For those that haven't played X3.
You can train Mercs and Board other Ships
You can build your own stations, reverse engineer and build your own ships
You can drop off sensors in a system and real time its data to you without the need to visit a webpage whilst in VR
Pilots for your currently unused ships, so that they could be used on cargo runs, or help out in a fight.
A whole host of game play mechanics that ED is still missing out on.
Every single time I sent my marines over to a board a new Hyperion (best ship be far) my heart was in my mouth.
The control of stock and ships made it fun to play and micro manage, whilst ED hasn't raised my heart rate about normal since I bought my Cutter.
I love Elite and want to love it more, and if most of the above could be done 14 years ago why can't the FD Devs pull it off ?
