Was about to have a moan but I'll take that azure ship set. Can't wait for the walking update. I haven't played for ages.
That's a pretty skin. Just wish I didn't lose all my progress by playing on Xbox after having played on PC since launch.
That's really cool...... I've never been able to figure out how to dock the ship in the tutorial, though....
Half tempted to get this, but to much to do in other games first.
@NEStalgia you gotta request a spot to land. Locate the spot, drop landing gear and park slowly. It's a bitch. But after 40 times, it gets easier.
@PhhhCough lol Elite Souls it is.....
I got the landing request part ok, but the actual slow parking..... I either end up off course at the last minute or i think i got it but didn't and have to keep doing touch and go attempts until i inevitably crash into the wall.... I want so badly to get it .. I love space flight games, and they're so rare. So far 40x hasn't made it possible... But I'll have to give it a try!
@NEStalgia dunno if this will help. I recently jumped back in and found out they have "docking/launching assist" which pretty much docks/launches automatically now. Same with supercruise, so you dont over shoot your destination. Happy new years and happy gaming.
@PhhhCough oohh, that's pretty cool, I'll have to check it out at some point! That docking was the only thing keeping me from playing. Must have tried a dozen more times, and after spending half an hour trying and failing, finally just gave up. I'm sure there's a trick to it, but something tells me it's designed for a full HOTAS on PC to really feel right
