I'm playing Elite Dangerous on the xbox now so if anyone else gets that game, come wing up with me sometime. :)

This is a game I think I'd be all over if video games were one of my two hobbies instead of one of five. :)

Haha, it's definitely a time-sink. Now that I'm not playing Destiny I have the time though. :)

This game desperately needs more people on my FR playing it. :)

Or get a Fuel Scoop (reply)

Either way, watch your fuel gauge! It took me way too long to get used to the maths behind jumping around, but I probably derped out.

Ok. (reply)

SonOfMacPhisto and I are in a "wing" with some other people and we're actively recruiting more members! Most people in the wing like combat stuff, but there is no reason not to do trading, exploration, or mining as well.

Dunno how that'll work out. Will try it out.

Presently, I have to shut down a few systems whenever I deploy weapons. I don't remember off-hand what I shut down, but I do skirt the edge with the FTL drive.

Multi-cannons are work horses, for sure. Overall power draw isn't bad, but the biggest thing is the drain on your weapons capacitor is significantly reduced. You can run 1 pip to weapons nearly all day long, which is a great boon to systems and/or engines.

Now I want to join :( (reply)

Why did you do this to me? Downloaded last night and started training...

Muhahaha!

+1 for using the fuel rats if you get stuck without gas. However, it's easy to avoid if you know the tricks. First, when you plot a route on the galaxy map, a solid line indicates you have enough gas and a dashed line indicates that you do not. If you don't want to run out along the way, one option is to get a fuel scoop but some stars cannot be scooped. To avoid those follow these instructions: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=89747

Don't forget to call the Fuel Rats if you get stranded! (reply)

I don't even know what that means yet. Honestly, I'm going in a bit dark on purpose. The flavor text of the game reminded me of my favorite shareware game ever. I'm sure it isn't totally analogous, but I love the idea of setting out in an unknown universe with nothing but a lowly shuttle-craft and trading/fighting my way to the top.

This is the build I'm going to try. you can swap out one of the multi-cannons for a laser weapon of some sort. Use lasers for shields, then once the shields are down, use the multi-cannons to take out their hull. Laser weapons are more effective against shields while kinetic weapons are more effective against hulls.
