There is a pretty good Eliteangerous User playlist on there. A lot of great space themed music.
As far as I'm concerned this is a case of Mass Effect's music finally getting the game it deserves.

Hi everyone,
Day 2 of Elite: Dangerous being out there in the real world, and we already have a little update for you all. See the full change log below:
• Removed "Elite: Dangerous 1.0.0.0" version text
• Fix one cause of infrequent disconnections during hyperspace when server load is high
• Fix an infrequent system map crash related to data associated with specific systems
• Fix some debug strings being shown in slave-related mission descriptions
• Fix some ambiguous galaxy data in a small number of regions
• Fix two different very rare networking crashes
• Diagnostics to help track down one cause of disconnections following server island migration
• Diagnostics to help understand some graphics memory allocation failures
• Diagnostics to help track down systems with possibly inconsistent minor faction data

I missed ya buddy.
It'll take a few expansions to make that true. Despite how much I enjoy it, the game is merely a framework at this point.
We could try coordinate some GAF goal, in some system and try to pile ourselves in the same general area.
I'm up for some meeting near some station maybe in SOL, so we can take a photo of as many gaffers as we can.
I need to add you guys
my Commander name is Mik2121Edit: Or we can meet at Ho Hsi (where the hell is that...)

Regarding your bolded. Not really. I mean you were using planned stock decreases due to tax issues as an "excuse" and explaining a game that is so completely opposite (storyline, cutscenes,etc...) That I still don't think it's for you.
That story above is great but the game really is just "text" regarding any storyline honestly. You'll see other ships of course. And the expansions are pretty far out.
The combat training will be a demo soon enough I assume, so I would wait.

That was absolutely Incredible. Imagine playing that in the rift Oh my god.
the Cmdr name is Klyka
You should change the GUI color. The Rifts screen works best with Green.

CMDR Sofia v. Boergersatt here. Ready to be added to your contacts. Does this thread have one of these player spreadsheets for friendslists?
Sadly, I have to return and exchange my new laptop, hence I have to wait with my second play until christmas
However, I lost at least three times the server connection within in 2 hours. Does this happens regulary?
There is a link to a Google doc in the third post of this thread.
That's a shame
Well I CAN tell you that Jet Comms Limited loves to give 40k+ missions for give them 2 slaves to free from their shackles!
That's good. I might make my trip there soon then.
Cool, I'll add you as soon as I can jump back to the game. Right now I can't access the matchmaking servers apparently.
Ah gotcha. Do we also have some GAF Group or something so we can all play together? Dunno how the group stuff works...
Regarding slaves: places that sell slaves often have slave buy missions.
Step 1: Take a "bring us 2 slaves" mission.
Step 2: Buy slaves at their market.
Step 3: Turn the mission in.
Step 4: ?
Step 5: Profit! (Free 20k CR)
Is this intentionally? I don't mind to be honest.
Closest place near SOL that has slaves...?

Oh dear, on very low fuel without scoop in the middle of nowhere :/ I'm an idiot.

I think the whole slave commodity is still a little rough around the edges cause it's only been implemented like 1-2 weeks ago
Closest is V1581 Cygni (Peary Dock)

So after spending 2 hour yesterday tweaking controls and practicing my piloting (which suck btw lol)
I did managed to do 2 combat missions (not counting the one with barrels) and I got destroyed the 1vs1 mission .
I completed the launch/dock and travel tutorial I felt like going back to driving school except with a space ship
I had a blast, I am probably going to start playing for real tonight .
I'm having a hard time in combat though I guess it's normal for beginner , I'm gonna try to find some good tutorial on combat and practice a lot.

like one guy who immediately voice called me, begging me not to kill him cause he had his cargo hold full of Gold. I just told him I am checking if he is on Santa's naughty list and then let him go when he was clean.
He told you his hold was full of Gold XD

Are some of these assassination missions that are worth like 150k simply not worth it when you are rather new to the game? And if you die do you lose upgrades on ship and stuff?

Use a pimped out Cobra at the minimum, and 2-3 fitted shield cell bank modules to keep your shields up and it shouldn't be that hard to do those.
Depends on what you're flying, see my reply above. The insurance will cover the ship and all modules if you die, provided you got the credits to cover the insurance payment when you die.
It's a game changer in this, feels so good. Also there's Star Citizen and Enemy Starfighter on the horizon, so it's not like you'll have nothing else to use it with.
Oh... dissuade. oops.
Did my first smuggling run last night. Picked up some of that space weed onionhead from Harvestport and brought it to Dahan gateway. Made around 130k.
I lined myself up in supercruise to face the entrance of the port when i dropped out. Then I floated at max speed with FA off towards the port, Using my 3 heatsinks to keep temps low. Security ship started scanning me but I got through the entrance forcefield just in time. My heart was racing!
Not sure what exactly would have happened if they had caught me, since I could sell the onionhead on the regular commodities page as opposed to having to use the Black Market. Has anyone been caught by feds with onionhead?

