Why 1.1 is awesome for me

[Joe Akeem]

For me the speed and range of the new 'satnav' is frankly a-maz-ing!

If this first step is indicative of the future, then I am double-dog-deffo into 'ED' for the long term... in fact I almost envy those who haven't played it yet, as they have such treasures yet to discover!

Yup, thing's are looking bright, indeed!

There's always room for improvement but 1.1 seems like a nice incremental step forward. I'm really optimistic about the future of the game if FD keep going at this pace.

Liking what's been done...

The trouble with this 'unfinished' game is that you can quite easily just dip in and do whatever takes your fancy. Everyone seems to be screaming 'nerf' at the moment, and moaning about heat and weapons, but I seem to have made 160k credits in the past hour and a half with two type one beam lasers, and had fun doing it, so... I'm happy.

I'm mostly harmless and damn proud of it.

So glad i'm not rushing or grinding anything as some folks have and burnt out

Exactly this. +1. Why rush? So much to see and do.

I want this game to last for years. So far, so good.

* City lights
* Clouds have depth and shadow (fun fact: most of cities on Earth are placed around equator, as city lights shows)
* Earth itself just looks way more detailed
* Supercruise exit now is on par with entry - no sound/music cutoff and flickering, thus giving seamless transition. Station also zooms in from further distance, not suddenly appears and then zooms in;
* My text comms work (and I will guess for lot of people). It doesn't mean all instances are solved yet, report your issues with comms and *attach netlog with debbuging info* (see knowledge base at support.elitedangerous.com how to enable proper flags for giving full info to devs); Thanks to Tinman and others who also reported bugs on Monday. Hint of adding netlog helped a lot.
* Haven't tried combat in 1.1, but in beta it was way more fun than before, accidental fire system really helps here;
* My this evening favorite is when jumping in near star, it washes out all other stars and lights...and only moving away from it slowly gives back rest of skybox. Just awesome detail which I think is a bug at first;

Sans scrapping accident, and still bunch of unresolved issues, worthy upgrade. Thanks FD!

Yes there are a lot of nice improvements. The transition was a bit painful for some, but all in all I love where this is heading.
For me city lights are a great way of giving the Elite universe a more populated appearance. I also love the way my Clipper sounds.
