If you wanna try Star Citizen, there is currently a Fly-free code. Go to https://robertsspaceindustries.com/promotions/citizencon2k15 And use the code CITCONFLIGHT2K15 I think this will be valid for ~2 weeks (dont know the exact date it ends)
I think it will excessnet, but it will probably take them longer than they think. I wouldnt expect a full release until mid/end 2017 really. But hopefully Squadron 42 (the single player part) gets released in 2016 atleast.
This game have a verrry nice potential. I see this as a EvE Online, but in First Person mode (i.e.: you do buy stuff, but directly to the station, not on a control panel)
Well they managed to make Privateer back in the 90's, why shouldn't they be able to pull off something similar with better graphics now? As long as they don't set their ambitions way too high and stumble over them, it should be a decent game at the end. Whether thats 2017 or 2018 ... doesn't really matter
