You forgot the ridiculously detailed, rich and vibrant sound! That soundscape as you undock is just nuts, on a good set of cans. The best I've ever heard in a game. Love ED!

Edit: I played on a 34" ultrawide with TrackIR and the Warthog HOTAS. The immersion is staggering. Sadly my throttle has died so it's on hold until I can get a new set.
