Is anyone playing Elite Dangerous?
Elite Dangerous isn't just RPG (normal Dark Side material), but an MMO-in-space.
I'm Cmdr N Dentressangle, and I fly an Asp Explorer. I like to mine asteroids and fly the occasional trading mission.

Hi gremlin,

I googled that name and got surprised.
Enjoy this MMO.

I had to google too, MaG. Looks like it could indeed be a "dangerous" game. wave

I mainly get blown up a lot because I can't actually fly that well. Or land, or launch. Need to spend a bit more time at getting better. Loved Elite II: Frontier

I've watched people playing Elite Dangerous on YouTube.
It's a good-looking game.
I consider it more a space sim than anything else.
But it's certainly also multiplayer and online, which is why I'd never bother trying it myself.
With my poor reflexes, I wouldn't last any time at all in an MMO.

Jarkeld, my best tip for flying is to keep the speed indicator in the blue (and if you're using keyboard controls, avoid the W & S keys unless you mean it!), and for combat, still keep it in the blue, but put your power into shields and weapons.

I don't do the space mission stuff in Star Wars: The Old Republic because I can't avoid crashing in the tutorial. I can't image playing an MMO built on it.

I feel your pain, Guybrush. The boys used to love playing FPS's with me cos basically, I'm an easy free kill.

At least there is a lot of stuff in the game that you enjoy wave
