The thing is you can play it if you want, and yeah it still in development. Have been said before but come back in maybe 4 years or so.

Looks like no S42 till 2025+
I don't think it is that far out from what is going on and the current SQ42 report. I am being hopeful for end of 2022 release, like early December 2022.
ha yeah there was, there was also a completely different game pitched to what being developed in fairness
but yeah. Tbh I have for the amount I have pledged (£60 all in) I have already got my monies worth.

For what I got out of Elite in return for roughly the same that I put in, I'd say CIG/RSI has quite a lot left to deliver before I get a similar value.ha yeah there was, there was also a completely different game pitched to what being developed in fairness
Right now it's still basically a playable proof of concept, and while that is a bit of fun it's nothing even approaching an actual game.
I've tried elite a few times and it gets switched off in about 20 mins. Just can't get into it at all. I find already what SC has in it far more engaging but each to own
Simply stuff really irritated me in SC. Not being able to get to the space port via the lifts for example. Not being able to figure out how to get into space (lol).I've tried elite a few times and it gets switched off in about 20 mins. Just can't get into it at all.

I would love to give it another go though.
I haven't encountered the lift issue although well aware was time that it was prolific in one their builds.
The not getting into space, fair enough. Plenty videos out there for that sort of thing mind and once know really obvious, just not if you don't know you need to call ATC to get out etc.

agreed with some of what you said. it boded well for 2022 being the year where we see the game expand drastically.
Dont forget, Pyro is meant to be 3 times the size of stanton and ship to ship docking and refuel is one of prerequisites for pyro
Indeed Pyro in terms of distance is going to be much larger and since we have ship docking and they are working on refuel for it accordingly that all fine. At end of day Pyro and Nyx are rather empty compared to that of Stanton. And no doubt they will still be updating all planets in SC throughout 2022 and probably 2023 for the rivers, roads, smaller towns/cities on planets etc, new biomes and flora and fauna etc. Not really expecting any star system to be complete ever, but closer to feeling complete in a few years.

Yea an tbh i am more eager to see at least 1000 players per server instance as i hate this 50 player limit making it a challenge to join friends sometimes due to servers being full.
I am also more eager to see quanta come online fully qith virtua AI and als salvaging and healing gameplay
Indeed both be good but at moment a jump to about 200 players seems both more likely and probably enough to get a start on enjoying with a full group of friends.

What's the insurance like on ships bought in-game with aUEC?
Do they even have it working, yet?

The same as if you bought it with real money, you can't lose it, unless they reset the account, they haven't done that to me in over a year.

OK, what is it with real money? Everything I have so far is LTI, so I've not needed to pay anything.
Is that just the wait time/expedite fee thing, or are there additional moneys to pay?
Beyond the base game package you don't really have to buy anything with real money, you can earn it all in game.
Just know that until the game is officially released they could reset your account at any time, if that happens anything you bought with in game money will be lost, and they may do that from time to time for any number of reasons.
LTI is for when the game is release, you do have to buy insurgence, unless the ship comes with life time insurance.
Not the best idea going against Starfield. At least Elite Dangerous seems to be done for and out of the picture.
yeah that through a spanner in works but honestly I don't think they directly competing. One is Skyrim in space, the other is an interactive movie style game in my view. Both can exist and do hope starfield is good.
