I agree with you here, and I should add to my original post that I do love the game for all that it is.
> That's the price of making something so rare that the news of its discovery can excite the whole playerbase.
This is completely true, but its also extremely annoying to me, because when I send the game to friends who I know would love it if they get over the learning curve just seem to bounce off it because they think "is this all there is". And it's a very hard game to explain.
With this in mind, its very easy to see Frontier not getting the playerbase that they deserve and so it being an online only game, will be eventually shut down sooner than it should be. Its really unfortunate.
I have had success with 1 friend and we've sinked well over 300 hours together which co-op play in itself changes the game up so much.
For me it's the exploration side, I love spending a week or so going out to colonia and having that true 'lost in space' feeling.
