It’s been about two years since I last played Elite. I deleted my old commander last night, re-did all my controller mappings and started fresh, and actually I was surprised with what I found. Trading is a lot easier to do inside the menu now (things like EDDB.io aren’t as necessary, especially if you’re staying local). The tutorial was actually there (when I started last there were the lessons you could choose to do, but no semi-forced tutorial when you start), and generally the UI feels a lot cleaner than it used to.
Currently making my way over to the CG in my new hauler. Won’t be making millions with it, but it’s a start!
Before I get too invested however, I know that FDev are dropping consoles. Are they going to keep the servers online anyway, but just not develop any further? What about events like the current stargoid crisis, will these continue in the future?
