@nire@witches.town Yeah um when I go to the DLC page, awoo.space/media/Y0s7oyFp-RnH0

@nire@witches.town Nope, nothing re: horizons in the list, just the base game, solo play, arena, etc.

@nire@witches.town Ekuru B 1, trying to land a Lounge Holdings.

I'm not seeing any indication i have Horizons installed. No launch option given.

Elite Dangerous help request 

@nire@witches.town Yeah, through Steam. Bought the game on sale like a month ago.

@nire@witches.town if I just accepted a mission that needs a $30 DLC with no warning that I couldn't complete it in the stock game, I'm gonna be pretty unhappy :(

Elite Dangerous help request 

@nire@witches.town No? Internet says all ships come with a planetary approach suite by default now? Or is that an implicit "default with Horizons"?

I really really want to be a fan of this game but bullshit like this is just so frustrating.

This game has some serious UX issues, mostly relating to navigation :/

Elite Dangerous help request 

So I got a mission to drop some goods at a surface base and I cannot figure out how to do so, and haven't been able to find a guide.

I can open the planetary map and see the base, and select it, but my HUD only ever shows a target centered on the planet and displays the whole planet as the target.

Hey folks please read people's bios before sending follow requests.

Also I can't connect to the server even though the launcher says server status is okay :(

I kinda like to imagine that custom exhaust colors are the Elite Dangerous equivalent of truck nutz.

When you see "Ye Olde...", for example, that was never meant to be read with a Y sound; the Y is a placeholder for the extinct thorn, and should be read "th".

Here's a fun typography fact for you: Old English and Middle English had a single character for the "th" sound, called thorn. It looked like Þ in the capital; the lowercase is þ.

(If you crossed the upper bar, like so: Ꝥ ꝥ , it was shorthand for "that". "I like ꝥ kitten.")

Thorn largely died out when printing presses were imported to England. Because the typefaces were from Germany or Italy, they didn't have thorn. So they replaced it with a letter ꝥ rarely occurred in the same place þ did: Y.
