Hi, after 365 hours in there, I was tired by the amount of grind the game offered and quit the game summer 2021. I boosted my Krait Mk2 for combat (my favourite combat ship, don't like Fer-De-lance) and made an explorer optimal build with a Krait Phantom, A Python for Robigo runs, a Type-9 as a big hauler/ asteroid extractor and a bare bone Federal Corvette because I wanted to do Powerplay… I know the old exploits for rare materials etc.
After playing other space games I just wanted to return in Elite Dangerous because no other game had the flight and combat system that I love in ED (Idk much about Star Citizen, I played a short demo, i'll try again) to see where the game was now.
Summed up, ED player pre-Odyssey. Is the game still fun ? Did the devs reduced the terrible grind now ? What's really new now ? Can you play Odyssey without having to restart all or is it integrated in the game now ? I'd like to return in ED because, despite the grind, no other space games give me this simulation approach and especially the skills needed in space dogfights. I wish to test the fps part too, in planets.
Basically, do you recommand me to jump in again and why ?
