    Hard to see how they will implement a pay system as there is nothing within the UI to give any indication that they are testing the pay concept. Cosmetic items can only be bought through main page. Usually pay to win or pay systems already build the micro-transaction in alpha/beta as its easier to test with small numbers.

    EDIT: If only the ships were actually that maneuverable...
    agreed not that maneuverable, but somewhat maneuverable when using flight assist off, but alot of work tbh.

    Noticed your not playing cause of your friend, would you like to group up with me since:-

    The functionality is already there via the web store. Its skins now but they can easily expand upon that. Not the best example but wow used to run only on a web store with no in game interface until a couple of versions ago.

    Didn't play wow so wouldn't have known.

    Thanks for the offer, but I actually like to start on equal footing with him. You are welcome to join up with us though if you'd like We'll probably play the evening of the 17th as I expect the servers to be down on the 16th.
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    Guys, if I can please ask for some critical feedback and/or review/opinion on this. Like I said, I've been keen on this game for a long while, but now I just don't know.

    I've been following ED developments for a while now, but wanted to wait until now to pre-order as I was never as excited about it as I am about Star Citizen. Really just something to fill the time while I wait for SC, and to push my new rig a little.

    After hearing about the 16 Dec release, I logged onto the ED site this morning all ready to throw my money at Frontier and while the site was loading up I popped in here. Happy that I did now. After reading the recent posts from Wyzak my coin is still secure in my wallet at the moment.

    Question I have now for him, and others who have more insight into the game than me, is simply this: If I do go ahead and click that "Buy Now" button, am I going to feel really, really bitter about spending GBP35/R630, or am I going to get R600's worth of entertainment out of it?

    Oh, and then I saw this video parody of the recently release ED trailer, and even more doubt crept in...

    Just a quick tip, before buying switch to USD or Euro rather than GBP. It works out cheaper. I paid like R550 for my copy.

    What format?
    e.g. Graphics, sound , gameplay, online ,etc..
    Or do you just wanna know what I enjoyed personally and what I didnt like personally?

    I could give one, but it could possibly turn out tl;dr posts.
