TLDR:
In its current state, I can only recommend this DLC if you have the patience and can keep a calm mind while dealing with crashes, bugs, lack of optimization and a lack of co-op content. If you're a solo player with a beefy top of the line PC then you're totally fine. But if you're like me, someone who enjoys online games with friends and a mid tier PC, then wait.

Full Review:


Pros: The game play is smooth and complex. It really feels like your actually making an impact while in a firefight while needing to strategise against BOTS.

The Missions are somewhat diverse with all sorts of new fetch quests and assassination/bounty hunting styles. It really makes you excited when reading the mission descriptions.

The difficulty is just what you would expect out of ED. It shows you the new controls then throws you into the world to literally F*** around and find out. One slip and you will be punished with either death or a really difficult firefight .

Cons:

The game is extremely unoptimized, Im running an I7-7700K, 32 GB ram, and a 1060 6gb and barely hitting a stable 40 fps while my boots are on the ground on the lowest settings. I used to run this game on ultra easily hitting around 120 FPS with no dips.

The coms menu while your in FPS mode (Press and hold Q btw) is really disgusting and hard to navigate.

Constant crashing: When trying to play this game with my friend I crashed 3 times in a row just trying to do 1 mission together. The error was "Orange Sidewinder" and the way to fix it is by taking your own ship, you CANNOT ride in a friend/crew mates ship at all while playing together.

And the last nail in the coffin is the lack of co-op content. While you are able to assist your friends in missions like normal. You will not receive any rewards for them even if your are on the same team/in a crew together (which makes absolutely no sense seeing that this game is supposed to be played online).

So going back to the TLDR, If you enjoy playing games alone with the occasional friend to play with, AND you have a really high end pc, then yea buy this expansion. But if you only really enjoy this game (or other online games) with friends then put it in your wish list and wait for a sale even if you have a nice PC.
