Will we all start close together?

There will be multiple career starts right? Pirates for instance shouldn't start in the same place as regular folks.

Some of kick starter packages included an option to start with a stolen cobra on an random anarchy planet. So those commanders have a choice to start that way.

As far as I know the rest of us will be regular folks right up to the point we act like a pirate.

The kickstarter tiers (aside from a couple of special & expensive ones) all spoke of ~"Randomised start location for multiplayer reasons". I do think the 1st job foe myself and my friends will be to meet up... Quite possibly at Lave.

From my backers store page:

Pirate: Have the option to start in an anarchic Frontier system with a stolen but upgraded Cobra Mk III and only 100 CR (randomised system choice for multiplayer reasons).

Federal Trader: Have the option to start in a Federal border system with a basic Cobra Mk III loaded with cargo worth 1,000 CR and 1,000 CR in cash (randomised system choice for multiplayer reasons).

Imperial Bounty Hunter: Have the option to start in an Imperial Colony with an Imperial Eagle Mk II Fighter with upgraded weapons and shields and 1,000 CR (randomised start system choice for multiplayer reasons).

So definitely not all together!

Players will start spread out, with the expection of a couple of places that may become quite crowded at game launch (Lave & founder's world).

Starting places/options of Kickstarter pledge levels from £32 upwards ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous ):

Imperial Bounty Hunter: Have the option to start in an Imperial Colony with an Imperial Eagle Mk II Fighter with upgraded weapons and shields and 1,000 CR. (randomised start system choice for multiplayer reasons)

Federal Trader: Have the option to start in a Federal border system with a basic Cobra Mk III loaded with cargo worth 1,000 CR and 1,000 CR in cash. (randomised system choice for multiplayer reasons)

Pirate: Have the option to start in an anarchic Frontier system with a stolen but upgraded Cobra Mk III and only 100 CR. (randomised system choice for multiplayer reasons)

Independent Trader: Have the option to start in the Lave system with a basic Cobra Mk III and only 100 CR

Explorer: Have the option to start on the edge of explored space with a long range version of the Cobra Mk III and 3,000 CR. (randomised system choice for multiplayer reasons)

Kickstarter Special: Have the option to start in the founder's world with any starter ship and 4,000 CR

Default start should be random system within the denser part of Human populated space.

I think i read somewhere that the explorer ks option places players at random edges of civilisation space so that could mean pretty spaced apart? Founders get to start at the founders world I think too so that could start off being pretty crowded maybe?

Anyone know? Would be awesome to scatter people around the galaxy to start. May increase the chances of running into another commander. May increase a lot of things, maybe some bad.

Who knows, good food for thought though.

If we all spawn in the same area I can guarantee a massive DM and if the new player spawns stay the same they will be camped by griefers who just want to ruins peoples games.

Interesting to see how it pans out. I'm guessing a smallish selection of systems within a not too inconvenient travel radius for group players to meet up.



Can we leave the g-words on their own threads, it's getting really tiresome.

No; tiresome only to 'griefers'...
