As Commander Pingmonster I have over 6000 hours in Elite Dangerous on the PC. (Check my sig below! It’s all in there!)
However with the need to rebuild Windows 7 (a number of times) and the pending need to update to Windows 10 early in 2020 I actually stopped playing the game after the last Windows 7 repairs (requiring the downloading and installation of ED:H again as well as Visual Basic to run it etc.).
This time last year I got given a PS4 Pro and with these December sales in the PS Store I picked up Elite Dangerous: Deluxe Edition and, despite wondering if I did want to start from scratch all over again, I did start playing. And I’m enjoying it as much again the second time as the first.
Commander Pingmonster basically made credits in game to buy better ships and outfitting so he could explore. Pingmonster did all the Elite signature explorations (Hutton Orbital, Sagittarius A*, Beagle Point etc.), chased Thargoids, did Guardians archeological investigations and put his name to quite a few star systems.
Pingmonster was a credits billionaire a couple of times over. He had a fleet of a dozen or so ships parked in Cubeo and at the Colonia settlements.
The last time I saw Commander Pingmonster he was stuck in the SRV on a dusty moon half way to a quasar in the south-east quadrant of the galaxy trying to fix the lost key bindings (yet again) for the controller.
So Commander Pingmonster is lost; at least for the time being.
Farewell Papa-India-November......
..... and introducing Romeo-Echo-Alpha:
Commander Real_Manticore (I’m so very sorry but it is a Sony Network username from some time back).
This time there will be no logs, no major explorations and, probably, no photography.
This time I’m just doing it for the fun of flying.
I’ve just done the Year's End Festivities CG in the Reorte System. Making credits seems easy this time around (probably because I know the game backwards) and I managed to put a Type 6 together for the CG and ended up in the 50% bracket.
It’s good to be back....
