I've used that same argument myself before too Kappa, that part of the reason is also the target demographic and the numbers of players. I'm sure if those responsible for CS GO stuff turned their attention here, it IS possible they could create havoc. Luckily they aren't too interested in this sort of game.
Elite is going to be a lot of fun I think.
I still like the Starship combat in Star Citizen/Arena commander a bit better, now that trackIR works and they control system has been somewhat fixed there. I've been doing a lot of random online fights there, and once you figure out how to decouple fight, spin on your axis while traveling in a direction you aren't facing, using thrusters to pop up down, left/right, and so on, it's like adding a bunch of new dimensions to our regular type of flight model in an atmosphere here. Complex, but a lot of fun. Then adding in turreted/gimbaled weapons that can be tracked with your head/trackir - a very, very complex and cool fighting environment.
