Yes! Just yes!
That simple really, this has everything that you expect and is a great game. You do need to grind a bit to get the credits you need, but this is expected. I did Elite right from the first release on the Beeb and was worried about it being revived, especially after First Encounters, but this delivers. Great game! Backed it from the Kickstarter phase with hope and it has, eventually, delivered. Recommended.
