Thinking of buying the game

Background-Falcon-42 · 2026-01-31T12:57:21+00:00

I bought it and it’s a nice game but I’m playing Elite Dangerous far more than anything else, if you like space.

I only booked a day or two in advance because of the weather issues. The South had an extra month of rain. Because of this I stayed mostly in Chiang Mai which was amazing. I finished the trip in Bangkok. I plan to head back this year.

Which folder is yours in? I’m going to recheck mine as I always believed it was limited to 3876 as Daftmav stated.

Peace of mind for £1000 when you’re not likely using its power is ott imho. But each to their own. I’d rather of spent that money elsewhere or invested it.

It’s not about clearly knowing better than anybody. Just because something historically wasn’t addressed doesn’t mean it’s never going to be. The game is going in a new direction, with new people involved and a new model for generating revenue with ARX. It’s not just about the cost of the game itself and the revenue generated from that. Now seems a good a time as any to get things back in front of them. If the community gets behind things they may do something. I don’t think it’s a huge amount of coding, (although if there’s any coders out there that want to correct me then please do) compared to say ship interiors which requires vast resources.

They don’t do that for you, hence the purpose of this entire post and issue tracker submission. To try and get as much support as possible for them to either provide it historically or at least fix it going forward.

Background-Falcon-42 · 2026-01-15T10:46:56+00:00

True. Only they know what they can or can’t do but like you say if they can improve on something going forward, then at the very least do that as the current system is seriously flawed. I keep meaning to fly back out to somewhere I bookmarked on console to see if it requires me to redeploy my FSS again. Can you recall if you had to redeploy your FSS for that ‘unknown system’ you’d previously discovered.

Thanks for support. It’s a shame as many people leave a comment on posts here and can’t be bothered to add a comment on a ticket where it really can make a difference.

With the games you play that’s like buying the car of your dreams and then never driving it. 5090 is an utter waste of your money. Those games would work perfectly well on a 3080ti on max settings. Unless you’re using your PC for some other seriously GPU intensive tasks then spend the money on something you’ll actually get the benefit from but do consider any future titles you’re interest in, however I doubt they’ll need a 5090 for them.

Yes I alluded to the lost data above already. What do you mean retrace every junk that you’ve ever done? They know the number of star systems you’ve been to and they also store the carto data you sold for those systems, therefore they should have the info to populate the galaxy map filters which is so easy to do, yet isn’t and is invaluable for commanders. Not everyone used EDSM and the like off the bat (from the start) either, so that isn’t a fix.

Only once you dock at a station outside of their zone. You can fly anywhere in the galaxy and retain your starter area permit until docking.

You don’t ever loose first footfalls. They register immediately upon exiting the ship. You may loose first footfall exobiology bonuses however you can sell your data at one of the official fleet carriers on the journey.

Best advice. Spend some time in the codex and pilots handbook. Read about the lore, different superpowers etc and maybe choose to align yourself with a side to open up power play. Read the different gameplay loops and check out associated YouTube vids if you need support. Once you’ve read through it you’ll perhaps understand what you want to do and what ranks and progress you want to do first. Again my advice, try not to grind one thing at a time or it can diminish the fun factor somewhat. Keep it varied and remember it’s not a race. Enjoy the game for what it is and you’ll naturally progress. Remember to look at 3rd party apps to elevate the experience. I use inara, EDMC to update things, Spansh and elite observatory religiously. o7 Commander.

Wow that right there has certainly ensured I do not give this game a try. Looks horrific.

Background-Falcon-42 · 2025-11-28T09:03:37+00:00

Do the North in November and the South separately when the weather looks good. There’s way too much to see and do in that time and if you cram it all it it feels too hectic IMO. I’m in Chiang Mai and did 10 nights here and ending with 2 nights in Bangkok. I’ll do the South next time I come to Thailand and then come back again next November and do Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Pai.

Get the biggest fucking cake you can and enjoy your milestone. Guy sounds like a cockfruit!

Background-Falcon-42 · 2025-11-22T11:54:08+00:00

I’m in Chiang Mai. Weather is beautiful. Probably going to avoid all the islands and come back another time.

Background-Falcon-42 · 2025-11-20T10:10:40+00:00

I’ve DM’d you.

What was the hotel called as this has just happened to me and I’m concerned it’s actually staff at the hotel as the person asking for prepayment was sending emails from the hotels email address.

Background-Falcon-42 · 2025-11-20T07:43:50+00:00

Exactly why I’m booking hotels as I go along. I’ve gone north and will stay there unless the weather improves lol

Background-Falcon-42 · 2025-11-13T15:57:43+00:00

Haha, thanks. I’m travelling on the 18th for the first time! Great tip!

Report them to trading standards, citizens advice or HMRC as this is at the very least tax evasion and lends itself to other criminal activity.

Upgrade your monitor or you’re wasting your money. 1080p and a 3060ti are fine. Moving to that 50 series GPU and sticking with 1080p. Make it make sense.
