Ah, it recently announced a $48,000 spaceship bundle, the latest in an ongoing line, which contains every ship in the game and is apparently only accessible to those who've already spent $1,000...

I like to dunk on SC as much as the next guy but how can you say this at all with a straight face? For starters, can I walk around my ship? Is there a story-based campaign I can play through? Are there capital ships with dozens of players with different roles working on them?

SC will never get finished or live up to the promises it made but ED barely even tries to do anything beyond being a space truck simulator.

Yes (since the latest DLC), yes (the thargoids mystery), and yes (carriers have been here for a few years).

Of course it's not exactly what you would get in SC because they're ultimately different games. But you do have all of that and more, E:D has massively improved since it came out.

DId you ever actually play ED Odyssey and SC?

You can't walk around on ships in E:D so you're either mistaken or outright lying at this point. I'm not even going to get into talking about thargoids like it's a story campaign, or how co-op works in ED.

You can walk around your fleet carrier, which is a ship you can travel in. I'm pretty sure that's what they meant.

That's just one ship though, and it's literally just walk afaik - you can't actually do anything on it. It's hardly comparable in any way

Shoutout to when I parked my Python on the Gnosis and never logged in again.

I like to imagine a huge hangar full of cobwebs and a rusted skeleton of a ship.
