Thanks, I was going to post about Starfighter! My name will be in the credits, can't wait to see it. Loving the attention to details the devs are bringing to the table here. We're really getting spoilt for choice between Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and the likes.

  Can we really include Star Citizen in that list? I'm one of the original Kickstarter backers, and I still don't have a playable game yet.

    I'll grant that I'm amazed by its ability to make a six core Haswell E, 32 GB, NVME 1080TI system feel sluggishly old, however I have been able to go flying at least a few times. The first time I tried a planetary approach was pretty amazing. I should add that I got to meet Chris Roberts when he was in Melbourne a few years ago. I thought that was pretty cool, as I absolutely loved WC and Freelancer way back; very nice guy also. So after that and my backing level I'm not really capable of being objective on SC. :) Elite Dangerous is miles ahead of it in overall completeness though.

    I think that's arguable. I'm also an original backer, and I've spent at least 50+ hours playing Star Citizen in some form or another. Sure, it's not the complete experience, and there's no real single player story yet, and the vision has evolved and changed and the scope has gotten somewhat ridiculous.. But so far everything I've seen has convinced me that it's ok to keep waiting, and I'm excited to see what it eventually/hopefully becomes. In the meantime, I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy.. :-)

If it turns out as good as it looks, I may have to figure out how to install windows on my machine...

It looks nice, but they mention "REALISTIC SPACE COMBAT", but the in-game footage looks like the ships have a maximum velocity, rather than a maximum acceleration. How could it be considered realistic? It's more like WW2 dogfighting.
