    Watched a vid where this guy was pirating. It looked the most interesting really. We could always group up and go fuck up some peoples day and steal their shit.

    The only thing I worry about is keyboard mouse combo. I have seen a lot of mixed reviews. Some say its total shit, some say they prefer it over a flight stick. I really dont want to spend more on this game than I have to.

    The other thing I have seen is that you an set up a 360/game pad to work pretty well with this. I have a game pad, anyone try this yet?

    Do you guys playing with key board and mouse have any issues?

    Also Ajax, the more MWO pisses me off the more I am leaning into getting Elite. Such as today. made it about 2 hrs before sailo and myself rage quit.

    I play the game with keyboard and mouse and get along just fine, there are a few controls I tweaked at the beginning but after that I've had no problems. There is a settings which slowly re-centres your mouse once its outside of a "deadzone", if your anything like me then you'll turn this off straight away, it's meant to make aiming steadier or something but all it means is if your in a dogfight you have to keep moving you mouse up, then lift and bring it down to push up again, and repeat, if you get me. Where as with it off you move your mouse up and you just keep turning :)

    My chosen profession currently is exploring (once I have a decent ship), what you have to remember is that this is a 1:1 scale map of our actual galaxy and all the stars etc that have been seen through telescopes are actually visitable in game with the rest procedurally generated. There are so many celestial wonders out there too see that are beautifully rendered in game.

    Examples:
    Super-massive stars
    Red Dwarfs
    Brown Dwarfs
    Neutron Stars
    Binary stars
    Trinary stars
    Black holes
    Pulsars
    Nebulas
    And probably more I've forgotten, if your curious what any of those are just ask or google :)
