I suspect this game will push the limits of most connections and systems. However, even at 20-30 GB now, alot of people are having download issues from hangs to corrupted files irrespective of data rate. I see this being a pain in the ass.

so, 20-30GB for garage? Is there anything else in the game? (I didn;t follow it, last thing I saw is that they are going to add dogfight in 2-3 maps, something like that)

I am talking about you flying your spacecraft and shooting at other players.

this is from april 2014, it still wasn't available to public and wasn't working properly

Yes. The dogfighting module.
It's now called arena commander and has been out for a long time:

It's not perfect as it's still pre alpha, but I have been flying and shooting things.

I have AMD FX-6300 oc'd to 3.8
8 gig ddr3
HD7770 1 gig mem

The game ran like crap. Couldn't even play it. Massive freeze ups when I ran the game. I think this game will not be playable unless you pay for top of the line system. Won't even try it again.

Well, that's a weight off my chest.
Most games that wants to delivery it all usually fail, so I expected that.

Ya there are other games out there like Elite Dangerous.. I had interest in this game but I've always believed it will be made to support top-end hardware and sorry I'm not blowing a stupid amount of money on a new video card, mobo and ram..

that rig isn't really good enough for most games nowadays. 7770? That's a very weak card, it was weak when it came out, 2 years ago.

I have a GTX 580 (about on pair with that AMD card).
Not very keen on picking up a new card until they're so expensive.
Most games play just fine in 1920*1200, with medium or high setting.
