A few of the things I am loving about Elite: Dangerous on this cold, dark, north-east evening:
Searching unexplored systems for landable planets and moons with active volcanism...and icy worlds...and planets with an axial tilt of 90 degrees. I'm making a list...
The beauty of the planets in this release...
Flying around as many of the planets and moons as I feel able, searching for geysers and fumeroles...
The quiet pleasure in flying around the surface of a planet at 229 m/s.
How much fun canyon flying in a Type-6 turns out to be, and how terrifying it feels when you think you have over-cooked that dive and turn manoeuvre.
The look of the night sky in 2.2...
The exploration music in the game.
The clunking sounds my Type-6 makes as I yaw close to the ground.
No-one has taken a shot at me since 14 January 3302.
I am still 56,462.60 LY from my "Home" station and my current best estimate is that I am still more than six months away from getting back.
How grateful I am that because I have never been a pirate, or combat-logged, or felt the game to be a grind, that I play in Open 99% of the time, have never been hit by something called a Suicide-winder, and have never seen an Engineer that I cannot share in the feeding frenzy on some other sub-groups.
Elite Dangerous life is, as they say, good. So much better than RL at the minute.
Flying happily
