yes.
Oculus is just for more immersion in your space trucker sim.
Game is okay, but turns into a peaceful material grind.

it's a niche game. If you like space trucking, and especially just the thought of going out into the Great Beyond and exploring (I think that over 95% of the galaxy is still undiscovered), then it's for you. If not, then find something else.

I would say it is probably a disadvantage. The controllers don't really translate well to the game and the motion sickness definitely takes a bit to get used to. I can only do it in short spurts but it is fun to feel a little more immersive while playing.

I had to dig deep to find this thread, sorry for the rez.
I play from time to time, it's pretty much all there is besides X4 for this genre. I'd kill for a good Freelancer 2 remake or a sequel even.
Plans are to introduce some kind of colonization system to the game soonish, got my interest up again. Not a whole lot of details yet.

I think what is the thing most people like about Elite is the exploration. So far only 0.02% of the galaxy has been explored. Makes me want to load it up again and go exploring...

I bet this guy is a Star Citizen, and feels better saying that.Yeah, but you can walk inside the SC ship.

I'm hoping they really lean into the colonization system + player factions to let people basically claim areas of space and develop them.

You think you do but you don't.
I left my explorer rig and never logged back after trying to explore in this game. Shit was so dull after about 500 jumps I was done.

Bunch of exploring at once is tedious I won't disagree, I usually do it in chunks, then return to bubble to cash in. I feel the landing/docking takes an ungodly amount of time in this game, otherwise it wouldn't feel so annoying to explore each system.
My understanding with a carrier (not at that point yet) I can just abandon the bubble completely if I want, and just live out in unexplored space.
I just figured out this time around playing you can change your jump range, but it's in the galaxy map settings, had no idea, it's not an obvious thing. That made a huge difference for me, as before I was essentially jumping star to star, THAT was fucking boring.

Oops. I just did a pass over all the free offerings and most of them were GoG, maybe two Epic, and forgot which were which. My bad. Either way, I have no compunction about using Epic for free shit since it costs them money. I have like 200 games there and never spent a dime.
