Try disabling OVRServices when you launch the game.
Do commander names have to be unique? Probably not, given that I managed to get "Ira".
It would also be stupid not to think about Elite on Linux, iPhone, Wii U or Ouya. You could ask David about Elite on toaster ovens and he'd give the same answer. So yeah... might happen, but don't hold your breath. Or breads.
From what I gather, it will have procedurally generated planets just like No Man's Sky.
Searching for names in for friends requests seem to only bring up 1 entry per name. Would be cool if there was some confirmation on uniqueness.
On another note, playing with a gamepad using the advanced setup. I miss not being able to have lateral thrust and yaw at the same time. Have to use keyboard for one or the other. (pitch/roll on L-stick, yaw/vertical thrust on r-stick)
You're right about that yeah.
Then I'm really amazed I got that name. Only three letters, and it's an actual word (in Latin) as well as a real name...
Either way, I use a gamepad with "yaw on roll". Actually works pretty well. Though I have to say, the gimped yaw and focus on roll feels really bad and doesn't seem to serve any purpose to begin with, but if that's what Frontier wants, "yaw on roll" is probably the best option for people using gamepads.
I would definitely recommend getting used to keeping at default. Yawing is incredibly slow in this game. If you want to turn with any sort of speed, you'll want to roll 90 degrees and pull into it.

If you have the DK2 you should be able to make use of the pos tracking. That is weird.
1. Do the color mod i showed you earlier. With green or light blue text instead of the orange you should be able to read everything in the DK2.
2. If everything is plugged in like it should be, adapter power, all cables securely in position, you might want to try to change USB port for your DK2 tracking camera. I experienced a lot of problems with my pos track (only in Elite Dangerous for some odd reason..), and literally went through all my USB ports, and luckily the last one I hadn't tried solved my positional tracking problem (in E) (and yes: it's a bizarre way to solve such a problem, but it worked..). For some people turning of hyperthreading in the BIOS also helps. I don't know if this is your problem, but there you have a couple of tips anyway if you need them.
Edit: Wait, is it a DK2, or a DK1..?
DK2 thx guys i will try
Help us guys me get this system guys

Going to experiment with yaw on roll + adv. controls for the gamepad scheme.
My X52 should arrive by next week.....(!)
Edit: There's no easy way to see on the map where friends are is there?

How do you smuggle slaves?! I need to find two and smuggle them to a station but no idea how lol
Well you can either try to blast into the docking bay too fast for the system authority vessels to scan you, or go to advanced flight mode from way out, aim at the dock, punch your boosters then kill power to all your systems and drift through the docking port cold. Either way, make sure you remember to request docking permission.
Well I've successfully Docked and Launched via training and started a game and now I can't even find what to do, lol. I fly to another system and lock on to a city or station in orbit but when I fly past it just looks like a spec, my ship won't come to a complete standstill despite setting throttle to 0%
This is going to take a lot of patience.

Sorry I mean how do you get them in the first place?! I'm lost aha. I've got to bring two back to the dock I'm I'm but have no idea where to find them from here.

When flying to a destination in supercruise, keep your throttle in the blue zone on the throttle bar, your computer will automatically calculate and adjust your speed to get your there. When you get to 1 Mm distance a 'Safe Disengage' prompt will appear, hit your FSD button and you'll jump out of supercruise and be about 10 KM from your target.
Use the galaxy map to find Anarchy systems, that's your're best bet. You can also filter down to what trade goods they have .
Yaw on roll doesn't substitute one for the other. Move the stick a tiny bit and it's yaw, move it a little more and it's roll - you essentially get both functions on a single stick. I'm well aware that yaw alone won't cut it in dogfights, it's too slow to evade anything or track fast moving enemies, but rolls are shit for precision aiming, so you pretty much need both - a design decision I don't necessarily agree with because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but it is what it is.
Damn, that easy huh? It didn't feel like I was even going that fast, all makes sense now. Thanks Sinatar. _b

So I loaded it up, took off, and decided I should figure out how to dock. Alright, found the dock request, okay, there's the landing pad... Whoop, gotta turn on my landing gear!
...
Why can I not land...
Guess Ill do the tutorial.

