I've followed this series for a long time, each game in the series is really just a new version re-packaged. I remember playing either the very first or second iteration many years ago and it felt undercooked, but the latest game is actually really good. In fact, I'd say I've had more fun with this than Elite Dangerous.
+ Dynamic economy for traders.
+ A background war simulation with three factions. Systems can be captured and defended.
+ Enter and land on any planet, even atmospheric ones.
+ Seamless universe. Every object in space you can see, you can go there. No loading screens.
+ Fully functional VR
+ Walk on planets with mech, but you must find it first.
+ Fly anywhere using jumpgates, jump drives, or just inertia.
+ Realistic flight model.
+ Space or planetary mining, fuel harvesting, tractor beam.
+ Build your own spaceship with components and appearance using custom parts.
+ Build your colony on planets.
+ Large variety of missions, from collecting wildlife sample, to racing.
+ Huge galaxy to explore. What you see on your map is not even a fraction of what you can find by simply exploring.
+ Local hosted or client/server multiplayer.
I've played for dozens of hours and still feel like I've only scratched the surface. I have played mainly as a miner and trader, and haven't done much combat. It does get interesting when the enemy faction takes over a trade route you were using.
