After a gap of almost a year, I've gone back to playing Elite Dangerous, and recently picked up the 'Horizons' expansion in a recent sale for £4.99.
There have been some significant, and beneficial, updates to the game since I last played, plus I now have planetary landings and a ground vehicle to master.
I've sort of settled on the Python as being a decent all rounder of a ship, especially after beefing it up a bit. I would have to admit to being the games most inept combat pilot, so all my money has been made doing transport & courier missions, with a little bit of exploration added in. So far, I have managed to avoid all interception attempts, albeit since I only play in PvE mode, these are interceptions made by NPC pilots anyway!
Try as I may, the skills required to actually shoot down another ship escape me. I think its not so much a lack of spatial awareness that's the problem, but more the fact that I just cannot grasp the knack of mastering the management of different weapons and ship systems. One day, though.............................
So, is anyone else here still playing Elite?
