Anyone play it?
Its just like the old game Elite (Frontier) where theres thousands of planets, and you fy around, fighting, trading, buying bigger ships etc? Only difference its modern day and theres actually more than 3-4 colours.
Its a subscription though, £10 per month. I'm on a trail download (set a few hours for tuition if your gonna DL it!!!!) for 14 days and have spent the first 2 days still on training.
Not really done much, just wondered if anyone played it, and if its worth the subscription (as theres not much you can really do in 10 days)....

PS, think theres about 80,000 players so far with a good 20,000 players on at any time globally.

I personally wouldn't spend £10 a month on any game, regardless of how good it was or how much it offered in return in terms of gameplay.
Ripoff.
I remember the old Elite, trying to land in that huge hexagon thing  tough as fcuk

I can afford it, thats not an issue at all.
Its just whether anyone plays it here and thinks its worth continuing.

Yes, I've been playing since about the start of June, after my 14 days of free trial...
One word of warning, before you start, this is NOT a game you can just pick up for half an hour at a time, you really do need to dedicate quite a bit of time to it, to get the most out of it.
Oh, and if you pay for more time at once, it's cheaper......from memory, it's:
£10.30 per month, paying every month
£8.65 per month, if you pay three-monthly
£8.30 per month, if you pay six-monthly
£7.80 per month, if you pay annually
Something like that, anyway...
Oh, and the character development is very in-depth:
My main character's skills
My main ship (I do have a few different ones, that's my current mission-ship)
