Its would be like saying star wars and star trek are the same. They are not. While the setting is the same, space, the feel, the atmosphere, the design is very different. That is a different approach to the genre. I am sure if/when space legs comes out I am sure it will also have a very different feel/atmospher to it.
Does anyone else feel like Beyond is a graceful exit strategy ?

Playing Elite for the story is like eating Hostess Fruit pies for the story.
Because anyone can provide a "dream" but very few actually make it a "reality".
Difference is, one is tangible while the other isn't. Period.
Yep...and one of the ships in the other game was delivered to purchasers without doors...
Convertible sports model. Vroom.
One has been released as an actual playable game for over 4 years and the other's still an "Alpha" 5 years later?
So, development status and nothing else. That's what I thought.
Oh No
Did they get a refund?
For a purchase price of $100 real money..I'd demand a refund if it were me.
Modern Star Wars and Modern Star Trek are basically the same type of extruded space Fantasy product and they both cater to the same audiences. And they are both directed by the same man.
Original Star Trek and Star Wars? Ok yes very different. I'll also say that the Frontier games and the Wing Commander games were very different game with very different approaches. ED and SC? Not so much. Just different scope and budget, but basically the same kind of game.
thats so sad
but they will get more developed rigs hopefully
more expensive, but with doors
Convergent evolution is fairly common. A Cat's claw and a raptor's beak have very similar designs and do very similar jobs, but started as very different things.
Audience feedback similarly encourages the best bits of each franchise to be implemented in both.
The existing content from the store isn't free to LEP, so it can't be that. Hopefully not the voice stuff!
Premium content I strongly think is new game play elements. Using "Paid expansions" would have cleared up a lot of ambiguity.
After Horizons, Beyond is a good direction. Improve the core game play, and give confidence back to the player base. If Beyond is executed well, the more likely existing players will buy future expansions.

I'm going to guess voice packs will be Frontier Store items, alongside the paint packs and ship kits, completely separate from the announced premium content. Having said that, if they do they will need to figure out how to let people preview the voices first.
That is because sc isnt the successor to wc, that is sq42.
I'll be picking up Wing Commander and its sequel on the SNES. Never played them as a kid since I was more of a NES kid then got into computers after that. Will also be picking up Elite for the NES, provided it'll work on my top loader, which I hear isn't region specific.
I'm not interested in Star Citizen; seems rather cultish to me and a scam to milk whales for pixel DLC bling packages. Just saying. To each their own though.

An nothing of Brabens dream has become tangible beyond the basic flight. Nor have fdev even TRIED to realize it. Too busy with numbers grinding Tedium.
Must get awfully wet with all that rain from the cloud over your head. Wish I had an umbrella to offer you.

Well, the COMPLETELY blew it with RNGineers overhaul. Just shifted the Tedium round a bit...
Not a good start.
