I started playing Elite:Dangerous again yesterday which I’ve not done in a long while.

I was completely underwhelmed by landing on a planet. This is probably because I, for some reason, chose the most boring arse planet in the entire galaxy to land on. Oh look, a featureless beige desert, how wonderful!

In fairness, there is some cool new stuff. Horizons does look like it might be fun, but really I need to stop doing space trucking and start getting back into the missions. Powerplay could be good, but Tim reckons there is a ton of cash to be made on some smuggling missions, so I’ll give that a go first.

Certainly it does appear that the game’s depth is increasing quite nicely and now I’ve got it all set up again with the voice recognition (which, incidentally was badly misbehaving) and trade tools and whatnot, I suppose I’ll be playing again for a while – just not to death like I did before so I get burned out.
