What's after 'Elite'

Anyone else think they set the bar WAY too low ?

The aim of the game seems to be to get to elite (as it was in the original), what do you get after that? I mean I'll probabily never get to elite trading that would be wayyy too boring, but if I tried hard I could probabily get elite exploring this month.. What's my aim then for the rest of the time elite is out there?
 
My initial thought is no, I do not agree (am open to discussion and debate though).
.
My whole reason for playing the game is not an end goal as such but for immersion, story, interaction, exploration and generally because I love to play space type games. I realise that the current offering is lacking a smidge but I am more than ready to allow FD the time to develop and improve over time.
 
Maybe it will be like Karate, where the student trains to achieve black belt.
Once they've achieved 1st Dan, they work towards 2nd Dan.

I think you probably have to figure that out for yourself. I don't think they set the bar wayyyyy too low at all. The game is what you make of it, just like life my friend.
 
What's after elite? That's the wrong question to ask. The rank is an arbitary badge. Becoming Elite is only one aspect of the game. Some people don't care for the badge ranks at all.
some people think that getting triple Elite is the whole goal. I'm not saying they are wrong, I'm just saying there are other things.

Can you make a billion credits in mining?
Can you map every system in inhabited space/the badlands/outer rim?
Can you take down an anaconda solo in a Viper?
Can you take down a Captial ship solo?
Can you organize a successful sidewinder only speed race? Can you make it a weekly event with prizes and so on and so fourth.
Can you dream up something crazy but fun, make a youtube vid about it and make people laugh/cry/both?

This. 'Achievements' are for suckers.
