Yeah it's excellent, played free version a while ago so decided to just buy anyway. was a bit lost at first after checking out solar system etc what else can i do? but can spend ages just searching and roaming. Great stuff.
Also makes you realise even speeds of 1 Light Year per second isn't going to get you anywhere anytime soon! Flying around at warp speeds is cool.
Needs some Ui scaling (is being worked on) as not really possible to play at 4k at the mo as the ui is so tiny need eyes of a hawk or a telescope.

I bought this and refunded it after 30 minutes.  I just couldn't see the mid/long term enjoyment in it.  Sure, it is nice seeing the detailed maps of the solar system, but that is nothing you cannot see on the NASA website.  Once you have seen an eclipse, sat on Pan inside Saturns' Rings, zoomed around a little bit to see a procedural planet, what else is there?  That can only keep my attention so much before it becomes a bit too samey.

Elite taught me that space is big, empty and very similar
