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.
