A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Elite Is a space flight economics simulator.

Fly around buy here sell there look at stuff for fun and get into battles

Great game but you will want a hotas set up if you really get into it

I keep trying to get into Elite but it never clicks for me. I was flying around earlier trying to dock into a station but everyone was refusing me so I closed the game. I’ll probably look up a new players guide before giving it another attempt later.

Was it Elite Dangerous? Stations grant docking clearance if you're within range when you request it; I think it's about 7500 meters. Check out the in-game the tutorials. One of them teaches this.

If they were playing online, it's likely all of the pads were full. You can either wait for someone to leave, or super cruise out and back in to load a new instance with available pads.

Unfortunately it was due to being “friends only.” Player fleet I guess? I just couldn’t figure out how to filter them out before I got there and kept coming across them.

That range one caught me out once but I figured that one out since it tells you to come closer. I’m going to take that tutorial suggestion though. Cheers!

Ah... Yes, it was most likely a fleet carrier, then. Those are owned by players, and not always open to the public.

Hotas?

Like el_psd said flight sim gear.

Ideally one with rotation in the stick too.

I have the A10 Warthog set up but have to screw around for side thrusters because they're replicas of the A10 warthog controls which obviously doesn't have side thrusters.

You can play without it all but it does make flying more fun and imersive and afterall thats what it's all about
