Elite Dangerous + Hellion would be the best game ever, I'm thinking haha
Frontier: take a look at Zero Gravity Games fantastic effort with Hellion, which is still a work in progress, so to speak, much like Elite.
They bring a level of detail, realism, etc., and, most importantly, space legs, EVAs, etc., that Elite is desperately lacking.
I think it would be the perfect marriage. All I want to do in Elite is walk around in my ship. Have to go to a dock to buy a new part, and pay someone at the dock to fix it for me, or fix it myself.
Or maybe buy some spares of certain parts, and maybe something breaks in the middle of space, far from a dock, and the auto-field maintenance unit is non-functional (or you don't have one), and you have to manually repair something yourself, in your ship or an EVA. This is a gameplay mechanic Elite needs.
Think about it
