    Elite Dangerous was always a game that was oceanic in breadth but puddle-deep in depth. This looks like a cool meta tool to make it more interesting and deeper. I’d be keen to play.

    I don’t get it. Can someone ELI5 to me how this works? I’ve been playing ED around 2014-2017 and I really wanted to like it but I eventually gave up because Braben refuses to understand what makes a game fun. It was a technological marvel, but the endless grind and spreadsheet-like storytelling wore me down.

    When they abandoned consoles. I abandoned them. I had no idea they were still doing this game. I thought all they do is make bug-riddled theme park games now.
