And Elite has "Flight Assist Off" where every input has to be countered with opposing input, where every directional change will keep going until you counter it. The only limitiation is on yaw (ship thruster are positioned to make optimal use of pitch and roll) and top speed. If you think turning on a dime via tiny thrusters which result in producing 10's of Gs is more real sim then well...
It's fine if you don't like it, I can't stand QT, I think it's an extremely lazy implementation but calling something that provides full control and different avenues of gameplay a minigame... is just like... come on. You know if SC had that and Elite had QT you would be singing its praises
Interdictions can be easy against lower ranked NPCs and much more difficult against higher ranked ones, interdictions against more skilled players are also much more difficult to win.
What seems to be the problem here, is you don't want to admit that other games have some stuff better than your beloved Star Citizen, you're like well it doesn't have that now but when it does it's going to be 1000x better!

Damn.... you and your "my dad is bigger than your dad" arguments. You refused to answer when you last played Elite and yet you want to act like some sort of authority as to what can be done in the game. You probably played it back in 2015 when they introduced planetary landings and have no idea what has changed since then. There is a ton of stuff that you can do, just educate yourself man.
It's a GAME, of course it's going to take liberties with reality, it's a fucking game. The game world is 1:1 scale (or close to it) do you really think people should fly around at a realistic speed? Because nobody would have left the first fucking star system after 5 years.....
The idea around supercruise is the use of the
Alcubierre Drive

Take note Kenn, these are all well presented critiques and acknowledgement than games can do things differently and people can see the good in them even if it is not particulary what they want.
More recently they added an auto module for supercruise so you can sit back, hands off, read the codex, read/listen to Galnet, sort your weapon/module priorities etc. There is always the risk of interdictions though so it's not a fully automated system.
