I was thinking the other day that if you take Star Citizen in its current state (as of today it is Alpha 3.10) and add only ONE more feature - procedurally generated start systems (planets, moons, stations etc). Then you release it as as retail, you will have 50% more content/features than ED.
is that a fair statement?
I am sure I missed something but I think I got the major stuff.
Don't get me wrong. I love ED and I think it's a great space sim but its only saving grace is the fact that SC will never see the light of day. If SC was released today, I foresee ED player base to shrink to a size of an English green pea.
I hope and pray that Odyssey will show me that I am so wrong about the future of ED.
