Enjoyed the Q&A last night, as DrBaggy pointed out DB was a bit coy about E4.
A couple of the Questions stood out for me
Q: Modern space games don't have the immediacy and rapidity of Elite ie cutscenes. Would you retain the arcadestyle in an update? (webfundi)
DB: Yes. Personally, I find long cut scenes annoying as they detract from the game.
That is great news as far as Im concerned, I know that games have to put the story across, but Elite never did that ingame, you found out as you went along.
Q:I loved Elite and Frontier, never played F2. Any chance of even an update or reimagining of Elite for PC? Or Elite 4

(steeliXS)
D.Braben: Who knows… watch this space! 
Cue huge grin, anyone at Frontier like to elaborate on this???
I was chuffed to bits to see my question come up there

not as much as my 6yr old daughter who went mental for ages
Shame it was only for 1/2 hour and not many questions from the forum (from what I could tell were up there.
I can't see E4 not being made, It would have been great to get a timescale on it even a confirmation that production had started. but as our friends at Frontier are a shy and retiring bunch.......perhaps one of them could point out to DB that he hasn't been on here for a while though.
Really enjoyed it.
