Holy Hell! If the project gets enough support to get started, it'll have multiplayer as well this time around.

Here's a Let's Play of Elite Frontier (1993):

If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Lol, a floppy was 2.8mb, I played it on a 48k ZX Spectrum, you could fit it onto a floppy more than 50times.
Elite Plus was the first I played. Didn't find out about Frontier until many years later. The graphics hadn't aged too well at that point. I remember buying something called "tribbles" at some point and regretting it. Unfortunately I hadn't seen the original Star Trek back hen.
I hope they make the flight controls feel smooth and slick, and with target tracking like in Freelancer. But I also hope we'll have more advanced flight options.
I really hope both this and Star Citizen turn out to be great. That could usher in a new era of space sims.
Hell yes.
I recently went back to Freelancer, since, sadly, there is not a single recent online game I am interested in atm except maybe TL2, which is not precisely "massive" at least when you talk about the actual gameplay. And yes, I know Freelancer is not that massive either, but with around 200 players online at peak times on the private server I am playing I get enough interaction (chasing pirates on my combat ship and beeing chased by pirates on my cargo, lol).
And then, BAM, Star Citizen and this!
This is the very first time for really long that I am mildly excited about a new game.
Please, guys, don't hype these two games too much. Just keep it realistic and let's see how things turn out.

To be honest, between the two I think one should support Elite. SC already got well above their desired goal, and two space sims are better than one!

Elite being the best space sim (plus or frontiers). I feel x took it too far, too much about industry, you stopped feeling like han solo doing spice runs.
Wing commander is beat by freespace1 & 2 as the mor e arcade style space game imo.

No he describes Elite.
You should google the games.
First one called Elite, second one called Elite frontier and the last one called Elite first encounter.

Would love to see a new "Elite" game.
Though this Kickstarter campaing for Elite seems to be pretty much rushed out of thin air...
