This game was made for me.
Played the original Elite on my BBC computers when it first come out. I was 36-37 at the time and after persevering for a long time made it to ELITE. YeHa.
Spent years looking for something to replace it but nobody ever made anything to match it. I tried virtually every space sim game that was ever written and although I enjoyed some of them nothing hit the spot quite the same.
Had virtually given up when I saw DB was going to make a new one. Waited and watched it's progress until the Beta 1 showed up and decided to give it a go. Would it be too much for me at age 66 with not so good health.
The best news is I'm finding it a breeze to fly and use. Flew in through the opening and set her down as light as a feather. Have done some cargo runs and had a couple of run ins with people trying to take my goodies. Found I could run fast and survived no problem.
I wish people would stop complaining about crashes and things and just be thankful that in the end they are going to have a work of art to play with. Quality takes time and patience. Keep reporting bugs but please don't moan.
Just had to have my say.
