Millenium Falcon

I'd like to point out straight away that this is not a serious request for a feature, merely boyhood desires (strange, but I also like girls as well).

could the developers create a millennium falcon flyable model for use in Elite?

I know its a lot to ask and the juggernaut that is Disney would want billions and billions, but please, please please, can I have this in time for my Birthday, I'll be extra good I promise.

I would just like to point out, (in a laid back way) I'm not for the Elite Universe being overrun by other brands/imagery/folklore etc,etc,etc.

I do agree with the comments here that the Elite Universe is unique to itself and should remain so.

ok, Serious question for development, is it possible (financial/technical or otherwise) to create the Modding infrastructure to support the addition and complete modelling of ships, whether that be for offline or online use (as long as each Multiplayer participant has the same mods installed?)

I don't want to change the Universe, I'll let other people do that

LOL.
I could see that as a player mod at some point, but I doubt that will ever make it for release. Although Frontier did make something for Disney so... :rolleyes: :p

You could name your ship Millennium Falcon.

50% of players will be doing that so you won't feel like the odd one out.

:eek: Oh yeah, I went there!

I always thought the Asp Explorer looked similar, there might be some way of putting the cockpit on the side, we don't know how the ship modularisation will work.

strangely enough I agree with you, the idea of this I suppose would be for offline play just to satisfy the 8 year old in me.

And of course there are licensed games with models from film and tv shows already

At first it was ok in Freelancer, but the it became crazy with loads of famous ships flying about... It kinda devalues the original design of the ship and loses the attachment you have to the film, I hope that makes sense :)

I would love to see The Liberator from TV's Blakes 7. Probably much easer to secure the rights to than the MF.

OK hands up who dont who what its is :)

Nice wish but Elite has its own ships and designs, by all means expand that with original designs but keeping in feel with the designs of the ships already in circulation.
Mechanically speaking the Elite mechanics for Sublight and FTL propultion are completely different to that in Star Wars as is the weapon and shield systems so in the end you would have an Elite ship in a Millenium Falcon shell.

PS devilhunter: I am currently introdoucing the wife the series. Loved it then and love it as much now even with the wooden sets!

Why look towards other Sci-Fi franchises when FD's Elite games have always produced great classic designs :)

I like Star Wars universe but not as much as Star Trek one, why not adding the mythic Enterprise-D?

No seriously, as others said Elite have its own style.

I'd think tributes to other sci-fi can be put in without resorting to ships, how about a planet whose capitol city looked like Farpoint Station?

or a desert world with a town that has a remarkable resemblance to Mos eisley?

planets, similar looking landscapes yes, chances are that will be unavoidable but I'm with the crowd in saying no to direct involvement of other universes, how would you reconcile the different tech for one thing? both Trek & SW have AG, Elite doesn't
