Elite on Kickstarter...

[Darkflame]

briefly got into the solo/online mode, had time to completely fail to even find the correct side to dock at, then got kicked offline `

Thing is, my connection problem seems to be on my end - routers gone offline a few times since installing :-/
Not sure if related.

[Muttley]

If anyone wants to chuck a friend request my way, my commander name is: "Muttley" Maskelyne

[Yak]

it downloaded! thought I'd have a quick look ere bed.

Every time it started up it started on the main screen in rift mode instead of the rift :/

[Darkflame]

Predictably, I fail at docking my first two tries.
I got in the door and to the correct pad first go both times, put my landing gear down.....and cant work out what to do from there. Ship stays hovering above the pad.
Is it supposed to automatically descend when I am in the right place? Or do I have to press something?
Theres a little beeping target and it looks like I am fairly central.

[Tanatoes]

Downloading the update now. My commander name is - predictably - Tanatoes. If anybody sees me give a little wave.

CMDR FIELD here. Downloaded last night and will pop on tonight for a look. Can't wait. Having read the change log on the forums it's immense.

You need to thrust downwards with your vertical thrusters...

OK after some fiddling I've got it displaying in my rift. Going to save the experience of first docking attempt till after work though or I'll lose a day .

Hopefully the name I registered is working and I should be Commander Boanthrope

[Whiteball]

Won't be doing anything until this afternoon at earliest but more than likely this evening will be spent totally engrossed and learning how to fly proper with me HOTAS.

My commander name should be Delyk

[Surfr]

Managed a 5 min flight to I Boothis to see the sun before work but couldn't exit supercruise with 'C' as I was used to. More reading required.

[Pj]

Some of the key bindings have changed. Supercruise is 'J' by default now.

I'm Commander 'Pj' btw

Super Cruise and Hyperspace both use the same key now (J).

[defsdoor]

Scan have emailed suggesting I switch my order to a Thrustmaster Warthog. Ignoring the ridiculous price - can anyone recommend them ?

[Dio]

To which you should agree, if they'll do it for the same price .
