If your considering buying Elite, do it. It's may not be perfect in every aspect, possibly even in most aspects, but's it's certainly worth your money.
I almost never play in the "open world" but occassionally with friends and I don't personally think the game suffers for that play style.
The systems are pretty, especially if you install a graphics mod but that's really not neccessary. The gameplay is challenging without being difficult to the point that you get frustrated. Well I say that but I did get extremely frustrated in the begining before I knew what I was doing.
So on that note, check out some guides here on Steam, or on any other reputable Internet place and get a feel for what you want to do in the game before you get started. Then go for it.
