    I'm one of the newer people in Elite Dangerious, (started around 2 weeks ago) and i thought this looked cool.

    Dusted off and lubed my flightsticks after a year-long hiatus, and was greeted by an unbelievable sight!

    ED is by a mile my game of the year (long-ish post)

    Posted: 11 May 2020 05:08 PM PDT

    By far one of the strangest game's I've ever played and communities I've experienced. I really didn't know what to think of it, I'd tried to play ED in 2018 but it just seemed like this big empty sandbox I didn't understand, I died a few times and hasn't touched it since January of this year.

    Since then I've come to the realization that Elite Dangerous is one of the few games I've played that is much more then the sum of its parts, only made better by the community that play it regardless if you play solo or not.

    It's an open invitation to do whatever the hell you like in a universe so vast you think it looks the same until you move a fraction of its distance and suddenly a background that looked static begins to shift slowly from forms like abstract lovecraftian nightmare scape to a full on disco ball with more lights then you thought possible

    One of the weirdest things is that it doesn't give a shit if you see and won't hold your hand at any point and that's the biggest invitation.

    It's the core of these invitations turnd adventures that I've come to love about the game.

    • At first it was getting the hang of things

    • Then it was getting my first million and finding my jam/favourite thing to do in the game

    • Then finding my legs outside the pond that is the pilots federation - took about 3 days

    • Then saving for the chieftain back when 20 million credits would take me 2 weeks to save, feeling invincible the first time I deployed it's hardpoints and ringed around something twice my size.

    • Then it was spending a month leaving my first Anaconda in dry dock slowly chipping away at the 500m module upgrades, launching it for the first time with that feeling that I'd "beaten" the game because I had 'that' ship

    • Then it was unlocking the first few engineers landing on planets. Discovering dead alien ships by littraly learning how to navigate using longitudes and latitudes from watching a YouTube video because I didn't understand what a planetary scanner could do.

    • Then it was saying screw it, I want the corvette going on to annihilate an armada of pirate ships, paying off more politicians then I could count and discovering how awesome NCP ship launched fighters could be, leveling a harmless up to an Elite as a side project.

    • Then it was tinkering with every available engineer that didn't require mining or too much trading.

    • Then getting mad at how much the thermal damage ships could do to me and deciding to make the 22,00ly trip to colonia in my 19.6ly corvette

    • In the process of the plus 1k jumps reading/listening to all the lore codex entries, finding planets/stars/bodies people has missed along the way and making it a bit shy of explore Elite and having something mind numbing to get away from worry about end of semester exams

    • And today it was me making it back to the bubble and deciding to try a new challenge and fight in a war, as a result hearing/watching a Farragut Battle Cruiser jump into range with its 20 or weapons firing off into the distance for the first time and feeling awesome as 4-6 NCP dangerous to Elite rank ships couldn't get my sheilds down with concentrated attacks for 2 plus minutes (popping off multiple shield cells) while shield bypass wepons barely did anything to my hull

    That's what I love about this game. All the emergent adventures YOU decide to go on as a natural cascade of slowly understanding the scale of customisation and options you have

    All this even before I've had the chance to:

    • Get to the centre of the galaxy

    • Get pulled out of FS by an alien

    • explore Beagle Point

    • Buy, engineer and pilot a solo thargoid killer

    • Unlock any of the guardian tech

    • Work towards X3 elite (or even one)

    to my last point, One of the biggest misconceptions I'd created was that by default the Elite Dangerous community would be toxic, elitist and secular.

    Finding something more akin to the dark souls and Bloodborne community, sure you get the odd arsehole that'll tell you that treasure is at the bottom of the death cliff or wait outside the boss room for free xp but the large majority of commanders just want ye to enjoy the game as much as they do while recognizing the difficulty and learning curve required to get the hang of it without spoiling the adventure.

    I'm not sure if it's just that the game is at a particular part of its lifespan or that it just requires a type of person to play that has led to such an active, nontoxic, friendly and still capable of having banter communities.

    TL:DR Good game, nice commanders, 10/10. Would fly spaceship again.

    What Tritium Means to Elite Dangerous.

    Posted: 11 May 2020 05:02 PM PDT

    You probably think that tritium is just the fuel for FCs, but it's a lot more than that. Tritium is the only item in elite that can be produced by players, traded to other players, and has an in-game function. It's the first item that has the ability to introduce a player driven economy. That means emergent gameplay, like FCs organising their own community goals to refuel their ships, and everything that goes with that.

    This is a small but significant step that shouldn't be scoffed at.

    The question is, why would a player who mines it sell it to fcs? I think naturally, there may be a motivation. Because the price a station sells its tritium is higher than the price it will pay for it, there is some wiggle room for FCs to set their buy prices higher than a nearby station's, while it still being cheaper for the FC than buying the tritium directly from the nearby station. So sellers get more profits, and FC owners get cheaper tritium. There also could be other motivations, like stations having a much smaller demand for it than FCs.

    Hopefully FDev expands on this first element of a player driven economy going forward. A good and simple place to go from here would be to introduce player trading and the ability to sell and buy materials and data at FC's markets the same way you can currently do with commodities.
