Not as cheap as the £9.99 deal a while back but still a decent discount.
The link is for frontierstore.net but same price on Steam - your choice.

In brief, Elite Dangerous (ED) is the core game where you fly around space in different spaceships and dock at various space stations. In space you can trade or smuggle commodities, mine for precious minerals/metals, explore new systems and kill others for credits. ED also includes Arena which is a "dip in and out" quick fire PvP game. Horizons is essentially an expansion pack which extends the game area to planetary landings where you can land your ship and drive a buggy on the surface. Horizons also adds additional features such as crafting to improve your ship. More features are to follow as time goes by.
You can play ED on its own without Horizons, but you will miss out on the additional features which will also impact the game area in space.
At the moment, Frontier are also selling the Elite Dangerous Deluxe pack which includes both ED and Horizons for £26.79.
Fly safe commander!

As an early funder, I was disappointed with the missions, but now feeling a bit milked too.

Yeah having paid 50 quid for the beta it I feel that way too, also having known someone who worked at the studio I don't really like the way they do things compared to some other independent studios.
Thing is even though it's not finished I like Star Citizen a lot better as the ships are fun to fly. And they also show you that the fans will just flat out GIVE you money if you make a good game and keep them engaged, no need to bilk them for money just to get core features of the game.

What's the difference between elite dangerous and horizons? Is horizons an add-on? was looking to buy it during steam's VR sale.

The additional features including... driving on a planet in a car thing and the tedious process of flying from space to the planetary surface.

Why do Elite fanboys get so butthurt when the game is criticised? It's a boring, repetitive game that becomes tedious after 20 hours, deal with it. I was a huge fan of the old games but the new one has all substance of the one I played on the Amiga 500 in 1993, not acceptable for a modern game.

Does this include Arena or is that an additional purchase?

Hadn't played this game in months till the other day. Works pretty well on a 5x in a bobovr headset. Don't know if Im out of practice or something but combat seems a lot harder than it was. Still can't decide if this is worth the upgrade...

NPCs are now tougher opponents due to changes implemented in recent updates.
