Elite: Dangerous - Team Play Ideas

[Twyst]

Sadly tonight didn't work for me as for the most part I could only see Sneaky and Arithon, and only they could see me.
I flew through oldie and nothing happened - we were supposed to be right in front of sneaky. I shot at Foster Research Station and I think only two people saw the action.

So the grouping needs some work before release.

On the plus side the game runs fantastic 1440p and looks good.
My Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS key binds found here work very nicely - I was just getting the hang of the layout towards the end of the session.
It really helps to print out the cheat sheet as well.

Bother, only just seen this. Next time!

It was fun but not exactly smooth! The fact we all weren't in the same instance was annoying.

We can try again after the next update and see if things are more stable.

Had fun, despite the expensive damage to my ship (ouch) and the network instance issues.

3.04 now up and running after a complete install. Only had one disco in a 2hour mining shift,
for me that's amazing.
Hopefully, will be at the next meet.

Hopefully, will be at the next meet.

If we can actually see each other

Vids were perfect on my PC, seem to need a bit of refreshing on YouTube.

Very nice work. More effort has gone into this than my ad hoc effort. I like.

[Twyst]

Did anyone ticket the not seeing each other issue when we tried this?

[albert]

I was browsing on the open issues and it's like the 2nd most ticketed issue that is annoying everyone. I think they are aware of it and another ticket will just mean it lies for 2 weeks.

It should be much better in Beta 3.9.

From David Braben's Q&A yesterday as posted by Arithon earlier.

It'll be interesting to see whether this is stability and group consistency or actual identification and location improvements. I feel the game needs an easier way to find our group members in battle.
