It's shocking just how much has happened in Elite Dangerous this past year, since they planted the infinite money tree (ship buying with real money), when vast periods of Elite's lifetime have seen it completely abandoned. To go from ‘no new ships in 5 years’ to four in a single year is a remarkable turnaround.

I hope someday I'll be able to come back to the game, that enough of it will have been revamped/upgraded to give it a new lease on life. Until then: Star Citizen

A Landmark Year for Elite Dangerous - 2024

@stroughtonsmith you’re missing out on a fun event if you aren’t playing right now. Titan Cocijo is in orbit around Earth and tons of commanders have come back in defence!
@sysrage I installed the game. I logged in, jumped to Sol in a (non-xeno) combat anaconda, and immediately got ganked by thargoids, twice, with no way to defend myself or outrun the attack. So I uninstalled the game again; didn't get to see any of the new stuff, didn't get to participate in the event. I'll have more fun seeing a recap someday than actually playing it 🙁
