Naturally if you feel this thread is of no value and the topic doesn't warrant further conversation, feel free to complain about it in hopes that it'll be closed as well.
For the rest of us, as per the actual topic of the thread: How do you think things are going so far? Is the game all that you had hoped and expected it to be by now? And, what is your outlook for the potential of the game going forward?
Personally, I certainly expected more "premium" expansions by now or their equivalent, but I'm in it for the long haul either way and want the most for the game and my enjoyment of it. In that sense the comparatively significant price of my purchase of all future expansions with the Horizons announcement LEP in 2015 in addition to Elite: Dangerous earlier that year is somewhat written off anyway. Perhaps a lesson in living and learning, but I did expect more from Frontier at the time, though more wasn't actually guaranteed.
From my perspective at least, the Horizons release was awesome and did a lot to further flesh out the galaxy in which we care to play as Commanders in the Pilots Federation in 33XX. There was so much potential there, and it seemed to just be the beginning. Since then content expansion has seemed to have been more focused on the MMO gameplay progression meta and ease of access aspects of the game, i.e., not really what I was hoping for, though I suppose a nice QoL and gameplay incentive for some.
Don't get me wrong, I think the galactic sim and sci-fi setting are otherwise second to none, and I commend Frontier for their triumph in those regards. For the bulk of my LEP now though, it's been several years since then where I'm left wanting more of the potential of the game to be fulfilled.
This is why I bought the LEP.
