Holy smokes! I absolutely blitz most npcs with even level 2 engineered multicannons. I used to struggle against even expert craft, but last night, I took out 2 FAS with my Python mk2, one deadly and the other expert, in like less than a minute. And i had upgraded my thrusters to dirty drives and i just flew circles around them.

I knew engineering was strong, but this is wild. Honestly, the only thing that gave me trouble were high ranked snub craft, like the Vulture.

I've been feeling the itch for the good ol' Freelancer experience and I know Elite can deliver on that, but I always find myself having trouble getting into it vs. something like Star Sector or Delta V: Rings of Saturn. I'm curious - do you play with controller, kb+m, flight stick/HOTAS? I've heard E:D can be played reasonably comfortably with controller, which has my interest.

Edit: Oh yeah, how's the landing and planet exploration? I've heard mixed things, would you recommend the DLC personally?

Get the dlc, not for it's content, but because the wider community plays on that 'server'.

If you are playing in Horizons, and someone else is in Odyssey, they would have to close the game and switch to Horizons to play with you

Boooo, just about the worst possible revelation, but 100% the only answer to the question that really matters. Thank you!

It's on sale right now, and worth the price IMHO.
