I'm with ya tinman...the knashing of teeth over a anticipated release(in stages)...is rather getting boring.
In many interviews the plan was laid out...to be in stages accessed by dlc purchases...unless a LTP owner by whatever method you got it...ie KS,Alpha, PB...if not then buy it if wanted...if you don't no worries...you still play the base elite without the option
for the price stuck people...don't pay...you wont play it...if you want it buy it be happy...if you want to wait for the bargin bin...that's ok too.
I didn't have to do all the work...I get to play it...I'm having fun...and...I got no headaches.
if the game is not what you want...build one, play the one that suites your taste, or move on...its easy...if this caters to some of your taste...enjoy what you like about it...others will do the same.
My question is how many of the complaints come from people that never played a space flight sim(Newtonian or not is not the debate )...or combat sim like stormavik or DCS? if you come from a different genre then perhaps you were looking for something other than what ED is....well this is off topic
Guys peace...not throwing stones...just pragmatic. and optimistic.
Peace and prosperity by any means!!
