On this first day without Reddit, I found myself missing the community from /r/elitedangerous more than any other. Please feel free to make yourselves at home here and we will work on creating a space where all commanders can post, comment, and engage on the topic of E:D.

EDIT (2023-06-29): We're going to be copying some important posts over from the Reddit community over the next few days for archiving and informational purposes. If you would like one that seems to have been missed, please feel free to post it here yourself or ask one of us to do so. If the post has been misattributed, please let us know so we can correct it.

Just bought the game yesterday and I feel like I am going to play for a very long time. (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone, brand new commander here. I have just bought and installed the game yesterday and it is really a pleasure and an eye-candy on my 4K monitor. Finished the first training and the first mission in Dromi.

I am playing with mouse and keyboard for now. But cannot exclude buying a flight controller for this and other games in the near future.

Please advise in general on anything that may be useful to a newbie, but here are a few questions:

How much of a campaign is there? I heard the real pleasure is in getting lost, but it would still be interesting to see if any story is there.

How much of a multiplayer experience is (left) in there? I could see names that sounded "human-given" in the Ext.Comm. screen but didn't really understand.

Am I ruining my experience significantly by playing without a flight stick? I don't think I will buy a huge HOTAS set, but if I can get an extremely good experience by buying something chill like the Logitech Extreme 3D, please tell me.

Feels like an outpost (lemmy.ml)

At the moment, using lemmy feels a bit like docking at one of those outposts somewhere between Colonia and the bubble. There's not much here yet, but you know its going to grow.
