Wow. That game looks so amazing that even just flying among asteroids looks cool.
Do the cockpit options offer anyway to see whAts on one's six? Seems like their should be an option to bring up a smaller screen with a rear camera view.

No rear camera view, but the up front radar gives a 360 on all available targets. I say available because it's possible to keep your heat signature so low (cool running) that you can remain undetected by ship sensors.

There are gimballed weapons that van track the target. Except if one has a signature low enough... but under a certain distance they rightfully work again... But to really lower your signature you havw to give up shields... Love these game mechanics...

Actually in the Elite forums there's an unsuspecting number of Oculers. Or Rifters?
Whatever...
In complete honesty I wish I had one of those Crystal Cove models...
Or that it was already released the final one.
The only thing that bothers me is that I know that with 2 kids I don't have the luxury of being detached from the world...

In complete honesty the Cobra engine they use is very pretty AND scalable too.
Unless you have less than a Dual core 3.0 GHz with less than 4GB or RAM and a GFX Card older than a NVidia series 2xx you can run it just fine (except some REALLY crowded areas, IA is so far the highest drag).
Anything more than that and you're just flying.

Really looking forward to this.
btw, do you need a super computer to run the current version?
Nope, running great for me on older hardware.
