Yeah there's definitely pay-to-win over there... thinking about how that works makes the anger shown over the 50 percent insurance thing hysterical.

Let not pretend shall we, as we all knows that Braben & Bell is the Grandfather of computer space sim. Most American never heard of Spectrum until the internet came out and remember that everything is overhype and insanely expensive whereever it come or made in America and this is the reason why Commodore 64 cut it price by more than half to attract customers, thanks to our spectrum 48k and Clive Sinclair.
As for ED bashing in SC forum.. I have never been there and not interest or planning to.

The main ED topics in the SC forum have mostly been pretty complimentary since the alpha release to be fair, there's only a small number of detractors.

Honestly, the SC community isn't as great as most of the ED is (with exceptions like OP), but I never read ED bashing there. Maybe I read the wrong topics but it's definitly not one of the top topics there.
There is more EVE comparision and what they dislike about it.
I´m just a "fanboi" of Kickstarter campaigns which treat their backers well

The flight mechanics did seem odd. The ships seemed to act as though they had no inertia. They didn't feel like hulking mechanical objects moving through space, more like plastic models being flipped around on strings.
yeah
now go fix the game so us beta players can have a smooth sailing hehe.back to Sc i gotta say im not really impressed by what i saw
but i always loved he's old games and think sc is gonna be a great game, we are gonna have 2 YEAH! i think they are gonna fix/tweak it when it goes alpha over a while.
but what im really worried about is the pvp/guild in sc That's what i think can be a gamebreaker or way to much Eve stile.
sounds like theres no room for solo play in that world i might be wrong havent been following to closely lately.
I have said (somewhere on this forum recently) let's not have an "us and them" attitude ... we are ONE community.
Peace & Love

Interesting how this thread has grown so fast.
Anyway, I don't really like to judge a game engine feel by looking at videos, and SC is still in (pre)alpha - it still has a long way to go, and by the looks of the demo, quite a long way.
From the video, it looks to me that is more arcade styled than ED, aligned with the promised "WWII fighters in space". Some interesting HUD and design options, quite some will naturally need some work. Btw, from the rather short observation of current in development space sims, Limit Theory seems to have the most innovative designs (not necessarily better, but...).
Finally, I already disliked the Hornet looks (fugly) - but looking at it in 3rd person mode with the player inside is just... ridiculous looking ship

You mean like i'm not gonna start Elite Dangerous with an Cobra because i didn't pay enough.
You didn't start Frontier Elite II with a Cobra unless you chose the Lave start. You had the Saker MkIII or the Eagle MkI ... the only reason you started Elite with a Cobra was that it was the only ship you could fly.
Im sorry to bring this to your attention *hugs* nope..
Sorry ....... The cobra is for ED fanboys only... you need to get a Braben tattoo if you want to fly it.. its the rules...
I will lend you my cobra sir.... just keep your shields down and I'll open the hatch and you can jump in...
Say outside Barnard's Star station?
how does this look any different except, less orange?

how is that more or less "arcade styled"?

I think the reasoning is : Elite Dangerous use a lot of orange colors and so does the marketing for the Battlefied games and the Battlefild games are super realistic ..right?.. so Elite dangerous is more realistic.
So everything without orange colors is arcade styled..
You logic makes a lot of sense until someone (me) points out that Elite Dangerous has been criticised for being "too arcadey".
Hmm ... guess orange ain't everything.
I can play that game : I thought it was down to the fact that unicorn blood was purple .. and purple is a kind of spoon shaped object .. and we all know that anything that isn't a spoon must be good .. right ?
I think the solution is MORE ORANGE!!!
Newest ED screenshot.
Sorry, not orangey enough.
