Just had to say it.
I have been dropping in on this flaming forum once a year for ages and ages it seems. And never any news. And now you have made my year!
Just pledged what I can on the Kickstarter site and had to say thank you to David and Frontier for bringing out this project. I have been waiting for this announcement for ten years or more! I was 27 waaay back in 1993 when I played Elite Frontier and now you have made an older and still as daft 46 year old very, very happy.
Well if it meets the Kickstarter goal I will be, although with 10% having already been funded just by midday of the first day I dont see any likely problems - I hope!
I played Frontier to death constantly for months and months. In fact there have been very few games I have played to death like I did with Frontier and First Encounters. EF2000 and Falcon 4 are about the only ones I remember playing with the same enthusiasm, and I have played a heck of a lot of games over the years. I particularly loved the freedom and the vastness of the Elite games. You really felt like a tiny part of a massive space opera with so much that was unexplored around you. Not to mention the impressiveness of entering a system and seeing all the realistic stars and planets following their proper paths, just like they would in real life. It was very impressive.
So I am very excited, very hopeful, a little worried and full of anticipation. Next year is going to be a very long year!
Cheers again. Hope you get to the funding goal. And as I said on the Kickstarter site - my wife is going to hit the roof when she finds out but hey - how could I not pledge something for THE next Elite game!!
Superb news
