Yes, here's another who has been doggedly visiting the old site at regular intervals (around once a week), for news on Elite IV. I'd almost given up entirely this year when nothing new had been posted for about 5-6 months.
Low and behold the reason...a new web site entirely! Sweet.
Like many others I'll buy Elite IV as I'm quite confident that it'll be a winner. Recent games from Frontier have all been fine examples of Frontiers quality and innovation.
I've also been amazed at recent space simulation titles that still haven't managed to land on planets! Freelancer, the X series, even EVE, spring to mind.
To David Braben & all who work at Frontier, I've waited 5 years already, I can wait another 5 for you to make Elite IV the best it can be.
Cheers!

PS. Just imagine if some software house was able to 'port' Frontier & FFE to modern day graphics and sound engines. A new generation of gamers would be hooked, and just as eager for Elite IV as I am.
