Elite: Dangerous – Odyssey review

Odyssey‘s big appeal (for some users, anyway) is the introduction of “on foot” game play – you can now get out of your ship and walk around, providing the planet’s gravity isn’t too strong.  This of course brought with it a new set of engineers and a whole new collection of materials to gather for those engineers.  And the implementation of “space legs” isn’t … seamless.

Elite: Dangerous – Traveling to the Anaconda Graveyard

The “Anaconda Graveyard” is a spot on body 1 C of HD 76133.  It is so named because it was the final destination of a trip from which there was (originally) no returning from during the Distant Stars Expedition in 3303.  Midway into the trip, travelers are required to make a neutron boosted jump into a small cluster of stars some distance from the main body of the galaxy’s stars, from which there is no way for a normal ship to jump out of.  But now, with Fleet Carriers, it’s not an impossible trip to return from.

Long Distance Travel In “Elite: Dangerous”

As I take a break from the return leg of my Grand Tour at Vihara Gate in Kashyapa, I figured I’d touch on some of the methods and decisions a player would need to make if they were going to do long distance travel in Elite: Dangerous.  It all depends on why you’re going, and either way, there’s things you should be aware of before making the trip.

“Elite: Dangerous” – Getting The Most Out Of It+Bot’s Long Term Plans (Grand Tour)

Hopefully this won’t be a horrendously long post … but it probably will be.  Included in this (probably rambling) post will be a list of links with explanations of how those links will help you get the most out of Elite: Dangerous.  The “backdrop” for the post, though, is my current long term plan, which I’m calling “The Grand Tour”.
