looks cool! I love me a good space sim. Freelancer was probably the most fun for me, I don't really care for the style of eve, but I did like X3 which was more like a strategy game. X3 had absurd late-game/end-game. I never reached it, but you would keep the ships you used to use, and then set them up with AI to run trade routes (automatically buying / selling) with uh, limitless potential. You could even build bases and whatnot. It was like a single-player eve that probably had as much time investment required in order to obtain that status of like, owner of all the universe. lol.
Anyway, star citizen looks quite interesting, and I did like what I saw of the one video I could be bothered to watch, physics.
