What did FD Dev ever do for us?

Golf9 · Dec 23, 2014

Stunning graphics with a decent frame rate
Transitions between systems that work
No more "request denied" getting into ports
Stunning graphics (ship shadows that work! Really!?)
Navigation that gets me round the galaxy
Tough but rewarding trading engine
Dog fights to remember
Pain of defeat without 'game over' ending

Oh, did I mention the graphics?

that was called for... and intended by the OP i think

Indeed it was intended...
Lots of moaning and griping around for the FD team, we have to stand back from time to time and appreciate just what they have achieved.
And I am of an age that appreciates both the Python both now, original Elite and the Brian variety...

I was explaining some of ED to a non-gamer friend, and he mentioned The People's Front Of Judea. I told him he wasn't too far off when many systems have similarly-named political/interest parties like Chemaku Law Party, Chemaku Values Party etc...
