Thanks for the input!

15x2 EURO was the path I had in mind, also.

Guess will wait a bit more and start with new features already included. As weird as this may sound, I am most curious about the new planet 'sounds' they came up with. Smile

(too bad Space Engine and this game won't somehow merge into a spectacular new game)

I don't understand much out of these NEW features you 'veteran' Elite players are delighted about.

But I've been wanting to try this game for some time now. Maybe this would be a good moment.

Is there any pack that includes Horizons and the MAIN game at a cheaper price than Steam or Frontier one (~25+25 EURO)?


I wouldn't recommend the game unless you are ready for a big grind.

The main enjoyment you can get from this game is the combat system which is against AI 99.9% of the time, preferably coop with your friends.

This is because the game world is mostly dead and any interesting PVP interactions died years ago along with the community.

It has nice atmosphere and some other interesting points but that only holds so long as you are grinding.

You can actually appreciate the game world a lot more in Virtual Reality, its one of the best looking games in VR, the problem is putting on a VR headset and grinding for 6 hours isn't comfortable and is a waste of time as you can't watch your favourite TV show while you grind endlessly.

Best thing to do is watch a Youtube video on how people get credits generally, then look at how much a decent ship costs.

More or less. I suspect they didn't expect quite such a high login rate - looks like a lot of players are coming back to check out the new features.

Exploration absolutely ROCKS btw. (ignore anyone who says otherwise, they just don't like having to actually put some effort in...)

I will probably pick up the season pass finally this weekend while it is $7.50 as it seems pretty mandatory for the game and now that I know they don't plan a second season pass hopefully this will be enough to fully enjoy the game.

I think they're planning from now on paid expansions. Mostly 'cheap' ie. few new things for couple of €/$, which of course overtime is probably going to be much more than a season pass Razz

Or ignore those who say the exploration is good now. New mechanics for exploring the same USSs and the same dead planets that are constantly being repeated between systems is not exactly my idea of good content. Not counting the new lighting system where it seems that the game was washed and discolored. But there are those who like it.

Yeah I read something similar with smaller paid and free DLCs in the future but at this point I think with the season pass alone it would feel like a full game for me as so much feels locked behind the Horizon stuff that it kind of put me off playing with just the base game.

Been meaning to try this for some time and I do have the PC for it now too. It's on sale right now, but I genuinely don't know if I'll like it or not. I've always wanted to get into a game like this, but a lot of them seem to me like they're way too complex. I mostly just want to explore the galaxy and find cool planets and phenomenons, maybe have some dogfights between them. Does this game do that well? Will I be forced a lot into other stuff like trading and political nonsense and what not?

The political stuff is completely optional. The new exploration mechanics allow you to do exactly what you just said, although please don't expect new and interesting stuff in every system - a lot are like real galaxy stuff probably is - borking empty planets with nothing unusual. But there ARE things to find, some have been already and apparently there is much more.

Dogfights are especially good now with the new missions that give a 'kill everything in waves' type thing - you need to fill a bar for example, or like battlefield with the kill the other team to win type environments.

I would wholeheartedly give it a go - now. It's definitely an improvement - but you WILL need to put some time into making money to be able to buy the slightly better ships. Exploration is good for cash now, and also mining is MUCH better now for money.

Cool, will probably buy it in the morning. Should I get the deluxe edition? That one is €12, while the normal game is just €6, is it worth the double price? Speaking of price, it seems low enough to me, but should I wait a bit more still, you think it will drop more than this?

The Horizons Seasons pass is at its historic low currently on Steam as its previous low was 60% off. It is the main reason I finally broke down and got it as the base game feels really crippled without owning the season pass.

Well, I got the game and played a bit. I... like it, but I am incredibly overwhelmed, not really sure what to do in it for a start, heh. I also did the training missions, except for the advanced combat one, couldn't get through it. Sad

Everybody's overwhelmed for quite a bit until they've got a fair bit of time into it, that's normal. Unfortunately, the training missions (even now that they've revamped them), don't do a very good job beyond introducing you to the barest of essentials.

Honestly, the best way to learn is to jump in feet first and make all the mistakes yourself. Seriously. Worst comes to worst you can wipe your Commander and start again. Eventually, there will come a point where it will just "click". I do recommend playing in Offline or Private mode first, to avoid all the tards' though, at least until you're comfortable.

There's also plenty of threads/newbie videos on the official forums if you're really confused about a particular topic such as navigation/trading/planetside landing, that sort of thing.

It's one of those games where you'll get out of it how much you put into it. It certainly has enough content now to last you a few hundred hours, until you start seeing past the carefully constructed mirage of its depth.

I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

If you wipe your character and start again, do all the bonus items and such become available for the new character?

I have no idea. When I played there were no "bonus" or pre-order items. I think anything you buy from their cash shop in terms of ship skins is bound to your account and not your character, but I'm not fully certain on this.

Let me know what you think about this after a couple of hours. I'm interested in this game, as well as X4 Foundations, but I haven't played something like this in many years.
I'm not looking for a shallow experience, but I also don't feel like putting in 20-something hours to understand the basics.

There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
