I like...
- The very immersive cockpit. It's really well done. I especially like the damage effects, it reminds me of a modern version of the X-wing vs Tie Fighter cockpit where bits exploded. My favourite part of this is when the canopy gets blown out and takes parts of the HUD with it and your RemLock helmet comes on, that's awesome, only game that's made me want to get VR.
- Paint peeling off the ship with use. I didn't know it was a thing in the game until I was tootling around in an SRV and noticed some little black marks. I assumed at first it was part of the ship painjob already and just noticed it for looking cool. Then a while later I thought maybe there was more marks, possibly... and then later, more... wait... is the paint chipping off!!! OMG.
- The sound of the Multi-cannons firing.
- The way the scoop/landing gear and weapons deploy, it feels very solid, and often I use the external camera just to see it happen.
- The directional engine cowlings on the Cobra (not sure if other ships do similar). Very nice little touch.
- I can pick a direction and just keep going.
- The sound effect when you're under OC for a planet and not in SC, the hull ticks and shudders, so awesome.
And lastly for this list, but certainly not least - The mystery. The Formidite rift mystery particularly is what got me to come back and give Elite another go and the UA/UP/Barnacles/Thargoid Return is what's keeping me playing. Can't say I've been disappointed.
I'd love to hear what things you like about Elite Dangerous...
P.S. This thread is for positive stuff, hopefully the devs will read it and see that we as players appreciate stuff they've worked hard on.
