All the awesomeness of a space game, none of the nonsence.
Easy to pick up and learn, trading is self explanatory and the combat was absolutely immense. Rather than being a poorly optimized sim that promises the world and never delivers like Elite. Not got high hopes for Starcitizen either despite it being made by the same developers.
That said the game i would ultimately love a remake of would be Starwars Galaxies.
Literally the best game ever made and no other games like it, which is a real shame since it had it all. Purpose, Crafting, combat, PVP bounty hunting. Jedi wasn't just given away it was a very long grind and something to aim towards.
This is what games need, Rather than just keep trying to get the best gear every patch or expansion players should be trying to progress their characters with wealth and power. The game even had politics where you could vote out your guildleader and claim the guild as your own, in turn taking over the city where the guildhall was placed.
God i miss that game so much i can't look at other MMORPG's the same.
