The most reliable way to make money is trading, it can get boring but it's really the most consistent. Mining is really cool, but if you want to make a ton of money doing it you'll need a bigger ship. Some people go way far out, and do it for months at a time. You can do it right in the middle of the bubble. You can do all of those things, whenever you want.Įxploration is probably the least profitable of those options, or I guess takes the longest to make a ton of money, buy you don't have to go thousands of light years out, to do it. Also there's a bunch of great links/info in this thread on things, plus all kinds of info/videos on the Internet and YouTube, that are extremely helpful.Īs far as what you should do, it's really up to you. “With DX10 (fewer than 2% of players) it is more tricky as you may need to upgrade the graphics card on such machines.Watch that video, that helped me tremendously before I started. Some of these machines are capable of running Win64 (ie the hardware would support it),” Braben adds. “About 0.5% of players that have installed Elite Dangerous have used their game on Win32 at some time. Dropping these two would help us support high end effects with a better result – to make the game better.” “As you know, we support leading edge technology like 4K, 8K, VR, and with things like compute shaders in Horizons we really push the boundaries overall, but there are restrictions with Win32 – particularly the amount of memory we can address at one time – and with DX10 in terms of requiring an alternative rendering solution in our code. “As you know we spend a good deal of time planning for the future, and one issue (and opportunity) we are considering is the effect of supporting Win32 and DX10, and the benefits we would get if we were to drop them,” Frontier’s David Braben writes on the Elite: Dangerous forums. Frontier admits that it is considering dropping Win32 and DX10 from Elite: Dangerous in order to improve the game’s high-end experience. One thing that could be absent in future updates, though, is 32-bit and DirectX 10 support. Update 2.3 – The Commanders – is expected before the end of the year, and will bring with it player avatars, customisable pilots, multi-crew ships, and buddy flying:

Elite: Dangerous players who have access to the Horizons season of updates or existing beta access will be able to download The Guardians now.

The new update – dubbed The Guardians – introduces dual flying, ship-launched fighters, and a mysterious alien race. The 2.2 update for Frontier’s massive space sim Elite: Dangerous has entered beta access as of today (20 th September).
