Too many aircraft and automatic weapons...Maybe you just didn't notice theirs over your own.
What other games are we all playing?

Just accidentally ventured into this part of the FDev forum then?
Frontier soon to become a publisher of 3r party games will introduce some independent variety.Just accidentally ventured into this part of the FDev forum then?
That may well be...but most folks play games from many publishers and developers and on a variety of platforms. Frontier had the good sense to realise this and included a general games discussion section on the forum...that's why all of us are in here
I didn't consider replying to this post initially, but just to be sure...
You are aware that the OP was written at a time when Elite Dangerous was Frontier's only active game, right?
I'd also say that while the tone of the OP was along the lines of "ED sucks. This is what to play instead" it's evolved more into a "This is what I pay as well as ED" thread.
It's a public forum though so as long as people stick within FD's forum guidelines people can say what they like.

At the moment I'm playing Warships, Hearts of Iron IV, Worms, very occasionally Wreckfest, Civ IV and planning to pick up US Truck Sim on of these days.
On Steam Summer Sales I grabbed Star Wars Fallen Order (haven't tried it yet) and for the fun GTA IV since it was de-coupled from Win Live... tried GTA IV for a few mins if it boots and runs... man... the very first thing to do is driving, and after all those years, it vehicle physics still feel so much more satisfying than GTA V. I think I'll have a blast playing through. It's a shame multiplayer was shut doen (as far as I know), to me GTA IV online race was perhaps the best online PVP experience ever.

Terraforming Mars is still taunting me. It's almost as bad as the forum...
I bought two copies of the base Elite game, and gifted them to friends. That gives us a four-ship group, with one other buying the base game himself. We'll stay in my PG. It's been a busy weekend for games bought on Steam.

Yes, I'm still a Brittle Hollow as I play it very casually, also I'm dying a lot
.The game reminds me the world of The Little Prince with those tiny planets.Also, as you mentioned, having the clues displayed both in a logical and a planet-wise view helps a lot to pick up the threads.
Highly recommended game for anyone enjoying exploration.
also I'm dying a lot
It's funny... I normally kinda "role play" any game I'm playing. I do my best to never die, even if it means being uber-cautious.
But in this game, I'm normally laughing my rear end off when I die. "Ah nuts... wait, maybe I can still save this one? SPLAT!" It's a lot like the "Edge of Tomorrow" feeling... Because of the timescale and the size of the galaxy, the 'cost' of dying is rarely too bad; so it doesn't take too long to get back to where you were (if you fancy not learning your lesson and dying again in exactly the same time and place... not that I've ever done that. Nosirreeebob.)
I think that's what currently stops me really getting into it... the somewhat mysterious 'lore'. I would like to know what it's all for. You don't make money, there's not really much point to doing any of it, it's just all about creating a beautiful production line which needs as little intervention as possible & that is its own reward.
Really hope the devs actually figure out what they're doing with that, and let the players know.
Hahaha, "beautiful".
Planned to do less conveyor salad. But found out I just couldn't be bothered. It is more verticality in the salad now, though. Also, I figured conveyors are essentially buffers and raw material indicators - so no harm running them all around. The screws drive me nuts though. And how much space all takes. It drives me NUTS!
But yeah, the background isn't particularly fleshed out. For now I play mostly with explorer's intent to discover the world and its places.
Me too. Actually, I'm dying mostly because of Brittle Hollow - I'm trying to avoid falling into the black hole at all costs, and often it results in smashing to the wall or being hit by the falling crust.
Steam sales are evil things.
I've splashed about £50 or so thus far I think, and it's still got another two weeks to run.
Some of the games I've picked up are:
Evochron Legacy, because it intrigues me. A Newtonian based space sim with elements from Elite. Played the 'shooter on rails' version with Mercenary, but this is a whole other level.
while True: learn() which appeals to my (not so) inner geek.
Weedcraft Inc: because, why not?
There's more, and there probably will be more yet. Like I said, evil things...

I am an eternal fan of Evochron. I had all of the versions and its still on my backup/previous computer. It was my space sim before ED. Before that I played Independence War(s), Freelancer and Freespace II. The Evochron founder is awesome, its basically a one man project, especially in the later versions. GL HF
In honor of Evil Genius 2 coming out this year, I'm revisiting the original. Oh, what a sweet, sweet game of quirky evil humor and the urge to scream out, "Why am I surrounded by such idiots!"
I started playing "My time in Portia" from the Origin vault. It's infantile and surprisingly addictive.
Also, I returned to "The Secret World" after some time and it is still my favourite MMO of all time (I've only ever played three, anyway). Different in every way and with a heck of a world and stories!
This is exactly how I feel about MTIP! Something about it is insanely enjoyable.
I just started my third year. It's awesome. Though I finished the main quest and have upgraded pretty much everything, I still enjoy the small jobs, ruin dives, etc.
I think that the thing we feel "weird" is that it has a certain vibes of a mobile game. Lots of collecting, crafting and social stuff, only in a proper PC coat, singleplayer and without microtransactions.
I really really enjoy it the amount of content in it is frankly unbelievable. Especially for such a small indie game.

I think I enjoy the look because I'm an anime freak, but the mobile feel is undeniable (yes, no microtransactions!). LOL It really is a much deeper game than it appears on the surface, and the grind, if it can be called that, is much less soul crushing than ED, for example. I haven't finished the main story yet because I got super distracted by ED, Surviving Mars, and rediscovering Baldur's Gate II.
I really liked Mary, because she's kinda like me, just not as asian.
I'm going to have to give EGS a try, the talk here is very convincing. Also, my grind in ED is getting particularly tedious at the moment, need a break.
