Have you tried ED or NMS then? They also have such. With the added bonus of being a lot more stable with a lot more content!
If you like SC, then you should love other games that deliver the same things plus more!
With the added benefit of actually being released, so you don't need to defend any bugs and issues. You can actually be critical of any issues, rather than shill for the devs!
I've played a bit of no man's sky, and it just doesn't grab me. It's a bit too cartoony and honestly feels like a poor man's Minecraft with ships that fly like a free look camera.
I've played loads of Elite, I've done the exploring, found undiscovered life, experienced the big set pieces (hyper diction, core mining), and made and finished every single ship to my desired design (except ironically my corvette, which is missing a few bits of engineering and fine tuning but is already so OP already is there any point - speed build vette FTW btw). I even got the DLC computer voice for my armour tank T10.
I find it absolutely hilarious that ED community is SO salty about star citizen. The eee is so bad people need to self censor the board lest it damages the fragile outlook in their mind (a clear sign of cope)
Also I don't know if it's just because of when I started playing SC but I've not experienced much in the way of bugs.
I've experienced landing zones taking a while to load in when I respawn (causing death once as I just stormed out of the door and fell)
And I've experienced a couple of glitches with quantum travel - either the routing glitching and the ship taking a strange and slow route, spinning out when exiting supercruise, and on one occasion, I dropped out of quantum when it was 'navigation' glitching in space and had to do so by powering off my ship, at which point it spun out and blew up.
The not loading glitches are game breaking - but honestly, the QT ones I don't mind.
It's very very rare and it genuinely doesn't feel game breaking - despite being a software glitch in the game, it feels to me, like a glitch in the quantum drive tech in my ship.
A bit like how the guns in the absolutely amazing Far Cry 2, will occasionally jam mid fire fight.
I'm sure people will try and say that's 'cope' or 'making excuses' but it's not.
I paid £60 for the game, I'm happy with what I got for it, and would recommend the game to others.
