DISCLAIMER 1: I'M IN AWE OF THE ENGINE. IT'S AMAZING
DISCLAIMER 2: IMO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING GAMEPLAY NEEDS SOME REWORK

No loading screens. This is the first game that delivers on it with no bs. I just love walking around, landing on stuff. Landing on a L ship with my Discoverer, walking about to poach their crewmember for a manager and standing on it's bridge as it docked with a station :o The crew and captain even has docking chatter that makes sense!

I love being taxi'd around as I gawk through the windows. I wish they will add proper "designed" ships later on, so you could get a ship with an observation deck. I love that the cockpit windows have those black dotty things around their edges like some IRL vehicles do.

I love the space suit. It just gives me goosebumps. It's perfect.

I love the mish-mash of different transport devices, all the (super-)highways, accelerators and jumpgates mixed together

The map and the station builder, ship assignments to bases, station managers are a nice thing
It's just so much fun to fly.
The feeling of scale is there too.

I really like (im extrapolating here) how moddable the game will be

I'm just so mad because I want to play lol so badly

Theres a lot of little details that i'm loving, but the biggest for me is how pirates are acting in this.
I love how they comm you and tell you to drop your cargo, and I love how they actually pick up your cargo too. I saw this happen in a stream. The streamer was in EVA and pirates showed up, he tried to get back to his ship but didnt make it, and his ship blew up. He was left floating in space - the pirate that destroyed his ship was on approach... the streamer though that the pirate was going to shoot him, but he just flew up, stopped, grabbed the boxes and boosted off :D All this was done in such a nonchalant way, very impressive.
Im also hearing reports that pirates are taking ships and actually using them now?
