Elite Dangerous on Lemmy @lemmy.ml biofaust @lemmy.world Just bought the game yesterday and I feel like I am going to play for a very long time.

Hello everyone, brand new commander here. I have just bought and installed the game yesterday and it is really a pleasure and an eye-candy on my 4K monitor. Finished the first training and the first mission in Dromi.
I am playing with mouse and keyboard for now. But cannot exclude buying a flight controller for this and other games in the near future.
Please advise in general on anything that may be useful to a newbie, but here are a few questions:
- How much of a campaign is there? I heard the real pleasure is in getting lost, but it would still be interesting to see if any story is there.
- How much of a multiplayer experience is (left) in there? I could see names that sounded "human-given" in the Ext.Comm. screen but didn't really understand.
- Am I ruining my experience significantly by playing without a flight stick? I don't think I will buy a huge HOTAS set, but if I can get an extremely good experience

Elite Dangerous on Lemmy @lemmy.ml JustCopyingOthers @lemmy.ml Feels like an outpost
At the moment, using lemmy feels a bit like docking at one of those outposts somewhere between Colonia and the bubble. There's not much here yet, but you know its going to grow.
