There's no such thing as "too realistic" physics. If people want to dogfight they should download a flight sim. Space has no friction or drag.

I hope this project really isn't dead. Lack of updates or progress reports after a long while tends to equal dead even if you (as the developer) don't think it is. Take Duke Nukem Forever, for example.

This looks Brilliant. One of the many great features of the Original BBC Version of Elite was having a good dogfight. This I think was lost to some extent when David created Frontier with all too realistic zero grav flight physics. Please "invent" an appropriate ship drive that allows for a good old dogfight rather than too realistic 0 G flight dynamics. Cheers

hi there just to say looking good ive played all the elite game this looks very good im looking foward to playing it if you need a beta tester im ready for a challange.

I am a big fan of the elite series, I play it more than freelancer and X2. After seeing the screens for this however, I believe that David Braben has his work cut out if he wants to beat this in Elite 4. When is it going to be finished anyway!!!!

Sweet stuff! I've been watching the development of this game for years now and I'm getting impatient!

I am working on as similar Project, but when I look at your screenshots, i want to cry. I would give an arm and a leg for having such an engine !!

Please, don't try to recreate reality. Take what you have, and make a game out of it. Otherwise you won't ever finish this Project, and that would be a shame.

You've done amazing work, please keep it up!

Awe......

So, is this still in development? I found this page, and got very excited about what I see, and then I see... is the end of the line 2001? Is this still on??

Dude... I've been dying for a new Elite. Once a month I do my rounds searchin for an alternative, and I think I've tried most of em on the market.
From an elite lover this has to be good. Graphics look amazing.

How soon can we expect a demo, or beta?

This is some of the best graphics for a space game i've seen in a long time you must release a demo NOW!!!

Ehm are we sure that nasa is going to Mars or do they use your software ?
I would call this FFE5 let's skip ffe4 what a graphics great amazing.

let me now if you need some artwork to be done (my site is about human models, but i can draw or paint also other things).

Looks great!!! Do you need help??? (design,concept,3D meshes)???

JEEZ! I just realised you got he same birthday as me!

See, people born on this date are inteligent gods! NICEONE MATE!

Absolutely AMAZING!

I want, I want, I want...
