Best Ever SINGLE DISK Amiga Game?

You can start in Solar system (with all planets and satelites), and hundreds of other system you can travel (nobody measured how much systems Frontier have)

But it had 2 weakness, imho:
1) Non arcade dogfights. It maybe had better physics model then Elite, but Elite was way more fun in dogfights. Frontier made it very automated, and boring. The assassination missions is fun, though.
2) No campaign at all. Elite have some sort of unique missions (that someone could call it campaign), but Frontier just have several types of procedural missions. Once you do them all several times, buy a best ship out there you like, nothing much to do in the game.

I think that's good about what you say with the extra detail BUT I also think that was David Braben's weakness back then- his passion was much more creating a huge universe instead of focusing on improving gameplay and making the combat more exciting (like you say). Also people with A500's said it was ultra slow even on low details. Ian Bell was missed for the sequel I think!

I still haven't played Elite : Dangerous (I still have an Xbox 360 as my most recent console!) but from what I read at the time, Braben had realized the mistakes he made with Frontier by that time.
