Yeah, when you post a blog tired, you miss things so here is a little addition to my previous post.
Elite: Dangerous is a great game but is it perfect? Well, no.
As an updated version of Frontier with improved graphics and an improved flight engine, it is great but that is all it is at the moment. The game is still lacking in a lot of content, though Frontier Developments have said that they still have a lot to add to the game.
There is a multiplayer component to the game but, at present, it is nothing more than occupying the same universe as other players. There are no systems in place to work cooperatively or do missions as a team, nor is there any way to trade between players (to the point that even if you willingly drop cargo for someone else, when they pick it up, it displays as "Stolen" in their inventory. This is supposed to be fixed in version 1.2 but, seeing as 1.1 isn't released yet, we will just have to see.
Missions are few and far between and, what missions there are, are very samey. There are only a few mission types: Transport, Hunting, Assassination and Fetch (off the top of my head). There may be more but I can't think of them just now or haven't seen them.
As a single player game, it is what I wanted from a Elite game but it can be so much more. Frontier Developments have a plan going forward and I am excited to see what comes next.
In the mean time, I have pirates to kill.
Thanks for reading.
Sakey
