Can I enter? the only problem i have is the Ram amount, everything else is ok i think. i really want to play this and star citizen, but i know im really shut out of star citizen, Im looking to chance my MB to a ddr3 one and get 8 gbs ram, for me its impossible to change pc now. BTW is the game really that heavy? i still play lots of games in 1080p max and no problems, i can play tera and warframe 30fps+ no problems.

I'll put you in as that will run the game but Horizons content (planetary landings essentially) will be pretty laggy if even playable. Space (where most of the game is) should be ok at least at medium/low.

As said earlier, the system requirement thing is pretty flexible.

Yeah, you can craft some advanced pvp stuff on planets aparently from the things you harvest but honestly, I don't care for that. I'm an explorer... ;)

for sure i will be active.

And giveaway related... Elite dangerous was my goal since last year(a friend o mine won the game also). So far i've missed around 4-5 giveaways (youtube and different sites. And this is my first time missing one of a forum, this time not 'cause i was too late tho)
Maybe its time i'll consider putting money aside to buy it.

Thank you for your honesty.

I'm sorry but I can't allow it. Rules are rules there. I do giveaways from time to time so it might be worth being a regular member though. ;)

Maybe its time i'll consider putting money aside to buy it.

It's a great game that I would argue is worth the money, but wait for a sale (not sure if one is going on now or not). You can get it way cheaper than the stock price usually.

Relevant edit:

Look what I got today. Beats my old Lakon Type-6 for exploring I think...:

Yep. I make it a habit of mine to drop money on a paint job I like on a major purchase (Asp is decked out so qualifies). It's useless yes, but it supports the devs and I like it.
