Might give it another crack but after this happened 3 times on the trot i thought it was a bit much.

Mind i did keep going to the same spot, giant hunks of gold too inviting to ignore.

Actually we fell through excavating a hunk of gold too, oddly enough. Had to use the terrain editor in our multitool to dig down and get our gear back from our grave.:lol:

Realised the other day I lent it to my mate months ago and never got it back so haven't got round to giving it a go yet

Not had this problem again since.

Promtly find out a space ship crashed bigger than I've ever seen, result.

Seems impossible to get tech now though, the places you used to get it from give you these nanites or whatever now which you save up and then trade for tech blueprints on the space stations, although the first load I've been offered are all upgrades for tech I haven't got yet. still, enjoying it [maybe the wrong word really, but I'm playing it anyhow] again
 
Got this for PC after reading this thread.

I put about 100 hours into Elite Dangerous before packing it in so I thought I'd give it a whirl

Reminds me of Mercenary back on the C64

I do like the finding spaceships crack, but upgrades are hard to find. Getting a few nanites instead of items isn't much good because each upgrade costs hundreds.

The storyline can get you free stuff but it isn't what you'd call riveting

My biggest problem is getting a regular supply of money, the only way to do that seems to be grinding for hours and hours

I've been playing again for a few weeks now since the latest update. first space ship I found is the best I've seen yet until yesterday when I found another one better... for 98m units.. bit out of range atm.

as you say saving up money takes ages and then suddenly you spunk tons of it on a new gun or similar...

still.... I don't mind the grind

When I posted that I was about to pack it in at 24 hours

Now clocked ower 70 :lol:

I'm trying to get a farm together but it's taking ages

Even then it'll take another 70 hours to get a decent ship/freighter/multitool etc

Annoyingly addictive

hehe, yeah the ship I was lucky with it just fell into my lap.

frustrating when you complete a quest and some gadgee offers you a tool with half the slots then one you already have is. I think I spent too long grinding before leaving the first planet :lol: I'm nowhere close to getting a freighter mind although I'm just about to crack on with that mission burning around in a toy car which sounds fun

haven't played this in a good while - might restart and see how its changed

I'm not sure how much it has changed in terms of content as I just minced about really not doing anything mission related. it definitely has new features mind
 
you can leave communication boxes with messages for people to read so I guess they must be visible to other players - I thought one of the great complaints about it was that there was no overlap between peoples games..although I'm sure you can't bump into other players like

Should have had all this sorted when they first released the game, instead of duping people into buying the game they thought they were getting.

Unless they’ve added the features that were actually interesting pre release then it’s still shite. Massive con job.

Steam reviews and Neogaf would suggest all is forgiven. The game has been extensively worked on and the patches are pretty much weekly.
