Don't know what the problem people have with the flight physics - I consider the ED flight controls to be pretty good (quick to pick up but slow to master) - but I guess that's personal taste.
The problem I have with ED is background simulator, which was the main reason I was playing it. It's very "black box" and has been so beset with bugs that I've lost all confidence in it. There is so little feedback that my actions are doing what I want my actions to do that I might as well not be doing them. And the new Power Play mechanic has stomped all over any sandbox work that has been done up to now.
There is a lot of good in ED - the galaxy is huge and beautiful, albeit slightly shallow - but I couldn't bring myself to recommend it.
That's exactly what I (we) have been doing. Increasing the influence of minor factions as part of a player-led story. We've put quite a lot of work into a pretty high-profile system and there have been many huge influence swings that we couldn't account for so report them as a bug, Frontier then look into it, fix the bug (or not, if it turns out that it's player activity...the symptoms look the same but it's impossible to determine which it is as a player) and we see another one. The goals are meaningless when you don't know if you'd be better off just sitting back and waiting until the next invisible, seemingly random swing just achieves your goals for you - or a new system comes along that renders your goals redundant.
I understand that it's still "in development" but I don't think we know whether it will improve over time - all we know is that it will continue to change. I suspect Power Play will see an overhaul, it has caused a pretty major PR/customer support meltdown, so I would worry that anything I do on that will get similarly trampled. I guess my own personal plan is to step away for a bit so I can take a bit more of a "new player" perspective when/if I return - so I'll be able to see new content as a toy to play with and not a pile of junk that has buried my existing, favourite toys.
A game demanding £40 (triple-A game money) should not 'still be in development'.
So much of this game appeals to me, but there just doesn't seem to be much to do. It just seems to be Euro Truck Simulator in space, from the hour or so I've played.
I'll probably pick it up when it's either finished, or a lot cheaper.
Off the top of my head, about £400 would be plenty. Most of that spend would be on the graphics card though. I built mine at the cost of £650ish 2 years ago, and can play GTA V at 60fps on high settings.
Depends, really, on what you want. Have a look on Overclockers, they have prebuilt systems and their customer service is great.
