    So I did the docking and travel tutorials. Got some good tips on combat from a "adoredtv" tutorial youtube video on the sidewinder tutorial.

    My first mission was cargo delivery to another system, a double jump (playing solo). I got interdicted by some dude and since I don't know anything I stopped and he said jettison your cargo or die, then he started shooting, so I killed him and it turned out to be some NPC pirate and so I got that bounty, then proceeded to port and delivered the cargo. yay.

    Pay for the game once, then no subscription.

    I think but I'm not sure that it'll be fun for me, but since you have to buy the game, obviously be a million percent sure you like the type of game. Also, not really outfit oriented like ps2.

    I can't get the game since my bank blocks any overseas purchases for protection something or anothers. I'll have to figure something out somewhere

    Call your bank, have them verify your identity, do a triple verification, notify them that you're authorizing that purchase, state the exact dollar amount and it should go through.

    And here's a tool preview for it once you understand how it works:

    Example:

    This is my hud:

    http://arkku.com/elite/hud_editor/#theme_0_0.75_0_0_0_0.75_0_0_0.75

    It matches my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 and my Saitek X52 color scheme. Green+ Blue.


    And also @Nraged thank you for convincing me to get a TrackIR. I wasn't very good with it in WT ( :ROFL: ) but it is amazing in Elite.

    TrackIR is amazing in any game that supports it. It's better for War Thunder because in ED you don't really have to check your six.
    I've been watching a lot of ED streams and trying to kinda get into it. Can't really trade prop plane flying for spaceships.
