This video epically demonstrates the depth of the gameplay and flying in Elite. What he does appears easy but it really isn't. I hope Star Citizen accomplishes this level of complexity.

That is seriously some awesome shit. I don't know if it's just the story telling side of it or what, but damn if that isn't cool. I will definitely be playing this once its available to the masses.

Wow! The Cobra has really filled out since I last saw it! Used to play Elite on an Apple IIc. So much fun. This looks great!

While there will be a galactic 'story', there will not be Theme park stories in Elite. There will be many small / medium / long arcs that branches (ebb and flow) with player choices and behaviour.

'Story' here is used in the sense of meta state and politics of interaction between the main NPC entities (Federation / Empire and Independent) The galactic 'story' might be player influenced at a local level, but will certainly not be player driven.

Did anyone notice that at 2:15 when he picks up the one thing of liquor and knocks into the other which bounces off the ring of the space station and ends up in front of him quite nicely?

I am looking forward to this game. I'm hesitating to pick it up now because I'd likely be somewhere between moderate and casual player. I'm afraid I'll get bored of running stuff between stations (even sneakily). There has been rumour the game will be out by years end so it may be worth waiting at this point.
