Few things as exciting as being attacked by what appears to be an overwhelming enemy force, a couple of fighters in support of a couple of freighters, then when things seem the most dire, your battleship comes out of ing nowhere and unleashes destruction as never seen before upon the fools that ared to attack you :D
Though according to an interview with David Braben himself at this years GDC, Elite 4 is in the works!

EDIT:
And i now officially love my new phone.
yeah, wing commander on a phone! |
i dont wanna piss on your party but braben has been talking about elite 4 for ing ages. this speech is also at least a year old from memory. if he started it today we're still like 4 years away. and there is no evidence they've begun yet.
id also seriously improve the flight model. dumb it down in fact. dog fighting in elite was really tedious. id make it more like tie fighter, though with a tachyon-like strafe.
id also make it PC exclusive which braben could never do.
, not enough (any) space sims. oh, don't buy star raiders off steam. me, worst $10 ever. |

Yeah i know, apparently its been in development since 98, but then again a couple of weeks ago Duke Nukem Forever came out, and who thought that will happen, so all hope is not lost!
Well they did try to incorporate some laws of physics in their game, which is a laugh, since even on todays machines you rarely get a good physics engine, much less back then, so of course its going to be tedious :D
But yeah, putting it on a console would be an instant fail, but at the same time, i dont know if the pc market is big enough to cover the development cots and even make a profit :( So its a choice, put it on a console and target a large audience and make the game dumber, or target the nieche pc market and pray to all the gods in the multivers that you dont suffer a devastating loss :(
Its a sad state space sims are in :( |

Awesome. You do that, ill invest in building this for easy travel under water.
Another great idea!
BTW, woudnt a spiritual succesor to Elite be the X series? I loved each of those games, and was very sad when they said the would stop making them, and started doing carwhels out of joy when they said they will start making them again! |
