I don't have it, or know of it (only heard of it) but with 11,000+ reviews and Mixed at 67%, you'd probably have to be pretty quirky to like it a lot. But, on sale, people say you will get your money's worth.

Yeah I think they failed to do the full single player RPG side of it yeah?
It looks like you can chase people and pull them out of FTL to PvP... Interesting concept. Very non-carebear.

I think if you read the review comments, you will see it wasn't just a botched launch. They are also putting effort into the newer game now and not updating this edition as much. Probably will phase out updating it before long.
Some of the negative reviews say it was a really good game in the beginning, but fell flat. They also say they got their money's worth though. Just don't pay full price.

Jez, new Elite game already? What is that one called then?
I think if that is the case, I'll just stick with Star Citizen.

By ED if you like it win if not ah well you got if on sale. It's rediculous some will drop over 500 bucks o. SotA but not spend 50 on a finished game that people say is fun? It's bizarre behavior I'm gonna buy it

Yeah it is only 14 bucks. I may grab it when I wake up and think about it properly haha.
Yes, I have jumped in SC today for 15 mins to take a look around all the new stuff I missed from last time. Now that the system is rebuilt I'll probably jump in Squadron 42 tomorrow and see if I remember how to fly haha.

ED's criticism is that the game doesn't really offer more than the ship flying, and that gets repetitive, fast. SC differs in that it's an interactive universe with a helluvalot more to do and significantly more player depth.

I play Elite and fly a Federal Assault Ship, so I've done a fair amount of grinding. It's such an empty soulless game the combat(good), exploring (good/boring) and mining which in a type 9 is the way to make money now it seems (sucks). The expansion was a slap in the face with added literally just planet landing and some crafting components and they slapped a 80 dollar tag on it. So if you wanna do mindless combat exploring or mining feel free. There missions are horrible and there's no storyline. I like it but I like to grind so. SC if completed will be much better.
