Elite / Frontier frontier elite 2 mysterious features

well after deep search i did find some info that this game had concept for few interessing features. that what i found

Insurance, ship hulls & convoys

Frontier: Elite 2 also included code for the buying and selling of ship hulls and insurance, and escort duty for convoys. They were not completed, and never activated in the final release. The insurance feature I can live without as it sounds rather mundane anyway. The escort duty, however, is a great loss. If executed properly this could have been a prime occupation in Frontier, and one of the most exciting forms of interaction with the AI.

The Fighter Launch Device

This is another piece of equipment that eludes the common Frontier gamer. No, it doesn't exist. Well, it does, but you can't buy one. Its name is self-explanatory: it launches fighters from big ships in the heat of combat or to go and fuel scoop for the mother ship. It can be obtained by hacking but once acquired on your ship it doesn't actually do anything.

i was curious if they could be brought back to life for FE2/FFE. the concept of fighter launch device would be simple - miniature version of kestrel airfighter or falcon airfighter deployable from ship that could fit the fighter launch device,lost fighters could be replaced in stations in service mode where you are repairing damage etc. ...another piece i would take look are convoys,i think these would be not too hard to bring in,it could be sort of mission where you have to follow ship X to destination in one piece then come back for reward,also you could see other convoys driven and escorted by npcs, you could also ambush them for goods they carry.

to not create another thread decided to post it there aswell. lets take look at FFE, its also sweet game, im giant fan of FE2/FFE and original elite series and so elite plus etc. lets take look on the poor frontier first encounters. after argent quest missions you get some thargoid/inra missions but from what i know and heard they cant be started or completed,these missions were not fully coded in,i am curious if they could be repaired and made playable at some point?

i know its big dream that would never happen but what about multiplayer for Fe2/FFE with hamachi support?
