I miss that excitement, been playing for 4 weeks roughly and love E:d but having reached the Cobra my interest has waned, I'm banking all my excitement for the Standard Beta updates, I hear they were going to be big, we already know a couple of things. I feel ashamed and dirty after all the excitement (and being a £ton down) that I've lost my pioneering passion.
I have the attention span of a goldfish.
I'm hoping we'll get exploration and mining on SB and much much more of the Elite universe for some proper exploring. We'll see, but getting psych'd about the SB, for now I'm counting the days.
Looking forward to being as excited as the OP again, roll on those SB updates.
