Elite: Game talk

Groo The WandererHello fellow Commanders

I have a question that I'd like some advice on. Recently I've been contemplating changing my platform of choice from Xbox One to PC. I think the experience is better on PC and I've recently gotten my gaming PC out of mothballs. So the question is this. Would it be worth starting over as a pilot (with over 2 billion in credits) or stay put (only a couple ranks away from triple elite). I've unlocked all the ships, gotten all the credits I could use and a selection of ships that I am very happy with. Put If I were just starting with an unlimited bank balance, would that be good compensation... any thoughts??

Cheers and Happy Hunting



It depends on your preferences. On PC you will get slightly more freedom and options (HUD colors customization, another control options, VR, various 3rd party tools, etc.) and better graphics (but it depending on your PC), but basically it is still the very same game. So if it worths the rank grinding again is up to you.


Can confirm. If you have the grunt and a bit of time you can add on ReShade and make the game look really, really nice, plus add a few tweaks like buffing up the planet textures to beyond the normal Ultra settings, and various other things.

Doing my first community gig at LHS 2094....entered Patterson Vision Station with my Conda and the next thing I know my ship is being destroyed saying I murdered someone...I had been on no bounty missions or killed anyone. It was strange for this was my 5th trip. As I entered the station all of a sudden everything stopped..then my ship jumped to the back of the station and that was it....now it shows a 6D dormant bounty. Any words of advice?

Were you speeding?  If you were and hit and killed someone the station calls that murder.

I would check your log and see if it gives a decent message.  If it says  you killed a commander you could be running into a Pilot Federation bountys  Although that might be a PC/Mac only option.

If you are a better player than me you can smuggle the CG stuff in, but I wouldn't try that with an anaconda.  (I'm a broke chicken.)


If you fly some place where the bounty issuing faction does not exist you can just wait the six days.  That's what I would do, but it does drop you out of the CG.

I wanted to keep it, but it was out of the context with the other posts removed, so it may just stay in our minds as a fallen hero.

And I was starting to like that guy...

We might have become best friends.

Nope..I surely hate him.

A bridge be nice. But better make it a draw bridge, just in case. There are times when it's better to just let things rest instead of trying to make the opposition understand. Specially when it's a narrow minded individual who is resistant to facts and unable to visualise themselves into others.

And welcome back o7

Thanks man! It is great to be back! Haha I agree sometimes it’s a lost cause, but I can never help but push a little to see if I can bust down walls and walk someone over to my world view. Not because I’m necessarily right, but because I’m sick... a terribly sick person.

As long as we're not talking Hannibal Lecter sick I guess I can live with that. Brains, gah. Liver and kidneys on the other hand...
