Elite Dangerous

I don't think there are many here playing this game, I tend to dabble in it as its the only game I really have to use my rift on that I actually enjoy.

They just set up an update to allow for multi-crew and a character creator. The creator looks good and you can really make a strange face, but thats about all the customization there is. Multi-crew is a blast. I jumped into a bounty hunting ship, which happened to be one of the biggest ships in the game and they had 2 fighters in their bay. Myself and another player piloted the fighters while the ship owner piloted the mother ship. It was exciting and frankly one of the most fun I've ever had in the game.

As for my in game time, I sold my Diamondback Explorer, the "Fallen Star," and bought a new Keelback the "Starspear" equipped with a fighter bay, mining lasers, and minimal defense systems to go find a mysterious engineer to get an upgraded multicannon. I was required to get 100,000 credit bounty vouchers in an effort to clean up the filthy alliance star system before the engineer would seek an audience with me. Right before I signed off I met that goal, which was much harder than I expected because bounties were hard to find in the alliance. Once I've completed all tasks, and get my multi-cannon for my Keelback I'll head back to Nanoman to serve the Federation as needed. They managed to snag me by offering me a cheap condor fighter to keep with me. I enlisted, got my condor and now I'm in debt to the Federation. I'm hoping to spend most of my time mining in hazardous zones for better raw materials and a chance to really get my fighter going.
