And annoyingly, I don't have access to it! However, I do have access to the 1.5 beta, which is really whetting my appetite for Horizon's release, later this month.
I've been looking at videos from other players who are on the beta and landing on planets and the bases and new scavenging, trading and combat opportunities look like a lot of fun. The planets look gorgeous and the transition from super cruising through space, to coming down to the planet is impressive. I had been sceptical how they could realistically do it, but using the little shudder for a second or two between orbital cruise and planetary flight doesn't seem too intrusive on the "seamless" transition.
Another big aspect that many people have not talked much about, which I am looking forward to, is yet another expansion on the mission types. I noticed on the mission boards at stations that there are now bounty hunts which require you to intercept your target between a certain time. There are also missions where you need to look after cargo until further notice, which look very interesting and generally seem to have quite high rewards.
Basically, Frontier are filling out the game even more, as well as adding another dimension to the game. I haven't had much urge to play Star Citizen since purchasing it, but I think once I get access to their mini-universe I'll feel more tempted.
