Greys make the best stories, usually unpredictable. Hopefully some of that will colour the politics underlying the missions, and will really require, in addition to exceptional procedural modelling in missions the touch of good (story) composers that hopefully are with FD.
Especially considering the scales involved (.. well, have to bring this back on subject..).

I never saw Star Cops, and had actually forgotten all about it.

I saw what you did there. Oh, yeah and the "on topic" thing too.
This "version" is faaaaaar way better than the original design of the Liberator!
BURN THE HERETIC!
Yes the effects budget was about the same as a few old fairy bottles and some sellotape, but the dialogue was excellent I think. Kerr Avon did have a pretty major effect on a younger me.

You know, I was thinking... I never was far away while playing the original Elite, so I don't know almost nothing about the lore of the game. The few things I know I read in the website and in the blog(?), but I really don't know nothing about the Empire, The Federation, the Allies or any other civilization or empire (human or alien) of the game. Could you recommend me a website where I can find more information about Elite: Dangerous universe?

You could do a lot worse than start here - http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7595
Andrew does a good summary, and his links will fill in some gaps. The "lore" may be revised in the new game, by how much we've not been told.
If you play in Solo or Private online you could be in the Sol system and never see another player!
But I get your point. It would take you literally thousands of years to visit them all, and only for a few seconds too.
I couldn't find a YouTube video of the scene I am thinking of, rep to the 1st who finds it!BURN THE HERETIC!

Some of the Blakes 7 crew are running through tunnels and I think climbing or descending a ladder? To make this one scene, and thus the tunnel "complex" appear larger, they play this sequence multiple times flipped sideways and with a different colour filter over the top!

oops!
I think it's "pressure point"

Corrected, my bad!
Thank you. I'll began to read the thread on this link ASAP. :smilie:
And finally, it will be truly unique ?
This is the greatest mystery of all!

Just so long as there are edible poets I'd be happy...
For 'edible poets', you need to look no further!
It's been discussed already, if not in this thread, then on other ones
But why would we need more than one galaxy? knowing that we'll never see the end of it, well, aside from its "top & bottom" sides...?
Since it's a game, whatever could be generated in another galaxy could be generated in the MW as well. And you would need more than a hyperspace jump to reach even the magellanic clouds.
the only thing i'd say would be interesting is the ability to look back at the MW from afar.
