I'm personally just annoyed that they release a version with finally some basic multi crew to test but wait... what do they do with that? They advertise the fact that you can buy the said spaceships to test multi crew - you'd think that anyone with a bigger multi crew ship would get the current small multi crew ships for testing purpose while they can't fly the ships they've pledge for (Connie here), but instead they'd rather have you pay up some more money or just fly the same basic ship (or new! Now with grinding!). Not my idea of how early access and alpha testing would work. I wonder whether things will ever look more like the new Wing Commander/Privateer I was hoping I was paying for or whether it will continue to look more and more like we're heading indeed toward a monster Space War Thunder.

I think it will be a very very long time before I prefer this to E:D, if ever.
