In terms of gameplay E:D didn't deliver. I ceased keeping track in mid-2017, but by then it was inferior to FFE.

What's FFE?

Whether or not you liked E:D, it's still a fully released game that felt polished, albeit shallow.

But that's besides the point. Parent poster was drawing equivalencies between the two games' release timings, and my point is those equivalencies aren't actually comparable.

I think it's Frontier: First Encounter, which is a 1995 game that's the precursor to E:D in the Elite series.

I don't see how E:D is inferior to it, but YMMV.
