Nice looking game. Too bad squad size is limited to only 4 people. Makes it difficult to get a large group going at the same time :?

Actually once played an open world game with similar mechanics. Factions, trading, smuggling, war, managing and upgrading ships. It had everything except for the multiplayer. :)

Darn and gosh - I had to buy it after chatting on TS the other night - 5 days of turning hay by hand has made me realise that Farming Simulator 2015 would be slightly ironic, so I've plumped for Elite instead - downloading now :D

(Having said that - I suspect FS2015 will be following very soon...)

Bunny, you are by no means getting away from farming with Elite Dangerous.

So far it's been fun, but not had much chance to get into it. Still think I might also plump for FS2015 too...

I had been telling Hitler for over a year, since my first flight in an Me-262, that only Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter production should continue in conventional aircraft, to discontinue the Me-109, which was outdated, and to focus on building a massive jet-fighter force. - Galland

Sure do
I mean, I had fast motor cars and fast motor bikes, and when I wasn't crashing airplanes, I was crashing motor bikes. It's all part of the game — Sir Harry Broadhurst

Yup. Still in solo mode but with a Cobra and 10 mill in the bank I'm beginning to think I might join the masses.
