I just found this indie title, which, although it seems to have a small development team and somewhat humble graphics, I do notice interesting details such as clouds, cities, and ship interiors. Seeing what some small studios can achieve, I think Elite, aside from everything it brings us in mechanics, immersion, and incredible ships, would follow the example of these small AA companies in terms of new additions to our favorite sim.
