Alot of people were expecting this to be a "GTA in space". That and while S.C. has ship interiors and other things while this game has got a vast space grinder.
I remember when Elite actually was looking alot better than S.C., all S.C. gotta do now is flesh out the bugs and they're set. I know one has got better funding but the matter of fact is that this game isn't looking like 160$ worth like some of us spent (and more), only ones who aren't complaining are ones who bought the life expansion passes. Also people don't care about who has more money they care about which is the better game, and some will try to say that they are different games in their respect (which is very true) but they ARE competing.
Funny, last time I checked, SC did not have a game, just a fantasy. The $160 you spent on ED does not even buy you a fancy ship in SC.
In my opinion the season three of this game will either make or break this game, because I've seen the "roadmap" of season two and it just adds up to a "meh". I really do hope this game gets better because it's got such a good foundation but I'm thinking Braben is stuck in the eighties or something. I say this because the game really is "Elite" with all the graphics Braben wanted to have on the original one. This is coming from an ex-fanboy of elite dangerous who used to scuff at the "detractors" on this forum.
Another doom and gloom sayer - good that nobody cares about your opinion. ED is getting better with each major update. By the end of 2017, when SC might be released (just might), ED will offer a lot more than today. The roadmap is for 10 years, we are in year 2 and FD has kept to the roadmap so far. So you knew about your "meh" up front and could just have elected not to buy the game. Having the old Elite with fancy graphics was the starting point, the rest will come over the years.
Good Luck Frontier, I'll see you in season three(hopefully with something to make up for season two).
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You might want to boot up SC and ogle your fancy ship that you can't even fly.