I haven't attempted one my self yet, but I've heard they are quite tough. It's more than just a single target from what I know so gp in prepared to be fighting multiple targets simultaneously.
You get a HUGE fine...
You check in the contacts panel after you have scanned them.
Good to know my panic wasn't for nothing!
It was lots of fun. I'm definitely going to do it again. I recommend people head to Kappa Fornacis and try it out.
Can't believe I'm a space weed dealer now.

Man, I think I need to have actual spreadsheets and research materials next to me when playing.
I cannot find a worthwhile trade route to start making some quick credits.
Oh, and don't map "Jettison Cargo" next to your "Landing Gear" ... why I ever did that, I'll never know.
1) Spend 80% of my funds on 'expensive' cargo I can take to an Agriculture place to sell
2) Have no idea where or how to find an "Agriculture place" to sell
3) Leave hanger and flip the "Landing Gear" switch
3a) Weird, not working, hit a couple more times
4) Look at text and see "Cargo Jettisoned" 4 times
5) Look at text and see I'm fined for "littering" 4 times
6) I have 154 credits

Did you look on the Map? It shows you the trade routes.
Not sure if anyone has tried out the Elite Dangerous Voice control pack with Voice Attack, but holy crap, is it amazing. Some of the commands are pretty minor, like setting your speed, but it's pretty awesome to be able to talk to your ship and have it respond. Now I just need that Oculus Rift...
^ looking forward to setting that up soon.
Do it.
Just a warning though. For Star Citizen, you'll need pedals.
In this, yaw is slow, you can do that with a binding. For SC you really ought to use pedals.
The thrustmaster warthog doesn't twist. But it is damn good!
I got the saitek combat pedals. I just use the toe-breaks to control yaw so I don't have to move my feet all over - I set the thing to max resistance so it stays firm. ... It needs a third party program to set that up though (UJR - combine toebreaks into a single axis - for star citizen). You don't need it for ED but it's better as it's analogue this way - don't think it would be otherwise. [Edit- Actually it's still digital here lol, need to check options for that]

been just doing the tutorials and watching the youtube videos (seriously they can't embed this stuff in game?).
Game seems pretty standard for the most part... Until you do the landing and traveling tutorial.
Thats when things click that this is something special
That hyperdrive effect is fantastic.
Any tips on popping out of supercruise? Can't seem to get this down right.
Go full speed until the timer goes to 7/8 seconds remaining, then drop your throttle down to the blue region. Play with the throttle to keep it around 7 seconds and that will get you there with the best speed.

So wow, fun and interesting first night for me in Elite.
Started out in the system LHS 3447, Trevithick Dock. Stayed up until 1:30 AM trading and exploring, doing a few missions, and learning. Made a few bad trades that I lost credits on, but also made a bunch of good trades and ended up the night with 28,000 credits to my name. The two pirates who interdicted me helped out too, got a few thousand credits in bounties for them. I'm finding that evading interdictions in a stock sidewinder isn't always easy, I'm guessing that better ships with upgrades makes evading easier. Also this 4 ton cargo hold is so damn limiting, lol.
Went out exploring new systems after a bit and almost ended up running out of fuel. I just barely made it back to a system with a station on my last jump, came THIS close to stranding myself in deep space! Cleve Hub was such a welcome sight, man the tension was so very palpable.
This game can be damn beautiful at times. It's like Space Engine with an actual game included. I'm finding exploration more fun than I anticipated, I just may end up going down the pure explorer road with occasional trading now and then. I particularly loved this scenic vista from Oleskiw Station, I honestly just sat and stared for a bit thinking about how awesome it's going to be when we get planetary landings in the game!
Saw this poor Commander get his Sidewinder destroyed by a station in the Erativa system. I guess he forgot to get docking clearance or something!
So after just one night, I'm hooked big time. It's Elite allright, as familiar as the game was on my C64 over 25 years ago. Once we actually get planet landings it will be a more fun and modern version of Frontier (Elite II). I really need to get out of this Sidewinder though, my ship is still bone stock and I've been debating on whether or not to upgrade the Sidewinder or just squirrel credits away for a Hauler. I need cargo space and more utility slots to mount fuel scoops and scanners. Too much fun though, my weekend is going to be spent flying Elite for certain.

Regarding yaw: my CH Products Stick has no twist for yawing.
Two workarounds: mapping yaw left/right on one of the hats and/or setting "yaw on initial roll" in the settings.
Maybe this helps others with similar sticks.
This works pretty good, but I might consider buying the pedals in the future.

I love the online with this. The galaxy is so big that if you don't want to see people, chances are you won't. IT's so good.
