On a positive note

Everybody has their gripes and so do I, but as someone who has been playing this game for about two days, I'd like to say something on a positive note -- THE POTENTIAL IS THERE for this game to be fantastic. It has the structure to be an awesome game. The biggest pitfall is for Frontier to slow down production of their larger, more milestone-esque updates, adding large features, etc. If they can keep up with this and keep introducing large, new features at a fair rate, in another year's time, I think this game could be amazing. Thoughts?

As most people are saying, true -op play and system-wide chat functionality would be a good start...

The game's already incredibly awesome. The potential is there to make it utterly amazing - planetary landings, multi-crewed ships, walking around in ships/stations...

One thing it could really, really use at the moment is better group/multiplayer support though.

Also keeping up with the story and making it engaging and immersive.

Agreed, I'm not really sure I understand the negative posts and threads here. I've played just about every space sim game out there, and so far this is the best I have played. Heck I even play "endless space" and that game can get very monotonous and X-Rebirth, for me anyway, was a total letdown.
I discovered ED last year when I went on a search for new space sims after the XR release went wrong. I have been patiently waiting a year for it to come out and so far it hasn't let me down one bit.
