Okay here's the laydown... Let's get things straight right now. 1. It's a beautiful game aesthetically. 2. Flying controls and physics are awsome. 3. Cool ship gearing and intense pvp. (Death has a price, I like that kinda thing) -----BUT----- 1. Lack of activities - Either pvp, go trade (station to station docking and undocking with nothing but straight-ahead flying in-between), go sit in front of rocks for minutes on end grinding mining, smuggle (same thing as trading but you gotta get in the station without a "space cop" scanning you, which seriously isn't a challenge), then there's the one exciting mission: assassinations (too bad it takes forever to find the target sometimes and is frustrating with having to go back into super-cruise to find another signal and hope that's the one)
Either get the game now and enjoy it while you can, or wait until Horizons comes out and buy that for $60 (it will include the first game too)
----THE WORST OF IT ALL---- Frontier wants to milk YOU (Yes you, I don't care who you are) for every dime they can. I thought Horizons was cool. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=172167&p=2640554&viewfull=1#post2640554 https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=172167&p=2640720&viewfull=1#post2640720 https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=172167&p=2640943&viewfull=1#post2640943 Then I saw the only thing it will include is floating down to atmosphere-less planets with hardly any gravity to drive around a baren planet with a couple wrecked ships over their 25,000 mile 1:1 scaled circumference to get some salvage by clicking a button or two, then driving back to your ship to float back into space.. OMG ALL THOSE AMAZING FEATURES FOR $60 WHOLE DOLLARS!!!(OR $45 IF YOU ALREADY OWN THE GAME HOW NICE) Can't wait until I get to pay $45 more for landings on planets with atmospheres! Maybe JUST MAYBE we'll get a "season" where I can then pay $45 to walk around in my ship! OH GOODIE ONLY 2 YEARS AND $135 AWAY Maybe they'll let me pay another $45
