When would *you* consider Elite Dangerous "complete"?
Technically Elite is a complete game, but it's an incomplete vision in its current form. I'm sure the developers and players have their idea of when its finished...
But at what point do you consider Elite Dangerous a complete package where anything else is just a bonus?
I personally feel atmospheric planets, space legs at least on the ship and parts of bases, and planets with minor life, water etc. would be the minimum I'd need to see before I think Frontier has completed my vision for the game.
Bonuses: Aliens, Earthlike, Gas Giants, Full Spacelegs with a shooting mechanic, Volcanism, Trees, Animals, Home bases, Giant cities etc.
I think with consoles, and maintaining a reachable minimum spec on PC, we're not going to see a lot of rendering of trees, plants, animals, volcanoes, giant cities etc. Atmospheric planets are going to be hard enough with the lighting tech and volumetric fog and clouds, as well as drastic terrain variations. If they achieve something like that, I think that's a good end cap to their game.
