RE: [VIDEO] Elite Dangerous
I think there's been some typical internetz overreaction to this...

Yes, possibly. I can see why they wouldn't want to do it though, they would effectively be handing over enough data to the client side to allow enterprising people to start making their own servers.
Though I miss the days of running your own servers. :)

I have my Gamma access, now I just need a week to get used to all the controls and commands.. The entire galaxy is now live for all users, so about 100billion star systems that can be visited. Shiny :-)
My brother-in-law's friend has built some sort of headset for this which will allow him to look around the virtual cockpit. Sounds cool.

Sounds similar to the Occulus Rift , they have had support for that for a while. And the IR TRack head gear. I'm just using a mouse to look around at the moment, my flightsim Cessna yoke/throttle/pedals for the flight controls and keyboard. Flight controls work pretty well, pedals mapped to yaw and vertical thrust. There is an ipad companion app , once the servers can handle the logins, that show market data and navigational maps. Would like to see them release an update that lets you have external tablets or laptops to use as the ship systems and navigation computer.
Definitely worth starting our in solo mode, gives you a chance to get used to the game, get started without other players attacking you for no reason while you get some better kit than the default. You can also switch from Solo to online, and back , taking your progress with you so no penalty in doing so.

"But £40 though... hopefully it will be in the summer sale."
On my wishlist, not enough time to justify getting it for that price at this point as still playing Battlefield Hardline, Titanfall and Dragon Age: Inquisition plus GTA V to hit imminently...
