    Combat, trading and exploration are in this game, the universe is very vast and good looking, however the feature "powerplay" is not able to make E:D as dynamic as EVE online

    Terragenesis is a good game, but it's gameplay differs too much to be in this list. It's mainly focused on planet management campaign rather than on any MMO pvp, pve or whatever category.
