I would like to store some of this garbage in my dwelling with to place near and around my other garbage thanks

I've found it to be a bit difficult to get Photo Mode screenshots looking as nice as the game actually looks sometimes. It's odd. Usually these modes will pretty up graphics for you. Doesn't seem to be the case in my game (PC).

These are the best I've taken so far:

I'm about that JDM life pretty hard I've realized. All my screenshots are of Japanese cars.

@dave_tacitus: I've got some laundry list of issues with the game, but the devs seem to have their ear to the ground at least.

@machofantastico: Make sure the complaints you're reading aren't from people who want this game to be the last game they'll ever need. There's a lot of valid reasons why people don't dig Elite -- it not being their ultimate cyber utopia isn't one of them.

I just joined but it's a little late in the day to get in on it today. This is rad. I've been looking for an excuse to play this game lately.

@atomic_olive: I probably missed the boat on this. I'm still getting my Asp Explorer ready.

I've been putting my Viper III to work bounty hunting on Alioth's ring planets, protecting miners from pirates.

I probably could do some exploration now but I'm preparing for a long run. Which, considering this is my first outing past the human occupied bubble, probably not the best idea? We'll see.

On a separate note,I would love to see more people discussing this game. It has consumed me.

@bane: That's very odd.

I know in regards to exploration the further out you are the less likely you are to see other NPCs. And if you're really deep I don't think there's a chance in hell you'd see another ship.

That's why a lot of explorers go out there weaponless. Better to have a larger jump range than to carry around a few lasers you'll likely never need.

You're stuck in first person and are forced to drive a manual transmission car while juggling dramatic dialogue trees, hunger, energy, and stress.

And your car is a busted ass old Volvo wagon that breaks down from time to time. You've got to reference service manuals in the middle of a freezing, wet, foresty PNW road to repair it all while being yelled at by your best friend's boyfriend who things just went south with at the Denny's 20 miles back. And then magic.

@d_w: "Trippy teen drama set in the PNW" is my second favorite new video game genre. The first being "road trip video game".

I'm picking this up real soon for sure.

@devil240z: I like to set routes to random systems that are reasonably far from me just to explore and take pictures (screenshots). Once I'm done with my space road trip I roll back into a populated system and turn in my exploration data for money.

It's relaxing. You grab a coffee, throw on some John Coltrane, and enjoy the vast beauty outside of your heavily reinforced windshield.
