WOW! Great video, seems like I'm watching a movie. Never really played any space simulation games
and watching this video makes me want to buy it. I'll have to upgrade my pc first, my E8400 cpu can't
handle this, I don't think.

Thanks for posting the video, Brennus. Please keep them coming! smile2

The engine is very scale-able. DX11 is a requirement but there are reports of very acceptable performance on mid-range hardware. The "game" is excellent, it far exceeded any of my expectations, and I'm still just playing an early access BETA. As a "game", however, there just isn't a great range of things to do yet, and it's still pretty buggy, but you accept these things goin' in and enjoy it for what it is. I honestly can't not recommend it enough, except for the fact that it's currently very expensive, and money doesn't grow on trees.

There's still a ton of stuff for me to see yet (I've yet to see the capital ships!), so I'll keep my finger on the combat camera trigger and upload anything I consider worth sharing...

Elite Dangerous Beta is expensive and I think I'll need to wait to buy it. Thanks for the info, Brennus.

+1 for Brennus. I am a lost soul, who wasted hundreds of hours in Elite 2 and 3... For me shelling that much was not a problem.

BUt it's NOT for everyone.

No defenses for that ship you were attacking? If I tried to do that in X3 I would have been toast.

The Anaconda is a bad MF'er, unless you capitalize on it's major weakness, it's weapons have a blind spot just behind the engines, which is where you'll wanna be if you wanna live...trust me!
