Frontier is a company and they want your money, as does SC even more blatantly so.

Just pay how much you can afford and play the game or choose not to.

Do not expect a one price and level playing field.

Elite is an experience, not a score board and space is so big that you may never meet that many other players and you can choose to play solo or just with friends groups, so stop all the illogical whining.

It's not just about money there are more lucrative industries. David is computer gamer and he has managed to weave that into being able to earn a living from his passion.

On your second point sounds like life. This is a good point. The ED world sounds richer no pun intended for it. As long as it is not totally unbalanced. I'm just Cobra backer.

The more commercially successful Elite is the more the scope of the game an increase. If there are no more customers don't expect all sorts of add ons. Games programmers etc have to be paid salaries not Mars bars and soda anymore.

Agreed, and I think the scale of space, police and bounties and putting consistent greifers in there own greifers instances will balance the game.

SC is probably the most overhyped game ever created.

He is, I think.

I hope that SC will be a success, but for me it's very much a case of wait and see. Their ship designs are very form over function and rule-of-cool, which doesn't work for me :/

I do have an LTI 325a waiting for me, just incase the game turns out to be good. I'm looking forward to my Federal Trader Cobra much more though :cool:

If that's the case, how come you still use miles? Imperial Units stink :D

Sorry, just couldn't resist :p

American. Born in California. I did look that up though, I had a feeling he was American but had he been British I wouldn't exactly have been surprised.

SC dismays me - i will definitely play it as ive put money into it since it began but i dont like how they are they allowing certain P2W features into the game like buying ingame cash for real money and such.

I too will be playing a lot more ED i think.

Having said that SC is a smaller entity in size and that will present a different game experience to ED so who knows. I can see it being run largely by Big player corporations ala EVE online though which might harm the game from the perspective of the casual player.

He grew up in Manchester (which explains why you wouldn't be surprised if he'd been British, I guess :)). His brother Erin is still UK-based and is in charge of Squadron 42.

Well, that explains that... Maybe I should have looked a bit closer rather than just looking where he was born :p

SQ42 is the main reason i want to play this game now.

It's really kind of odd how they don't focus a bit more on that. I mean, they do talk about it, but most of the focus is always on Star Citizen. They make it feel like SQ42 is just this side-project they occasionally work on (OK, maybe a bit extreme) rather than a complete singeplayer/coop campaign with a studio dedicated to developing it.
