I’d be interested to try this out.

Awesome!! I’ve never done it so I don’t really know how to set it up, but it looks straightforward. We can try this on Sunday with Soli perhaps.

I started downloading the game last night, but then thunder rolled our way to I unplugged the modem. So the download will continue tonight so I should be able to play from Wednesday or so.

Sunday I think will be more of a time for me to do the tutorials and get the basic hang of things. Hmm but maybe by Sunday afternoon I will have done that. Cool, lets see what happens.

Of course, PCMR ftw. \o/

Beo · February 20, 2018, 6:50am

Yeah I’m down for Sunday arvie or night.

Solitude · February 20, 2018, 6:51am

Unfortunately I can’t do the evening. Will be playing from early in the morning until sometime in the afternoon though if everything goes well.

27 February! Just in time!

Solitude · February 20, 2018, 6:47pm

Hmmm I’m thinking that I should wait until the release of Beyond - Chapter One before I start.

Is that a new DLC for the game which has to be bought seperately?

I played a bit last night (for the first time in about 3 years) and it was so damn nerve wracking to launch and exit the station, go to supercruise and come back and land again, that I rather stopped and played Dark Souls. I had completely forgotten all of the controls and I had forgotten how difficult it is when you just start out.
The game is very beautiful though, will play some more when I have the time.

No, Elite Dangerous: Beyond will be free, but I have a suspicion that you need Horizons to get the DLC free. I’ve read articles that say all players are getting it free, but the Wiki’s for the game all states that it’s free if you have Horizon.

But this will be a cool update. Can’t wait to see what they do to the economy.

Blazzok · February 21, 2018, 8:07am

Sweet. Now I just need to get my Horizons working. Even after I entered my CD Key on the Frontier website, it still tuned me “Horizons required” for some of the new features. So I’ll have to have a look again tonight what the issue is.

Did some more flying last night and it is slowly coming back to me. Wanted to upgrade my Type 6’s FSD to 4A so I can do farther jumps, but holy shit is it expensive! It costs more than the ship costs new!

So now I need to decide if I’m just going to save for the passenger ship, or buy a better FSD.

Beo · February 23, 2018, 6:12am

I might try playing some tonight and see how this Mixer thing works, try get it streaming and see what the quality is like.

Solitude · February 23, 2018, 7:22am

Nice, if you do, send me a link and I’ll watch for a bit.

I’m going to wait for Tuesday’s update before I start.

Talentloos · February 23, 2018, 11:02am

yeah send link please

Beo · February 23, 2018, 11:08am

Will have a look if it has to be done via Mixer, maybe try YouTube and Twitch as well.

DieGrootHammer · February 23, 2018, 11:09am

That is what you need.

I assume if you’re talking about Mixer you’ll be playing on Xbox right?

Beo · February 23, 2018, 11:10am

Yeah, don’t have a PC or capture cards etc. So it will need to use native supported apps on console.
