Overall i like the update its a good addition to the game. But its just a glorified beta at retail price, Its a buggy unfinished mess at times and some times it all works perfectly. Sad to see no extra ships. The starting tutorial is sh*t, very vague and does not explain very important features, and 9/10 times it bugs out and you have to skip it. The new map is really annoying too, like don't fix what ain't broke FDEV the old map was perfectly fine and functioned seamlessly. This old one if you wanted to see the system map you could just click on the system and the option was right under it. now you have to click on it and its now its own separate button at the bottom on the right like why it was fine where it was, Also don't know if its just me but i can no longer target bookmarked stations and planets from the bookmarks list have to go into the system map then target it.....

PRO'S:
- Nice to see a very big update to elite for the first time in a long time
- The general graphics overhaul looks stunning (when it works properly)
- On foot concept fits the game massively and adds a lot of other experiences which were not there before

CON'S:
- Game is currently in a unstable mess constant black screen to disconnect errors (as of 2/3 days after release)
- Mission Payouts for going to the settlements seem really stingy like 100-400k /mission. Might as well jump in a cutter and do a mapped painite run in 1hr and make 200mil in the time it takes to fly over there do the objective then come back for 100k like bruh im good thanks.
- Ads feel kinda bullet spongy (Might change with engineered weapons)
- Still feels unoptimized. 30-120 fps in starports with a 3080 and a R7 5800x in 1440p at ultra settings.
