The view from a potential customer

it's only shallow if you're not taken in by it's gameworld.

i don't think it's shallow, it's a space trading game...

i already got more out of this game than half of the titles i've bought recently

I think a lot of people agree. Or just look at any of Isinona's game play. Trying getting that depth following yellow exclamation points about. But people seem to want to follow sign posts and get a bit uneasy when everything isn't obvious. I worry that the open universe gets dumbed down because people have an expectation of how things should be.

i find it truly liberating to play this game, like a fish in water. it's what i've been waiting for. i don't care if it's limited right now, but in future we're gonna be able to walk and get onto planets, and really that's good as far as i'm concerned.

the first thing i did when i got the game? jumped to lightspeed in the general direction of the closest ringed gas giant. had to see me some rings. after that? i set course for the edge of the bubble and didn't stop until i had enough for cobra3

the only thing that could make it better is if i can get my buddy in the co-pilot seat of my cobra
 
Not sure why everyone continually makes a judgement based on a beta version released on 27th October.

Why not see what the game is like on release in December and then make a judgement?

More naivety. Elite Dangerous (15/11/2014) = Elite Dangerous (16/12/2014) with more polish.

So why not judge the Elite Dangerous (16/12/2014) with more polish on 16/12/2014 rather than the Elite Dangerous (27/10/2014) testing version as the finished product?

to be fair, they do keep insisting that the entire galaxy and game are finished, and we're just in a bubble, so it'd be fair to base an opinion on the beta for now...
 
Personally I think if you asked FD about the shipyard, a while ago, they would of said it needed polish. The shipyard is brilliant, it's gorgeous. I understand the 'first review' argument. But there are also projects that grind on, waiting a release that never comes, then the project collapses. Get it out, lets play, keep developing.

Is adding more ships polish? Was the shipyard polish? If it is I'd like to see a before and after shot of your shoes dude. Dig out the Beta 3 change list. There was a month between Beta 2 and Beta 3, I think. Similar level of change? Yes please!
