Spent many hours immersed in Elite with my HTC Vive back in the day when the Beyond update dropped. Recently ordered a Bigscreen Beyond to get back into VR. Been needing to finish Alyx and put more hours into the Index wands to justify purchasing them anyhow… What’s new in the past 6 years of Elite Dangerous?
For non-vr players?
There’s a ton of changes that’ve happened over the years, of course. Fleet carriers, ship engineering, fighters, multi-player-crews, thargoid raids, etc.
Depending on when you last played, there’s a shit-ton of stuff in the game that might be new, after all.
I worded that pretty poorly, what I was wondering was if there’s any new stuff to do in VR if I don’t purchase Odyssey. I stopped playing pretty early after Horizons came out, before any of the Thargoid stuff started getting interesting.
FPS gameplay is the opposite of what I would find interesting in E:D, so I probably wouldn’t be getting that expansion if I started playing again.
