    Really cannot get excited with a space game where battles are determined by the use of a joystick.

    Yeah it's stigmatized by gaming hobby forever now. The most imersive moment I've ever had with a computer game.

    A few bugs here and there, some features still missing but absolutely brilliant game.

    If the controls/mechanics resemble anything close to Battlefield 3's jet piloting, I'm so buying the deluxe edition of this game xD

    Can anyone comment on that?

    This game is awesome. I'm so glad Space-Sims are making a comeback. Elite Dangerous is just the first. Limit Theory, Star Citizen, and No Man's Sky just to name a few. Good Times......

    That's the only way they should be determined..  You can keep your spreadsheet in space game..

    All we need now is the commercial release of the OR and I'm all set to kiss good-bye to the real world. !

    If you mean a HOTAS set up then yes Elite Dangerous works well with those as I use the X55. The game can also use a gamepad and some players find mouse and keyboard to work well. It is all down to personal taste.

     

    Been in Pre-Alpha all the way to beta 3 and still loving the game. When the Rift gets a consumer release I am going to look at getting that as well. Not touched another game for months to be honest as Elite has everything I am looking for.

    This game is NOT a space sim.  Ships don't fly like that in space and weapons will self aim.  Not to say it is not a fun game, because it is, just that a simulator it is not.

    Can I ask how real space weapons aim?
