Just got Elite Dangerous

Quick question! There are 3 versions of E:D on the PC, do I want Odyssey? I know it has the "ground stuff" (not bothered by that to be honest) but also better gfx... That "should" still run on my Steam Deck and I see that people with different versions cannot meet up in game. Or something.

So, as PC owner (effectively) is Odyssey the one to install and stick with?

Cheers!

Horizons 4 has the newer graphics, not necessarily better, but you need it for much of the modern content afaik because 3.8 is now legacy mode, I think.

I like having Odyssey even though I haven't done much ground combat. I just like being able to get out and walk around on planets whilst exploring.

If you get Odyssey then all versions will be available from the launcher, no extra installation necessary so if you want to you can still run it on Horizons if you find yourself needing to (milking the cow!)

Just picked up a PS5 and Elite Dangerous is only £3.99. Worth a punt? It’s multiplayer apparently, can I play offline too?

Thanks

As a playstation player unless you go to earth you are effectively an offline player anyways.

I can pop on and help you if you want?

Edit: you start in a safe zone I can't access, so might need to do a few jumps.

Thanks @pondo and @saccades. I’ll get the console officially tomorrow so sort it out then.

I've a total of 300 mill available to share which I can hold on to until late on the 26th.

It doesn't take me long to get that kind of cash so no panic if you are not available.

I can share it whilst you are in the safe zone and you can pick it up later (from the nearly as safe zone). We need to be online at the same time to allow me to share.

Look for STW or singletrackgalaxay squadron and apply and I'll approve.

Is Deciat not still a roaring dumpster fire of gankers?

Yeah solo mode isn't strictly offline but there are no other players in your world.

Yes.

Auto-docking at Jameson after 11 months of on-again, off-again exploring is genuinely emotional. I love this game. 🙂

Welcome back the the bubble.

If you are cashing in the carto and want something different to do, there’s war. Otherwise, we could use a hand winning elections.

Ta! 🙂 Well, I would like to get Elite in combat - do my actions in solo effect the multiplayer universe? If so, just let me know how I can help. 🙂

Congratulations!

Ta! 🙂 Yeah, one big trip'll do that, did Beagle Point last year (or the year before?), this was to visit Michael's Rest. Mighty peaceful out there. 🙂

Yes they do. Our squadron is, as always, trying to further justice and equality in the galaxy, we have work for you combat or hauling. Otherwise there's a war on to save humanity.

I'm out in the Pleiades doing that bit that forms the training montage in martial arts films.

Head to velniat?

Quite a lot of STW carriers there.

Presume you are fine for cash?

For elite combat it helps to engineer your combat vessel.

I've gone for a corvette, mainly so I can have twinkly lights and bobbleheads galore!

Apply for the singletrackgalaxay fleet.

You need to join the squadron discord first, the link is in this thread a couple of pages back.

By they way, are you on console or PC?
