If Elite:Dangerous goes well and becomes the game David Braben wants it to be, it will be the best game to play simultaneously with EvE...C:
In other news, I have made a thread for it without the vs shenanigans here. |

John Arkarel wrote:Alright this is really the first time I have posted on the forums at all but after seeing all these "X game will kill eve" posts I can't stop myself. I own ED and played it while I was on a break from eve and after a week of while yes cool gameplay it just made me miss eve. I have now stopped playing ED for all intensive purposes and switched back to eve for a ton of reasons. Honestly neither ED or SC will even touch eve at all.
The thread title is a little controversial indeed. I opened this some time ago to address that, but it got closed as a duplicate. T_T
Anyway...
A nice panorama from Hyperion 5.

Yeah, celestial objects are getting better and better with each iteration. The plan in the future (a year or so after release I suppose) is to extend the LoD down to the ground level, and enable freeform atmospheric flying and FPS exploration.
If they do manage it, it will be great imo. Especially since everything is in 1:1 scale.
Some more images of celestial objects etc from the beta...

Its very fun indeed. Also, although I have done it about a thousand times by now, I really cannot get bored by it. I think that the game conditions us to feel that this mundane task is a necessity, not a chore. ymmv though..
One the other hand, the amount of rage that this simple mechanic incurs when you are not careful is majestic, to say the least..things like boosting into the station outer wall, forgetting your landing gear, rebinding your HOTAS and forgetting something, trying to land in an unassigned slot or launching with your throttle @maximum thrust are staples of the game. XD
a pretty good example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYPtigdFxnA

FDEV are making the best Elite game they can for an initial release after 2 years of development. To make the best Elite game, they need at least 4 years. They don't have the money for it (never did), so from the start they have split development to an initial release and then paid expansions (not horse armor DLC, full old school expansions) that will enhance and deepen the experience. The goal for the initial launch was always to have the basics in, and - most importantly - the canvas/platform to seamlessly and without code rewrites iterate on them and add additional feature sets.
Thats one of the reasons that FDEV are hiring staff like mad 1 month before release instead of getting ready to sack a big portion of the ED team right after that.
What they have delivered so far is in the eye of the beholder. I don't know about you, but putting on a good pair of headphones and using my HOTAS on this game provides a gameplay experience that I have not seen in years. And will only get better when I get my rift...XD
Now, regarding the single player offline module. My biggest gripe with it is simply cutting out modding support completely from the game. I was looking forward to the (far) future for a different single player offline experience, with modded ships from FE2/FFE, an FE2 flight model, the return of the Star dreamer etc etc. It seems that it wont be possible now..or ever to do it. Sure, thats like saying that I wanted to play another game than what FDEV are making. I don't mean that, I really think though that cutting off all modding support from the games' stem is not a good deal for anyone..remember that we fans have carried the torch for almost two decades now! (Oolite, Pioneer, FFE3DAJ etc etc).
Moreover, offline mode has been promised, verified and expanded upon by both David Braben and Michael Brookes in the KS. There are a lot of people that have ONLY pledged for the offline mode, and most of them are of course Elite Veterans, since the other Elite games are single player offline also.
All in all, a pretty bad development.
