the time I landed? 2%, and my instrument panel was popping and smoking.

When the docking clamps engaged, my sigh of relief could be heard from the next county.

I like the idea of this thread. Let's talk about the things we love, and share the great stories.

While I can be credited with a lot of criticism about some of the game's issues, it doesn't change the fact I really like the game.
I don't think I've quite beaten WoW timer yet, but I'm about to if I remember my WoW mileage correctly. Then ED will be the longest-played game in my life.

Recently, I've found it refreshing to be just flying around, looking for opportunities for best planet screenshots.
Universe is beautiful if you give it a chance to show its beauty by going closer to all those astronomical objects.

I've also been pulled out of jump by Thargoid ship and it really made me heart rate go up suddenly.
Especially that I've forgotten to equip the 'Goid EMP neutralizer thingy.

Thank you for your positive gentleman like post. I guess your approach to the game is just how it should be done. If you ever want to see a non toxic friendly forum, visit my home at ATAG - link in my signature.

I salute you, sir

I love how when you faff about in random places and then suddenly realize, hey, this would make an awesome screenshot. And it does. Travelling the universe, taking pictures. Who would have thought you could make a game about that?

...+1 rep to OP.

Is it possible to automatically ignore threads by ignored users?

I don't normally like censorship, and have never done it before, but the amount of screaming on this forum is just pointless.

So far, I can ignore users, but their 'new thread' still show up.

edit: Gave up playing for a few months because beige planets and other stuff made it lifeless. But 3.0 has changed a lot of things which makes the galaxy seem more real.

Even though some of the old planets were too beige, there were still some really impressive one, like this one world I found with ice canyons well over a kilometer deep.

I rolled halfway down one of the sides and nearly destroyed my SRV, frantically spinning and firing thrusters the whole way to mitigate impacts.

Good times.

I’ve been playing for years and as said before ED must be the best value for money in Gaming history—- I play the game for me—do what I want —when I want —and how I want

When I get bored I play another game for a few days , then back to ED

On balance I'd have to say that E|D has been the best game I've ever been involved with. The positives completely overwhelm any of the negatives. I am willing to acknowledge some flaws, but what are they compared to the ability to jump in a star ship and explore, adventure, and fight in a full scale replica of our Milky Way? I mean, I'd never heard of the Elite series of games before E|D, but just hearing about the actual setting got my Credit Card humming.

Now I have 7 ships with which to cavort among the stars. Come on, who couldn't Love that?

I find myself to be playing much longer
then intended every time.

Come home from work like 17u.
Eat, shower and 1 hour play ED...
OH... it's 23u already
Am closing ED and off to bed. ;-)

Good memories:
People...
the Cassiopeia expedition and getting involved. I appreciate the people I met there, and all because Galnet ran that player-submitted story.

Letting me son play, watching his excitement as he was interdicted for the first time. I had forgotten I was in Open for a CG. It was a real CMDR, but thankfully a very professional pirate. My son wouldn't submit, and I got to watch my ship get very skillfully dismantled. Somehow my son (who hadn't quite put together that it was a real person) decided that self-destruct was the only way to cleanse the computer... But we both enjoyed the excitement.

Recently: I've been at the new guardian ruins, and they were/are great, especially because I'd managed not to read about them first.

Yeah, sometimes I look up and my wife is a sleep, waiting for me to finish the last cargo run/upgrade/exploration/fight that I told I was doing a couple of hours earlier...

This has been my go-to game for the past 3 years. In that time, I've had countless crazy space-adventures, had great fun writing about some of them, made lots of friends, made a few enemies, lead BgS campaigns to liberate swathes of space, smuggled, shot, swindled, stolen... and I still haven't reached Elite in anything :D

And like me, the game has come a long way since release and keeps getting better!
