I think I may actually buy the Panther for ARX.
I have a shit ton saved up that I never really spent.

The big problem with Elite Dangerous is the developers are obsessed with making it feel like an actual job opposed to a sandbox with fun activities.

Going back to freelancer made me realize how backwards Elite really is.
Also in freelancer you can target a planet / station, click the info button and get a lore dump.
This made exploring actually pretty fun.
