Two months with elite, i REALLY LOVE this game.

Admittedly, there's some things that are long overdue, but the game has mostly been moving forward.

Some more quality testing and a bug report team that actually understands the game would be nice though.
 
take your time to realease all new content and mechanics, do it slow and solid.


this, I don't need space legs even in 2020 when the rest isn't proeprly done nor athmospheric planets. If they deliver a steady good quality the game can live for a loooooong time and generate income. But don't sell primises that you don't furfill that scares customers away.
 
Go ahead Fdevs, take your time to realease all new content and mechanics, do it slow and solid. In the meantime, i will enjoy this game, possibilities are unlimited.

Well, possibilities in the game are rather limited, you can either explore stuff aimlessly or shoot stuff aimlessly, or trade stuff aimlessly, it's all a means to the same end, I trade (or fight) to make more credits and materials to make my ship better in order to trade (or fight) bigger, better, faster and more.

When you combine your imagination as well though, the possibilities do become unlimited. Unfortunately, it seems they stopped manufacturing imaginations in about 1995 and all the children born since then are just going to have to do without. This isn't the best for the long term economical viability of elite, but that's ok, because FD doesn't have a board (right?) to answer to and Elite is Commander Sir Lord Braben's baby and the servers will never be switched off. I love it too, just getting better at flying spaceships and killing other spaceships, is rewarding enough for me.

See, you just gotta take the rough with the smooth. :)
 
Actually I'm kinda with you TS. 1400 hours into the game, I feel like it's at a pretty good place overall. I look forward to new stuff coming out but there's still quite a lot of gameplay left for me until the well is dry - I would guess another 500 hours or so.
 
See if you say that in another two months.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts mate, you'll change.

To the OP:
Right on, Commander - fly safe and fly dangerous! [up]

Welcome aboard, commander! Yeah, it's the best spaceship flying game in existence. Once you're through the tactical flying and gathering part, check out the strategic offerings of the BGS. There's years of gameplay there.

IMO, the game is only missing one vital component. It should dispense food out of the computer as we play. Big Macs FTW! Make it happen, FD.
