From what I've seen, E:D is a bit less sim, a bit more arcade. Is there planetside in that game?

Gratz! Well, the flight model is more sim than SC at the moment to be fair. But, no, there is no planetside.

The full game comes out on the 16th, but you can pre-order now. The offline tutorials are a joke, but hey - gets me behind the controls!

Link to the store:
https://store.elitedangerous.com/usd/elite-dangerous.html/

I pre-ordered the other day - excited for the launch. I'm just hoping there's not another long download to get into multiplayer.
Yeah, think it is off the table unfortunately. Belt just got a little tighter.

Well i got the Merc Edition preorderd so i get a eagle :)

anyways the game is VERY different from SC, especially the flight model. having to roll a crap ton just to turn. I will get the hang of it over time.

I wonder how many of us got ED (aside the ones here)

Oh yeah, I can't turn off my flight mechanics and fly backwards like SC or drift through portals backwards...I guess I really just like flying backwards in space.

I realize I know very little of ED even though I pre-ordered it - should be an interesting game to tie me over til SC comes out officially.

Just bought ED today and tried the Training Demo. It sure is different than SC so far. The ships turn way slower but the combat seems still to be fun although a bit frustrating. Need to configure a Voice Attack profile !
If ya'll got some advice, please do share ! I guess I will cya guys tomorrow when the game releases. Cya ;-) !

Whoever plays already lets tell where we are and what faction we will start supporting so we can meet up somewhere and make a group..Better to fly with friends/support.+ we need many pilots to remove the influence from some systems..
I am currently at Federation system in Chemaku/Aibiko system..but i have my cobra and some money to change..

i wont have orgs at start but you can make a friend list.go to the same system do the quests/trading/bounty for the same factions and get rep for those and you then can overthrown goeverments of diff factions

No orgs? Serious lack of developmental priorities there.

Atriden, someone is "selling" a heavily customized voice attack profile here on TEST forums, $5. Several hundred hours of customization iirc.

This one seems to be the popular voice attack set for Elite: http://www.elitedangerousvoicepack.com/

I am still thinking I want to set up my own when I get some time. I want less chit chat but still get success or fail ack.

Thanks for the advice on voice attack! I am kinda broke so I decided making my own simple voice attack, its nothing fancy but it really helps when playing. I am starting now, so I will get my eagle and move towards Chemaku/Aibiko system to meet up with Apolonios!

What are your ingame names in Elite ? So we can befriend each other and meet up for some havoc :-) !
