Nice if you have a ton of regular time
Loved the Elite series to death, and nothing came close to it until X: BTF, and then the earlier X2 games. It got a little tiring being the same thing, with only tiny incremental improvements, and you needed to follow the fora to figure them all out, but that incremental nature also helped in that regard, as you only needed to learn a little per game. This revision promised the things many users asked for. Unfortunately, the implementation of those extra bits was very rudimentary, wooden and unpolished. Worst of all, it is horribly documented, and even varying docs per update, with tiny piecemeal explanations that don't take account how things fit together in the greater game. If I was 13 and had all the time in the world, I'd surely figure it out but this is deductive punishment if you can't commit tons of steady and frequent hours. Sad, as it was once wonderful. Not going to invest in the franchise again. YMMV.
Is this helpful to you?
