Starlancer and Freelancer etc are good games but ED has more on them than just the galaxy. The flight model is so much better it's not even comparable.
Indeed my biggest fear of star citizen is that the game whilst technically supporting hotas will be built around KB/M controls.

As for EVE.i am not knocking it but it is a game I have zero interest in ever touching again.
ED is not only far from perfect it is also far from what FD pitched... But it is more of a game I want to play than EVE ever will be

Yeah thats how i always played it. Fly with the KB. Big difference between SC and ED ... again its that galaxy. What really separates any flying around dog fight games? Shiny gfx?

KB/M is supported. Do you have a source for your claim?.

Freelancer only supported KB/M and SC feels or did last time I played much like that to me.
I was far more effective on both pad and KB/M than I was with my hotas.
ED each have their one strengths and weaknesses but hotas support has obvious had a lot of love in ED

Being able to take yourself offline doesnt help. Disengaging with everything you dont want to deal with. Shoulda been online only :) maybe then it would compare to eve.

What i dont understand is why so much hostility to the ADS? How can it poissibly be wrong to give the players the choice?

ED clearly trainwrecked in the last year or so. Putting the ADS back in is part of what its going to take to fix it.

Well,that's some weird revisionism,but i guess it's some kind of compliment.And ED still has this galaxy, as far as i am aware.

I agree, considering the game was first pitched in the last century,we've come a long way.

Are you talking about elite 4 the game where we start without a ship and where it was essentially a single player game but with a separate mode for PVP antics (actually possibly not that far from CQC)
Either way.... Personally that would sit well with me. One of the excuses used for no persistence of note and no NPC's of note is because of the MMO nature of the game. A VERY high price was paid for ED being an MMO.
Given EDs biggest strength over EVE imo is that you are not forced to play directly with or against other meat suits it should not surprise you to know I kind of liked that "last century" pitch
