I have had one of those lazy days you have after a night of gaming. Well last night was my first real chance to check out Elite Dangerous after its release on Tuesday. Having been playing the beta version for about a month I didn't expect much of a change and didn't receive any surprises. It was good of Frontier in not wiping players data with the release of the full game. I Would have hated to have to start all over again as the craft I have, after some upgrades, a good one. Plus I have made a small profit from simple exploring with a bit of trading thrown in. My hope is to get to the point where I can get a Cobra Mk III again. As you will know I did have one for about a week in the beta's. Sadly I lost that due to a wipe when trials moved to the gamma stage. Well no loss of progress this time round but it will take some to earn enough for the Cobra. In the meantime I shall improve the craft I have as much as I can to let me explore further into the galaxy.
I begun the second story last weekend. In reality it is connected to the first one but a lot further on in the tale. How you get from the first on to the second part to be written I haven't figured out yet. Maybe I never will though I hope I do as it does seem like a good tale to tell. It gives that feeling you get when you know you have good idea. Of course turning good ideas into something takes work and that is something that this story needs,
Christmas is racing fast towards us and this year I find I am looking forwards to it. I usually can't wait for it to be over with. Maybe this year it is because I will have four days off of work because of the way the it falls this year. What ever the reason I am sort of happy to see the festive season this year. I hope you all have a great time during the holidays.
