How can you not love this game and Frontier

They're implementing content?
I suppose if you count bolt ons that barely interact with the existing game content, then yeah, they've done some things...
Yes, or do you not do anything in game?
I jump from star to star and left click until the ADS finishes scanning. When I feel particularly adventurous, I fly towards one of the yellow circles and let the detail scanner do its thing.

This is an interesting comment for me from the dev's. That suggests the PG already has a height map in game. I wonder how much infrastructure for Planet Landing is actually already in 1.3
Yep I love the thrill of ironman mode! It's dangerous, but I can always hire some AI buddies to help me and my crew as I ferry fee-paying passengers to their destinations. If things get a bit too hairy I can hyperjump through a dark system, and hope none of the persistent AI blighters follow me. If they do I can always try to talk and reason with them. I've got a Panther Clipper anyway - so I should be safe! I have been running it on low quality fuel though - so the drive could malfunction! I'll write up the adventure in my pilot's log, but I need to thing of a good name for my ship first! Toodle-pip, got to plot a jump in the orrery.

I agree entirely.
Elite is a rather good game with rather deep character flaws.
The trouble is that many of those character flaws simply don't exist in other online multiplayer games. Look at pve - WoW has it's dungeons, GW2 has dynamic events, puzzles, and the like, and TOR has decent storyline missions. Why are all of Elite's missions so dull by comparison? If you compare the raw content available in Elite to the raw content available in nearly any other online game, elite loses by a mile.
And yet the core gameplay in Elite is good. Very good. Flying your ship is a visceral experience, as are the limited forms of player interaction (pvp, piracy, murder, etc.). Most online games take a rather poor point and click interface with tab targeting and try to build a game around them - every now and then creating something fun. Elite has an amazingly fun core system, but it's like they didn't even try to put in content for it.

Elite reminds me of The Emperors New Clothes in a lot of ways.
