Looks interesting. As you say it seems as if it's stalled though. Be nice to see it up and running.

Elite multiplayer is still very much in development, only today I have fixed a few bugs in the flight model and im adding the Stockmarket to the game engine.

That's good news. What stage are you guys at?

And welcome to the forum.

Apologies if this is what you are doing, but an online Multiplayer version of the original elite with just the addition of instant messaging so players can communicate with each other would go down an absolute storm. Could it be easily done?

Not surprising, the link doesn't work. I've heard about multiplayer Elite for years, but it never happens. The basic game has already been made and is very simple, why has nobody ever completed a multiplayer version? If someone can explain how online multiplayer games work and how to get one started then I'll make the game if necessary!

Look at how long it's been since the topic got created. Heck, even the date between the previous post and yours is about 14 months.

The site's likely been down for most of that.

Hey the link was working by the time I posted it. However it seems that the project was not finished.

By the way, not multiplayer, but the next version of MPL3D Solar System is including an user customizable spaceship mode, and it will be available soon.

It allows to load and pilot any custom mesh as a spaceship, and describe its visual and physical behaviour. Then you can travel all along the galaxy, allowing to visit all the stars and planets. The flight mode is newtonian, with gravity forces affecting the ship flight, and allowing higher than light speed velocities. All integrated with the simulation clock, etc.

The spaceships can also be equiped with lasers, that are to be used in an in-built asteroid game. It can even destroy planets and such.

You can take a look of MPL3D Solar System v1.3 progress in the MPL3D facebook page:

Here is a picture of how it looks:

Hope you like it.

in the absence of the much wanted E4 I'd love a series of diecast Elite and Frontier ships. Also, multiplayer frontier on my 360 with LIVE support AND ship customisation a la Forza Motorsport. That'd be good for me.

I think that if FE2 or FFE was to get re-released on a modern format, it could work well on the Wii, with the thumbstick on the Nunchuck controlling space flight, and the wiimote taking on the job of the mouse. Then again, there's probably loads of other options control-wise.

The original Elite would probably work best for multiplayer, while the Frontier universe would likely be too vast for players to reliably meet / trade / fight.
