I've been waiting over 10 years for Star Citizen to release a working,stable platform (key word: stable). Then, I just found out they don't have an idea of when they will have one and said it "may be" within the next 4 to 5 years! I didn't know ELITE DANGEROUS was even a good alternative. I DO NOW. I've just purchased the game and spent 2 hours learning how to work the controls. They are a wee bit tedious to learn but easily acquired with great training videos and in-game tutorials. Unlike other "Elite" space games, they don't lure you into spending 100s of hours training and then tell you that you need to start paying if you want to level up. Sure, there is grinding but find me a space game that doesn't require grinding when dealing with space powers, economies and governments. Hey, Star Citizen, let us know when the 5 years is up.
