       I hope Elite Dangerous turns out to be as much fun as the original Elite was playing on the Commodore computer back in the 80's.. LOL   I have two major concerns tho..

  1. I do NOT want PvP tied with PvE servers.. They should be separated.. It is one reason why I will not play Eve is because of PvP gank factor.. All I want to do is play PvE trading and AI combat.. I do not want to worry about hiring protection while I mine or play cargo captain.. I don't want to avoid being ganked by 3 teenagers skipping school.. 
  2. I hope that ED has an achievement type system, where we can strive to unlock the game and see progress in doing so.. Something that shows combat kills?  star systems discovered? factions?  etc etc..  I would love even a military category of achievements similar to world of tanks..  An option would be allowing players to act as "security" for certain fractions and segments of space policing against pirates and criminals.. 

       If Elite is too much like Eve, I won't play and that will be a true shame..

  Like you, Tydeson, I played Elite on the Commodore back in the day and I've played most of the versions since then.

  I've kept my eye on this latest version they're doing, but I also hope they don't make it an Eve clone too, although I do like Eve.  I like the feel of the Elite universe more.

       In deed.. I loved playing space trader similar to a "Hans Solo"..  I would explore and unlock all the systems I could.. I just loved the business / trading side of Elite..  The combat of defending against npc pirates, or becoming a pirate was a bonus.. I"m still waiting for more details to come out..

  I have elite pre-ordered but dude... if you think it is better than EVE in any other way than control scheme you've been missing EQ 1 too much recently (no massive battles between players, regional locked matchmaking, limited non-combat areas of interest, etc). It can be greater than EVE in time and in only certain ways but the 1.0 version will just have a bigger universe and a better control scheme than EVE, do not get hyped more than that and you will enjoy the game and help build towards the future where it is better than EVE in more ways .

  Time will tell if this is a worthy contender or not, I'll be giving it a look when it goes live.

  I liked the "lone wolf" aspect too, and as such prefer the small scale battles Elite had.  Huge battles can be fun, I suppose, but they weren't really my thing in Eve.   I like it better when it's just me and a few pirates... or victims.
