    Combat, trading and exploration are in this game, the universe is very vast and good looking, however the feature "powerplay" is not able to make E:D as dynamic as EVE online

    It's almost exact copy as EVE online. 4 factions, each with different focus. Simplified industry, I played few weeks and you can't mine personally, only send out NPC recruits on mining, bounty or some other missions. Weapon and damage types are almost same as in EVE, energy, hybrid, projectile, missiles...
