I must have clocked up over 10,000 hours in a life time playing Frontier games. I've got over 3,000 now in Elite Dangerous got knows how much I played Elite II and First Encounters during 90s then in the noughties with mods. I kind of accepted a while back Elite won't ever be perfect but its still mind blowing and an amazing game. I just think David Braben never really knew the technical difficulties the dev team have had and probably expected development to be so much quicker. We're only just starting to get some of the fantastic features he sold us in the Kickstarter. Firmly believe this game still has year in it despite the doom sayers.
Oh yeah and lets not forget there's Planet Coaster too!
