To be fair not many people have complained about a lack of story but even so I think its worth pointing out how the story in Elite is and can be very rich.
1. There is Frontiner approved fan novels that you can purchase. The approval process is that the story fits with the lore of the game.
2. In games like this YOU are the story, the story is not pre-crafted for you. In a traditional narrative game you cant affect the outcome by very much. In this game the 'story' is the story of groups of real players interacting with the world. This is something that TV, movies or books can not do, it is something a game can do.
