damn that's a lot of hours into it. Definitely won't bother then. I don't have enough patience for that considering I would be flying around by myself with no one to talk to.

Well ED is basically an MMO albeit stupendously huge so the long grinds kind of come with the territory

I got founders as i backed the game before launch and have really enjoyed the 10% discount as way back when the game came out, making money was a LOT harder.
This is a screenshot thread, i better put some more up.

Thanks
It is pretty awesome going from Sagittarius A* straight up as high as possible and see the bulk of the core from there.

Is that game enjoyable with a controller? I mean im not forking out money for throttle, yoke and column. But since I have a nice controller maybe I can still get something out of it?

I'm using an Saitek X52 Pro for it and it just feels a lot better and more fun then using the mouse, i still haven't tried it with a gamepad, but then i expect it to be less fun then a stick anyway.
If you have the game, try it with your controller, or you could look for the cheap and cheerful Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X which is a very basic hotas that gets decent recommendations for Elite.

Works great with a controller, Before getting my X52 Pro I played with a mix of M+K and XB1 pad
As much as I would like to, my desk is minimalistic in my living room. I dont want guests looking over and seeing a game station per se. That being said, I already have a wheel and pedals so I dont want more peripherals cluttering up my home.
I'll give it a go with a controller since Dice says its ok. I don't think ill put the hours in to constitute the investment of a flight setup anyway... at least not yet.

I personally don't use my X52 Pro on my desk, I have a plank of wood that I sanded down, Painted black and just put it on my lap with the X52 Pro on it, Works well and takes up no space on my desk, After I've finished using it the X52 Pro goes to the side of my rig with all wires neatly tucked away and the black plank goes underneath my desk nice and neat

Just saw a 30% discount deal for the X56 pro. basically same price as the X52pro £190 in your currency. Is that a good deal?
any ideas? i might be tempted.

Very good, It's usually around £230.

I was a Founders member as well. Does that mean I automatically get access to it?

what is there left to do when you have that kind of funding? Is Elite a sandbox game?

Getting money is the easy part, You also have to gain rank in the Federation if you want the Corvette or in the Empire if you want the Cutter, Both of those can take some time, Then there's the engineering aspect to really get your ship to be a monster and that takes time as you have to find the engineers and then unlock them, THEN you have to get materials.

Got an Anaconda, Cutter, Courier, Gunship and Fer-De-Lance, All *A* equipped, Cost a few billion, Getting the Corvette when I reach Rear Admiral, until then I'm really enjoying one of the best ships for bounty hunting *IMO*
Also got some nice roof windows ^_^