Their servers are getting slammed. Don't fret, the app is completely pointless at the moment anyways.

You might be turned in the opposite direction. When the landing sensor shows up, you should always be facing forward (as in you're looking at the rear of your ship), otherwise it won't accept. Took me a while to figure out this was actually the issue.
What's worse too is sometimes the pads will glitch and think you need to be flipped 180 degrees, so once you've gotten the hang of it, you're sitting there without thinking to look down at the radar.
No. Rectangles that are solid are NPC, hollow are players. Triangles represent that they have their hardpoints deployed.
Microstutter still present for me in v1.0. It's going on six months now. And it looks like the thread discussing the issue was closed, along with all other tech threads from the beta/gamma.
This is really disappointing. I put a significant amount of money into this game and I still can't play it without getting distracted. And that's on a monitor. VR's worse.
(I'm not sure if the stutter affects everyone. I doubt it does. But it's definitely there for me. A stutter every few seconds no matter what I'm doing or where I am in the game, at all graphics settings and screen resolutions)

So, theoretically, could a bunch of gaffers get together and play the Private Groups mode together?
I know it removes the cool multiplayer aspects of it and is NPC-only, but considering a lot of us are nubs, it might be a fun way to learn the game.
Or is it still very unlikely that we'd be able to meet up in-game at this point?

What are reasons a docking request would be denied?
Wow, way more players than I thought.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Got home, logged my name as Commander Mengy, did a few training modules, got into the game proper and found myself in system LHS-3447. Browsed the station menus a bit, was preparing to take off for the first time .....
when my girlfriend came home. Bummer, LOL.
Space will have to wait an hour or so.....

I was aware of the little landing guide thing, but it never showed up. Tried three times, the radar never changed. Even made sure it was the right one. Decided itd be better to just cancel the request and start the tuts.

This... is there no way to hide it?
Not right now. Seems like one of those things they overlooked from being so used to seeing it.

Commander Laran up and running
Got the oculus rift issue I had earlier sorted, turned out rebooting the PC was the fix... it annoys me when that is so often a fix. Playing solo mode and not seeing my free Eagle on the galaxy map, that map runs like shit in the rift for some reason. Might have to go online to collect it perhaps?
I have been to several systems now and done a few missions, got a whole 10K credits after having to do repairs and buying fuel... gonna take a while to get anything useful. I have yet to come across a proper station, just outposts with landing on top. So not offering ships for sale, just basic stuff.
Taking a break after a killing a bounty, lots of spinning. *yacks* Traded some crap but not made much money out of it. The better paying mission had me go after 'traders' causing trouble, 5 of them. After finally finding them because why have a mission with any actual structure, I start shooting and get fined for being a douche basically. Eh? The mission even updated to say I had the right target before shooting. Get one done to 7% hull then the others suddenly join in and shoot me to shit, just about got away. Be good if the missions had a difficulty rating.
Had same issue, usually because all the docks are in use. Just have to wait a little.

Pay is typically what denotes the difficulty. Also when you lock an npc or player it's usually smart to wait until your basic scan is done. OT will usually tell you the combat effectiveness of your target with a rating. Obviously you have to take into account the type of ship as well, but for instance of you target a viper and it reports the pilot is one of the higher rankings then you may want to hold off on that if you're just starting off.

Im 99% sure it's not currently in game, but I think they're going to implement either a way to eject fuel or dispense fuel to other players at some point. It would be cool of it were only certain types of ships that could do so though as a job/service.
Yeah, that would be really awesome. There are so many cool ways this game could expand, I hope they follow through now that they have a great foundation.
Anyway, I just self destructed
