Ok. Was part of the beta testing.... tried Powerplay then and now gaming it for real.
I've decided to keep with my independent behaviour and as with not ranking up with the major factions, I've not pledged to a power either.
The mission list is better and pays more
Interdictions are more dangerous for traders
combat is a proper challenge now
Supercruise is a rich place full of comms, stuff to do and all sorts of goings on.
The markets appear to have settled and are working well.
The updated fine and bounty system is much better. I have had 4 or 5 local fines, had to tread carefully until I paid them off. Got a huge fine for smuggling, paid that off, too. Was wanted after hunting at a nav beacon... waited that out and paid my dues just fine. We, finally have the concept of 'Offender' by another name!
The variety of ships is more interesting, too.
The galnet feed feels more alive, the whole of populated space feels like something bigger is going on out there.
It all feels very like original Elite.
Good job, guys and gals!
