I owned the original game for the Acorn Electron many years ago & was in awe of just how much gameplay was crammed into an 8 bit computer. Ian Bell & David Braben were geniuses! It was so far ahead of its time. It's fantastic to see how it's evolved into the game it deserves to be & not left in the past as a forgotten gem. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it.
Thanks for sharing. C64 with white cassette deck. 😅 My older brother, who acquired Elite status, owned the home computer and game. As all little brothers that follow in their older brother's footsteps, I played this game for hours, days and weeks. Hypnotic music for docking. Sometimes simpler is better. Amazing memories.
I love playing this game, but most RUclipsrs don't explain that well on how to do the ship functions. I think they assume you will just figure it out yourself. I liked the way you explain how to play this, and I picked up some tips I had no idea about... thumbs up!

Limpets can be synthesized from IRON and NICKEL by ship at any time... I just found out after making the same mistake couple of times after watching this. Lol
Coolio.. Hehe.. Watching you leave the station without limpets.. priceless. Don't worry.. I still forget to stash my cargo scoop and complaining to myself why I can't keep up with NPC's in dogfights. :p And hey man! I still pick up junk/materials via cargo scoop.. lol inefficient or not. Gonna be an interesting watching you play. Especially with a mouse and keyboard. I don't think I can play this game without a HOTAS. So props to you. I'm also thinking there would be more edit work happening compare to a game like NMS. Hope people like it. Ohh.. loved the Cobra MKIII.. still remember it fondly.
Thanks for the Video... I haven't played for 5 plus year's . . . Your video is pushing me to dive back end. I played with a Thrust Master Stick and Throttle... It broke and I stopped playing. Do you play with just the keyboard ?
They did away with manslaughter cause you killed someone. That is murder so you will die for it. Lesson -- Use your Kill Warrant Scanner to verify the target is "Wanted" before you fire your first shot at him.
"ok, I'm going to hit 'home'..." this means NOTHING to a console player. what in game function are you doing? (as if you guys ever return to read this that arn't ass kissing comments :/ )
@@crimped357 home is an actual button on the PC, called Home. Sorry. I don't have Elite on a console but if you can remap the controls I suggest going in there and seeing if it's even mapped. The DLSS scanner is hard enough with a full keyboard!

I'm old too. Played on Commodore, was it "plus 4"?
@@hubristicmystic Not sure if they could have made a version on the plus 4 - may have been the Vic 20 & was definitely out for the commodore 64

Also tutorial helps with ship controls and functions.
I have many hours and knew all this, but your voice and demeanor was so entertaining I just enjoy watching.

Tabitha : a born troublemaker . Your play is very enjoyable. And that's a real compliment coming from a Viscount of the Empire. Thanks.

Thanks PD. 2 hours of editing on this one. Similar to later episodes of NMS.
Really enjoying your glameplay of ED. I may add this to my list.
Thanks. Looking forward to more.
going to have to name the ship Sanford and Son picking up all that junk .
Are you continuing this series its the only elite dangerous i can actually enjoy watching
Yes, slowly but surely. :) Been really busy at work and life. Soon!
Limpet's, aquatic and explosive.
What I enjoy most in Elite is manual flying.
I always stayed away from bounty hunting before. I'm thinking with the new rewards, I may have to rethink that.
Keep up the good work.
Just always remember to use your Kill Warrant Scanner to ensure the target is "Wanted" before you fire your first shot.
I’m watching this while waiting for Elite Dangerous to install, I hope I can increase font size in the settings
Thanks for the Video... I haven't played for 5 plus year's . . . Your video is pushing me to dive back end. I played with a Thrust Master Stick and Throttle... It broke and I stopped playing. Do you play with just the keyboard ?
Yea. I have one of those Thrust master things in a box but I can't stand bringing it out and hooking it up. All keyboard and mouse!
5:20 did you copy the advertisement or was that a coincidence?
Coincidence. That ad is there most of the time, and I didn't see it.
Love your content. Very informative. Subscribed.
What do you do if there are zero resource extraction sites in the Dromi system?
Keep going
Whaaat? All the respects! Cheers.
What do you do with this junk that we collect?
why do they charge with murder and not manslaughter
They did away with manslaughter cause you killed someone. That is murder so you will die for it. Lesson -- Use your Kill Warrant Scanner to verify the target is "Wanted" before you fire your first shot at him.
Nice. Subbed.
Ok ill get it
again!! I seen another guy do this on a RUclips channel and I few aroung that damn ring forEVER!! and I never seen SHIT HAPPEN!!! WTF?!
Get outside the ring but close. Look down into and across the ring for laser fire.
@@edmartin875 I eventually figured it out. But thanks anyway! 👍

"ok, I'm going to hit 'home'..." this means NOTHING to a console player. what in game function are you doing?

I don't play on a console. lol keyboard and mouse, like I clearly say in the first video.
(Everyone disliked this)
@@Tolakram ok but tell us what the 'home' button is assigned to when you can.
