Welcome to Elite Dangerous you space scum-bags! :D

What is ED? (Elite Dangerous)
ED is a game where you make your own objective, it is an astonishing Space Simulator on which you can decide to take careers like:
  • Deep space exploration
  • Pirating
  • Bounty Hunting
  • Trading
  • Mining
  • Play one of the faction related missions and raise to power
You can decide as well to play PVE in Solo mode or in Group mode with other players, or if you dare in Open on which is a constant PVP area.

How to join
You can buy the game directly from https://www.elitedangerous.com/
or you can buy it as well on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/

What to do
The first thing to understand about this game, that there is a lot of to do, and the learning curve is quite steep. We suggest to learn first through the demo play to learn the basic flying manoeuvres (especially landing at space station) and the ABC of combat. And only when ready enough to start to play in the real game.

Follow always those 4 golden rules:
  • Always join Mumble channel so we communicate and help each other (Mumble BRTD details)
  • Never have less money of you rebuy cost of the ship (or you will lose everything)
  • Be a group! Coordinate, help others, follow leaders orders (Tedioused & PallaDilardo aka Littlemad) and listen carefully to the wise word of the experienced.
  • Keep yourself informed: Read the daily Galnet News, the reddit group and your subfaction subgroup, the official ED forum, our BRTD group and subscribe to the official newsletter
The objective is to make a cohesive and highly coordinate group of players, ready to face any odds. Space it is a scary and cold place to live in!!!

CMDR Tiger61378 reporting in, and preparing to head into the deep black. I'm an explorer by heart, and being in inhabited space is making me itchy, so I'm about to point my Diamondback Explorer Endless Transit at the core and see what I can find.

Yeah, I'll be snapping shots of anything interesting out there, like the cheese planet I posted in another thread. Should be fun to see what I find...

Damn...and I'm going to be getting lonely out here..probably around 1kylie out from home now. Have a nice LONG trip planned, although I'm busy scanning out another system now. And I saw something....odd. Graphics glitch I think, for a moment a metal rich planet looked like a racing helmet, with a big squarish opening in it...Thargoids? Glitch? I didn't get the pic off fast enough :( And I'm calling it a night now. Just parked around the outer planet in COL 359 SECTOR JW-M D7-B6.

Oh, and btw...this is an odd solar flare...I swear there was chunks of stellar matter flying up as well as the usual gases! Look at the far left chunks...they were solid, 3d modelled chunks.
