The spaceships have enough depth and intricacy to them that they do feel like a 'spaceship' rather than a glorified space car. Spaceships have internal modules that can be damaged, weapon hardpoints, scanners etc etc.There's definitely enough to do in space- missions, investigating signal sources (sometimes alien), deep core mining; but if you want action straight from the 'launch' button you've either got to know what you're wanting to do or how to do it- both of which can take a bit of figuring out.The game is a helluva time sink. I spent about a third of my playtime blowing apart asteroids for those sweet, sweet void opals to make some (relatively) quick cash to buy more awesome ships. I then trecked across the void for what must have been an hour return trip to fetch some 'meta alloys' to allow an engineer to increase my ships jump range. I felt it was a monumental effort, and I was proud I'd had the grit to stick at a game for so long for such a simple task- only to open the galaxy map and realise I'd simply done the galactic equivalent of popping off down to the shops.if this hasn't put you off yet, buy the game, especially if its on sale. Just don't play it too much in sequential sittings; you might have it 'burn out' on you. Its happened to me, but I'm still not done with it. You also need time and a clear head to play it, because if you rush you might find yourself faceplanting into a neutron star. P.S get horizons if it's on sale. Much worth.. The good: 350 Hours in and I am still figuring it all out. I worked my way through the rank grinds in my Python. I now run 2 Anacondas, a Corvette, and a Cutter. Which ship depends on what I am wanting to do that day. Each offers benefits to one area of the game over another. Its a trade off and balance aspect that is built into the game, and makes it more interesting. Believe me if there was one ship that was the best at everything, everyone would fly that ship and not bother with the rest. There is just something satisfying and relaxing about this game. I stay out of the "online community" for the most part in solo mode, and have a great time lone wolfing it out in space. I like the solitude and quiet. I know there is a great community out there... but there are those bad seeds and those who just need to mess with other players because they are bored, so I stay hidden. The games universe is still effected by all players regardless if they are in open mode or solo mode. Players can deplete an area of resources through mining, or affect changes in demand, supply, and prices in individual systems through trade. These require you to constantly adjust your plan and seek out greener pastures, as it were. There is no single player\/offline mode but solo mode lets you fly around and only encounter NPCs and not other players.The devs are continuing to update and release content and build this game into something pretty cool. I recommend it to those who enjoy slow paced space flight simulation. Carry passengers or cargo between star systems and planets. Take on some wet work and hunt down bounties. Find a hot spot and mine some metal and minerals. Or shave every ounce you can off your ship and head out for literally months exploring the black. If you like Farming Simulators or Trucking Simulators, then you have to get your butt behind the helm of a star ship. If you like to battle and actually be challenged in a fight despite having the best equipment credits can buy, then get your butt behind the helm of a star ship. If you want to troll every one and your self worth is tied to kill stats, go play Fortnight or some other mindless PVP trash, this game is not for you. This games community is one of the most non-toxic I have seen in a game, and discouraging trolls from messing with it is priority one for most commanders. There is respect, even from the pirates. The NOT so good: There are a couple of things to be aware of when you purchase this game. The biggest thing is despite this being an MMORPG, you only get one character per account on PC. One CMDR. You want to start over, gotta wipe your progress. Given the amount of grinding one has to do to reach certain beneficial levels, that is the unthinkable. I have read that console versions of the game get multiple characters... but PC gamers only get one. You have to buy another copy of the game on a different email address in order to create a second commander and they are not linked, so no sharing resources between your squadron.Another thing you need to be aware of is the in-game-purchases for cosmetics. The game comes with all the ships and all the weapons... so there is no pay-to-win aspect at all. But all ships come in a base color; if you want a different color ship, maybe change the weapon color or engine exhaust, maybe customize the ship with some extra pieces, or even put the name of the ship on it... you gotta make an additional real money purchase through your Frontier account or buy Steam DLC. And there is no way to "unlock" these in game or get them otherwise. Its a cash grab by the devs to be sure. You'll pay anywhere from a buck or two all the way up to 20 bucks to buy a package for that one thing you do want offered in that package. And if you do buy a second copy of the game to have a second commander on PC... well you gotta buy the same cosmetic stuff again for that account. I'm not complaining about them generating revenue in order to keep improving the game. They do not charge a subscription to play online and season passes get you all the content. So they need some way to pay for the development. But a few in-game cosmetic "unlocks" for milestones and certain achievements would be nice. But that's not a thing in this game. Well, you do get a logo each time you rank up in Combat, Explorer, or Trade status, but nothing that would make you want to grind for it.And last, this game is entirely dependent on the online servers. There is no offline mode. If the servers are down.. you ain't flying. If the serves go away in the future, the game dies and will be unplayable. Nature of the game design I am afraid. Just keep all this in mind when deciding to purchase.Still, I do recommend the game despite those short comings. However... at this stage I can't recommend the PC version over the console version. The additional characters offered on console really do give you more bang for the bucks. Also, you can play the game with keyboard\/mouse or a game pad... but a hands-on-throttle-and-stick (H.O.T.A.S) setup is highly recommended.. After 89 hours I've become bored. I've landed on countless moons that look essentially the same. I've fought pirates and Thargoids, rescued civilians from burning stations, taken rich tourists to visit amazing stellar visuals, and mined rocks for dozens of hours. If you're looking for an escape of simply flying through space and exploring, this is a pretty great sandbox for that. Eventually though, you're going to hit a point where you feel like you've done it all. That moment comes for everyone at a different time. For me, it was 89 hours. For you, it could easily be in the hundreds.. Huge, very open space game with complexity to keep you interested for long periods of time. Flight sim is great and fun to fly. The big drawback to the game is the STEEP learning curve and lack of on board tools to figure out what's up. You have to be willing to watch some videos and visit a couple of sites (regularly) to figure out how to progress in the game. That said, it's great and I'll be playing for some time.. Elite is a fantastic game, If it is what you're into. It has a steep learning curve and takes some getting used to that isn't helped by the notoriously bad and unclear tutorials, but when you get more proficient you have control over every little detail of your ship and it controls exactly how you like. If you are looking for a semi-realistic space faring game, then Elite could be the choice for you.Mixed reviews are kinda misleading. There should be a button for "people who don't understand a big boy game" to separate it from actual criticism. 645 hours in, and so happy with my investment. Hopping into one of my ships after a long day for a fly around a planet is one of my absolute favourite things to do. There's always something new to explore, and I haven't even started any of the Thargoid content yet. Flight mechanics will take some getting used to - but hang in there because you'll learn to love it with some practice. There's been a few stability issues over the years, but they're usually fixed by the next time I login, so don't let comments about stability or issues put you off purchase. Enjoy!. Never even considered playing space games before, was introduced to Star citizen and was very disappointed but it left me hungry for a decent space game, Elite dangerous filled that void to the point I will never be hungry again. Just buy it, some very exciting updates to come and there is plenty to do in the meantime. Its simply the best game I have every played but be patient, starting out in elite is very overwhelming the game doesnt hold your hand, but persevere and you will be hooked. ( They have introduced a new player experience in a recent update which will help alot).
