and I can't wait for Oculus Rift to be released in a consumer edition.. I'll play Elite a lot when that happens. (I bought a Thrustmaster Warthog stick+throttle for those games)

It would appear I am a tad late with my review.

The game looks good.
When you look at the galaxy map it looks like any other space sim so far, with a few systems with various connections (jump lanes).

But then you zoom out.

It's huge.

But then there aren't that many different things to do yet. There are no definite goals in the game, you will never beat it, and there is no story line. You start out at a "random" station with a loaned ship and you go from there.

You can
  • mine, which from my limited experience is a slow, dull and boring experience
  • bounty hunt, which is rather fun, but can get out of hands rather fast
  • explore, which I haven't tried yet (apart from roaming around a few systems), and there's bound to have been someone there before, so the information can probably be found online
  • trade, which is what the community seems mostly intent on, having found numerous fancy ways to make the most money in shortest time. You can do the basic trading to get a few thousand credits per (short) trip, or you can aim higher and get a better ship with super-high jump capacity that will allow you to buy rare stuff in one end of the known universe and travel to the other to sell it for insane profits.
  • do quests, which is the second to least rewarding experience I've found yet. It pays off mainly in having somewhat clearer goals and getting standing with the different factions

However, Frontier Development have been hiring like crazy lately, and I believe this game will see massive content updates and improvements over the time to come. I'm hoping there will be better possibilities to customize my ship's appearance (or maybe I just haven't found the right stations), as well as some more than the current 17 ships.

You might want to read more professional reviews if you're looking for reasons to regret your purchase.
I've been missing a Freelancer-like game for some time and have been waiting for Star Citizen and Oculus Rift.
I'll probably keep gaming this as my only off-hand game until the bachelor project is finished.

well from our chat i figured out there might be room for some fun if grouping all together with Fizz, Fend, Fiten, good old DAoC farming group.

 will log on tonight and see what can be achieved. tomorrow i ll recieve the stick and i guess that s gonna amaze me for the whole week end :)

 i think ship customization coms with RL $$ but agree with you... i see potential there..; hopefully  i ll managed to stay hooked long enough for Frontier to provide more content ;)

It's silly big!

Right now i'm just grinding credits doing trade routes (which is rather boring, but good profit). Planning to buy a fighter and i've found a system i reckon will be a good home base for us. From there we can switch it up between doing missions and bounty hunting together or grind the trade routes alone. :)

I'm making an attempt at exploring. It's a big place and quite lonely, but my pimped up T-6 transporter does fairly well.. except when I nearly flew into a sun and overheating (close to 200% of what it's suppose to handle) damaged nearly every system. I had to limp back to populated space to repair :p

The reason I started now is a two week long mission for Alliance to discover as much as possible. There are rewards as well when the mission end, and they increase the more people join/deliver new data to them. (they already have after that screenshot was taken)

Unfortunately this movie seems to have been subject to the usual COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT purging, so I couldn't find the clip I wanted to show...


edit: Anyway, I feel like the pilots in that movie when I fly around, eating and drinking beer while zooming around in space. No Primus in my cockpit, though.
edit II: Fenderon pointed out my late-night typo
