How is this different from star citizen??

at least it's released. :)
most ships fly ok. but is very sand box. learning curve can be moderate to fairly deep depending on the player - because there are many different things to do in the game. can be overwhelming - some claim nothing to do or boring or lack content - i disagree since the game was designed to be a sandbox and it is up to the player to decide what they want to eventually do. if you need alot of hand holding or like those RPG sort of missions, please don't get this game.

one really nice thing Elite - it is one of the few games where one the end-game option is exploration. exploration of 1:1 virtual simulation of our known galaxy.

And there's more to come later this year for all players. The launch of the CQC expansion is just a few weeks away, and the ‘Ships' expansion (Elite Dangerous 1.5) later this year will introduce a number of new spacecraft to the galaxy, including the awesome new Viper Mk IV.

We're happy to announce that, as promised, every player who backed our original Kickstarter at Beta level or above will find a Viper Mk IV docked at a starport for free in ‘Ships'.

Skimmer Concept Art

In this week's Dev Update Michael Brookes shed new light on the skimmers you'll meet on the planet surfaces in Elite Dangerous: Horizons.

Skimmers are remote controlled security and defence drones primarily designed to protect positions and restrict movement. They are designed to be hard to engage with ships, so the SRV, with its rapid fire guns is the best way to tackle them. Be warned that while most rely on their armour, some more advanced skimmers may have shields.

They are remotely controlled and will usually have a command and control centre or signal relay nearby – these define the area in which the skimmers linked to that system can operate. They are specifically designed for surface operations on planets and are very manoeuvrable, especially when close to the ground.
