How many of you play player vs. player and how many of you play in private groups? I've been playing ED now for several months and I exclusively play in private groups.

I play exclusively in Solo mode myself. I guess that stems from playing the first couple of Elite games which were single player only. Just feels right to me.


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

I had no clue what Elite Dangerous even was until a German member of SimHQ introduced me to the game early this year and I've been hooked ever since. I now have an almost-fully engineered Anaconda and Python for the combat role and I have a heavily engineered Type-9 Heavy for mining and scavenging.

I've done all of it. Mostly solo and PG, but I've flown a lot in Open as well. I don't purposely seek out PvP encounters, but I've had some, especially in CNBs. PvP doesn't interest me much in Elite, but just the possibility of it adds some spice when I am bored. It gets the senses fired up.

I can see that. For me I avoided Open play simply because I didn't want some human-controlled Federal gunship pouncing on me while in my lowly Sidewinder or Cobra. biggrin

The German guy who introduced me to the game has a Cobra 4. I don't think he's mentioned though to me how he acquired it. I sold my Sidewinder and Cobra once I got my Python and Anaconda. I saw no need to keep weaker combat ships around. I do however have the Asp Explorer as my dedicated exploration ship. I really like it.

Play solo here, but have had the odd game in open as well... Love my Cobra III, got it decked out with top spec weapons and equipment for combat.
Also have a Vulture for combat duty, but the Asp Explorer when I want to go walk about!

PG with the Nephilim Group for me. It's always more rewarding for myself to play with buddies. If your having a problem let us know. Someone will be around to help you with it. How's the Opel gold rush going? Is it still a thing? Personally I think Frontier made a mistake changing Community Goals the way they did. Most of us couldn't wait to go bounty hunting. Now meh****. Hollar if you need assistance though.

Hey Bo, how they hang'en?

Backer exclusive.

I think it's a bit of a dog anyway, but folks tend to want what they cannot have (see salt piles at FDev boards)

Mmm... salt. There ARE a bunch of whiney entitled posters, eh? Gamers are among the whiniest people.

Ps D, loved your comments in the “ship renaming but” thread.

I can afford to buy a Cobra IV, but don't want one as I'm more than happy with the III series smile
