Ok this is against the forum rules, but I want to say it.
I just love some of the content of ED and it blows my mind at times in VR
I have done Neutron jumps before and long expeditions, but not in 2 years since i have come back to ED
Well since then Colonia is a place to visit and I had to go to say I have, experience the sights and get the engineers done.
I did the trip to Colonia via the Neutron Highway in my 64ly Asp Explorer and it was an absolutely amazing experience.
The way the background grows on you and fills your field of view as the instancing works out the distances and the drawing of the background. As an ex programmer, I can appreciate how good this is.
Dropping into Neutron stars, being thrown around and some of the system views were breathtaking to say the least.
To top it all, when I reached Colonia, Radio Sidewinder started a banging tune to make it a 3 hour journey well worth the wihile.
So hats off to FDEV for the graphics, the sounds, the views and the mechanics of travelling the galaxy. This is what brings me back to ED time after time.
All that said, without the 3rd party tools like Radio Sidewinder, Inara, Auto Neutron, Spansh to name a few, this game would not be half the game it is. (yes this is a mute and well discussed topic)
So I really enjoyed the 5 hour session tonight and now I am parked up in Colonia.
What are the MUST SEE sights in this region before I do the Engineers and head over to Sag A ?
