Elite: Dangerous
Discussion
Well rendering twice as many points as you actually need you'd hope would help! 
Update 16, a few fixes, a new Thargoid enemy ship and ??? Maybe some more story? Rumours of a Far-god cult ship having been found, not had the chance to look myself.
Another cool fan made film/trailer

Carrier jump times an ongoing issue which FDev as asking for feedback on.

Seems like there is also a new type of barnacle site to visit and some disturbing audio logs at the now derelict Far god cult ship.

) you are welcome. 
This is free on PS Plus now, so I downloaded it a week ago - I was a big fan of the original a long time ago...... Did the training missions last week - was still clueless, and didn't go further than that - but g/f was out until late last night so I thought I'd have a play. I've read plenty about the steep learning curve, and that it's definitely not a game everybody will love (and I have very limited patience with games) - so I was pretty certain that after an hour or two I'd give up and forget all about it.
Oh dear....... 7 hours later, I had to stop to collect the g/f from the station........ It's brilliant - really does remind me of the original but obviously many many times better these days.
Have carried out several missions (basically simply transporting goods from one system to another) - although I did accidentally steal some Lithium when I abandoned a mission...... in the end I decided it was too complicated (at this stage) to find somebody who'd buy stolen goods so I jettisoned them - and then got fined because I did it too close to a space station. Doh!
I absolutely love it - after 7 hours, I have barely even scratched the surface and still feel like I've barely even started - and in fact, have a feeling that I'll need about 10 times this amount of time before that changes.
G/f is away tonight, so I don't even have a late curfew....... that may not be good!

Nice to see people still picking up this ten year old game and having fun. Elite still absolutely draws me in and I do not know what might ever replace it.
Sad that Odyssey couldn't be made to work on consoles and they miss out on that.
I "wasted" my time in Elite yesterday fitting seven flak cannons to a Type 10 and attempted to rid a Thargoid Spire site of the Banshee hovertank things.
Was a total failure. Still fun though!

Jesus, it's not is it!!? Now I feel old...I did fire it up again recently, foiund myself forced to do a tutorial mission on foot, wandering around some surface base that appeared to have been attacked, trying to restore power. First time I've done on foot stuff, think I have a lot to figure out there. Need to spend some time setting up all the controls for my HOTAS setup as well. The VR seems to work pretty well but I need to check if there's a resolution setting somewhere as it seemed fairly low-res/blocky to me.

Elite's control scheme is a bit of a mess, just yesterday I had to open my .binds file in a text editor to get around the problem of multicrew triggers refusing to bind to the same input as ship triggers. My mate and I were totally at a loss as to why we could not fire from the SRV Scorpion tank turret when using back seat gunner role. Turns out the gunner input bindings come from multicrew, not the SRV inputs...
If the above reads like gibbering nonsense, welcome to Elite Dangerous!
As for blocky screen gfx, maybe check if FSR is enabled and at what level.

I was actually on the original Kickstarter, got alpha access etc. and played from then for a couple of years. Been out of it for what must be about 6 or 7 years now, hence my surprise - thought it was maybe a couple of years I was behind!Elite's control scheme is a bit of a mess, just yesterday I had to open my .binds file in a text editor to get around the problem of multicrew triggers refusing to bind to the same input as ship triggers.

Well a very humble o7 from me, without the Alpha backers I'd never had the 2500+hours of fun that Elite has given me.Wayoftheflower said:
