Well, I finally managed a rare run without incident!

You need to go back to basic then, the Viper is one of the best ship in the game. Here is some footage of me flying the Viper

Never said it wasn't great, just other's are better to me. Namely the Scout for it's hardpoint placement and extra utility mount's. I had to use trick's to make the Viper perform up to the praise, Scout is baetter withoutt rick's and trick's improve it further though it pay's by not beingg ood in other area's. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Great flying by the way, but I can't get my Xbox setting's to a good state to fly only FA-Off it always just full turn after I get past a certain point no matter how I modify it in settings. I like seeing Vulture's outflown by better pilot's in smaller ship's, done it myself once in my Scout.

I just put back the money for an Xbox Elite controller, so after I get it I'll let you all know if it's worth the price from my perspective. I'm still not sure if it will be myself, but decided to just go for it. If anyone's interested of course.
Very interested to know how you get on with this!

)My opinion won't just be based on Elite, just so you know. I also play Forza, Battlefield, and other game's. Personally I think buying it just for Elite is a waste of money no matter how good it is. I bet it'll be nice in Elite and Forza though, in Forza to put the clutch on a padle & modify the controlll stick sensitivity in Elite and put y on a padle also just look to be HUGE improvements.

Hi all noted a lot of comments that players are not seeing all a lot of other commanders in xbox one. I think the player count may be getting higher as we all get more confident with the game - I for one am seeing 4 to 5 a session now. Also recently picked up the eagle - great little ship which is lots of fun for bounty hunting - did have to spend a lot though to upgrade it all.
Spent my first few days doing missions trying to get a sol permit. Gave up on that because I have a short attention span. Started bounty hunting with my sidewinder out at lhs 3447 nav beacons and raised enough money for a viper. I have since outfitted it with a couple gimballed multi cannons and beam lasers. Upgraded my shields and hull a bit but was getting my ass kicked while trying to fight in conflict zones and military strikes for my faction... So I bought a better jump drive because I plan on exploring instead. I actually wanna see this galaxy instead of fighting in a few systems. I've made about half a million credits from bounty hunting but I wanna be a pioneer.. That starts tomorrow morning when I sell off some of my weapons and bounty hunting equipment for a fuel scoop and some better scanners. And then I'll pick a direction and go! Wish me luck! It'll be a while before I'm able to loop back into federation space
Sorry for the misunderstanding I just love the Viper too much, but you are right the scout have thruster controls it is probably better than the Viper in that regard. However, I dont have any problems keeping my nose on target doesn't matter what ship I'm flying.Never said it wasn't great, just other's are better to me.

Same here, I just go for effeciency in fighter craft and the Scout won. Viper was fun to fly too though while I was doing my test's to find a sub-Vulture light fighter.

I don't play many games where it would be useful so hesitant to shell out for it, would be more happy with keyboard support, sure I've got a wolfking I used in my wow/eve days that could come in handy with various macros!
My Eagle had done me proud over the past weeks, big battles, big winning scores, coming out only slighly scarred in most, losing her only 3 times in scenrios I know I shouldn't have gone in to, but hey I was bounty hunting and I could smell the creds.
So I rested her and bought my 1st Cobra MIII.
What do I go and do on her maiden flight? Crash in to the exit of the station whilst 'boosting' out as I had done for the past few days (in my Eagle) and cause a massive explosion losing ship and cargo. That was a costly lesson, I tell ya.

I came across just 2 last night. First one responded with a " Suuppp?" lol

So, I woke up at 4 am today to end the suspense and leave my sidewinder. Ten minutes into day three, I've gone from the starter ship to a beautiful Cobra, and what a ship. This thing is ripping enemies to pieces compared to the sidewinder, seems like a ship I'll keep for quite a while.
As for my sad story, I was in my sidewinder doing some smuggling for extra credits. Thinking that the "Cargo Hatch" was the cargo scoop, I turned it off to save power and heat sig while entering the destination station under silent running, 4 combat stabilizers in hand. Three vital things went wrong at this stage. One, I began to overheat, and stubbornly didn't open my vents until 145% heat. Two, my cargo hatch broke, spewing my cargo into space mere feet from the station. Three, after banging my head against the wall a few times, I went after the cargo. That was a bad decision, as it was pressed up against the spinning station. Long story short, I was parked in front of the station when the entrance swung around, and got plastered by the spinning parts near the edge. I lost a pretty big score, and, as if adding insult to injury, got fined for jettisoning cargo near a station.
