Elite Dangerous should have been released as Elite Not Finished! So if you have Dangerous you now need to shell out more money so you can land on a planet. I remember the original Elite and Elite Frontier, what I don't remember is having to shell out more money just so I could land on a bloody planet, it was all included. But apparently landing on planets is now an 'expansion'!!! More money please, ch-ching!!!
Horizons WHY!!!!?

First post? You're a bit behind the curve on this one... regardless of what you remember about the original Elite, you couldn't land on planets. Ever. At all.
ED is indeed unfinished. There will (hopefully) be lots more expansions and they will cost more money. It's a consumer's duty to check what they're getting before they pay for it.
If it's that much of an issue get in a sale and it's really cheap and definitely worth it even at full price.
I will get it, got too, it's a great game. It just bugs me that having got really into Frontier: Elite 2 on the Amiga, which was all complete, we now have to pay extra to access features that were standard.
Yeah, overstepped the mark there a bit. Planets were probably a bit beyond the good old Spectrum! I should have just stated Frontier: Elite 2, which is where I first started my Elite gaming.
Welcome to the real world.

Personally more than happy to bung them the cost of a night down the pub once a year for FD to keep improving this.
