Any Elite: Dangerous/Horizons pilots here?

Anyone else play Elite: Dangerous/Horizons?

For those who don't know what it is; it's a MMO/flight sim in the Milky Way galaxy in which you are a pilot of a space craft. Each craft has it's strengths and weaknesses allowing you to do anything from bounty hunting to trading or exploring.

It's a very immersive game and if you go the trading route some have nicknamed it "Euro Truck simulator in space".

I myself am a Bounty hunter in a Viper working up towards the Vulture.

Cobra here, selling my stuff to gear up and start moving rimward.

I'll be damned if I don't find myself some alien tentacles.
When the voice from the shadows calls you
When the wind whips past your ears
Will you stand when the weight is upon you
Or will you go to your knees in fear?

The game's a bit pricey for me, and I don't think my computer has the specs for it. Maybe the laptop I'm getting around Summer will.

Cool thing about it though, it's Oculus Rift compatible (Yayyyyyy), so the day I hit a gold mine, I buy Oculus Rift and Elite:Dangerous, and I go exploring the rim.

Any explorer ships capable of long-distance travel and combat-worthy? In space games I usually go fighter, but I think a more corvette-like ship would be better for solo exploring and fighting.

I have the all new cheese wedge (starting ship) with BB guns.. I'm literally a space hobo. I power my ship with friction from my socks.
There's a larva in my boot!
