Re: Elite: Dangerous - and the return

I think that he actually crashes in to an asteroid rather than being hit

That dev is a lousy shot though, I'd have got him halfway through the vid.

Cheers,

DB says Igor is taking it easy on him to give him a chance to talk.

But it's much more fun to forget about that bit, and then have something fun to chat about.

Reminds me of a scene in Incursio where Rebecca and Coyote are duelling. Even if it is newtonian, it doesn't 'feel' newtonian.

I'm definitely relieved to see that. And I like that they seem to be just pitching and rolling, too, with none of this "yaw" nonsense!

[Griff]

The combat (even in this early test version) does look like a lot of fun! I wonder if there'll be an option to switch off your main engines so you can keep drifting in one direction whilst turning to point in another, might just be newton-ish enough to satisfy everyone!

<chortles> If I ruled the Ooniverse, there would be no yaw nonsense!

[Smivs]

Nothing wrong with yaw! It's not something I use often, but it can be useful, and it's nice to have it available.

[Shipbuilder]

Ok - I've finally taken the plunge and pledged at the £60 level.

Yep.. when running from a horde of pirates, with drained shields, yawing side to side as you go is often the best way to prevent them from getting a bead on you. Pitching and rolling they seem to have no trouble adjusting their aim for, but yawing..

After that video, I'm actually feeling quite positive about the game again. The physics look OK, the graphics look OK and there seem to be a fair few options for weaponry and gameplay. They do seem obsessed with asteroids though.

I had the impression the asteroids were part of a planetary ring.. would explain why the field was so big.. besides which, a chase through an asteroid field is exciting! Reason enough to do it..

I think it's just a quick and easy way of showing off how the game can handle multiple unique entities. It's the same in the Limit Theory video: lots of dust and asteroids (although Josh Parnell does state that most systems will not be like this: he just likes the effect).

Can someone repeat the link to that Kickstarter graph that shows pledged money by day? Can't find it anymore.
