Nah it's not hard. Remember docking in a panther clipper in F:E2? Yeah I had the docking computer tooI downloaded this on a whim last night, smoked a joint and spent quite a therapeutic few hours flying around doing data courier missions. However once I've tried all the different playstyles and ground out a few ships I'm pretty sure I'll have the same complaints as everyone else.
That being said this is probably the first space sim I've bought since playing frontier and frontier first encounters as a kid so the nostalgia factor probably helped.
Landing and docking isn't that hard though - I don't know if they've changed it but I remember a ton of people bitching about that the last time I looked into this game.
Here it's just a matter of knowing the size of your ship and where - relative to the edges - your canopy sits.
Planetary landings got the added spice of different gravity. Many a ship got turned into a crater because some poor explorer overlooked the high-g rating and tried to land with their underrated thrusters.
Yes it's bound to be boring. You fly a ship to make money to fly a bigger ship to make more money to fly a bigger+1 ship to make more+1 money. It's a true MMO in that regard.
