There have been some notable game developers who have collaborated with Zen Studios to bring original pinball table versions of their game worlds/IP to life, from Walking Dead to Portal, to Elder Scrolls. Good quality tables.
Besides being a great cross-promotional opportunity (and another revenue stream), I think that Elite's gameplay could make for some awesome table designs. Ranking up to Elite could trigger wizard mode, missions could be mini-games with different activities like combat/exploration/mining strew across the table play field to increase your credits/multipliers (aka score). Loop combos could trigger hyperspace jumps, and if you get enough you could reach a Sag A multiball! So many possibilities...
Table packs often come in 3's, which I think would be cool to could include:
..but could also see a Planet Coaster or other IP being a good fit too (although off course I really want the Elite ones
)
If it every happened, I would finally have a good reason to build a themed Elite Pinball Cabinet.. hehe!

- Elite Classic Table (wire frames and retro sounds and all!)
- Thargoid Table
