Welcome back to the forums :) Still not played ED yet?

I have played it on a very limited basis, but I will hold out until some of the bugs are worked out and some of the gameplay is implemented. It's still in early Beta as far as I am concerned, regardless of the Xmas cash grab "release". I know that online games never really get finished, but there is such a thing as taking the michael (no offence meant Mr Brookes).
 
Maybe not even close to final. But I'm glad I can play it *right now*.

Pretty much this. I'm exploring, can't land on planets, can't get out and take REAL pictures, can't even clean my windows. But I'm playing and having fun and glad I can play it.

Reluctantly... I'd have to agree. Half the time something or other is bugged for me, whether that be the laborious missions - orcas bearing a pirate's name (but not bounty) - or the random spawns (you know, the ones with the same looping dozen lines of dialogue), seeking luxury ships vanishing off into the either the moment I come bearing gifts. It's all too flimsy.

And NPC's? _A total cakewalk_. More chore than challenge after you've picked off the first few dozen. Neverending conflict zones that pay pennies and have little impact? Why bother?

The truth is, we'll all be summoned to pay for the content that will really flesh out the game (alien invasions etc.). Wings may be on the near horizon, but it's something that should've been included from the get go -- it's a multiplayer game for gorram's sake. Besides, I, like countless others, play mostly on my lonesome, so it's not like i'm waiting for it with baited breath. Same goes for 'community goals', which sports features we were all duped into believing were already in place.

It's all fine and well to say 'come back in 6 months time', but it's an opportunity missed tbh. In 6 months time i'll have moved onto the next shiny thing filled with promises.

Expect planetside pew pew, if it ever sees the light of day, to be just as much of a skeleton.

Look at it as an early access game that can only get better. One day it will be a classic piece of software.

Yes -- let's delude ourselves.

Sorry - I let my frustrations get the better of me.

Some people have a higher boredom threshold than others, or are more easily amused. That's not a criticism of them, just how things are. I require more than (what I perceive as) some broken bits of game hastily slung together to light my gaming fire.
