David touched on the probability that we will see planetary landing like in the original games. Personally I think this is why Elite was so successful. Is there a time frame for when this will be possible? Within the year, more than???

Thanks again,

Hi Michael/David,

I'm a massive fan of the Amiga Elite games and for me they are still the best overall games I have played on any platform. Personally I like to explore and feel like I'm getting around without being pushed in a direction via a story line. In the early 90's I wrote a 10+ page letter to Frontier with ideas for updating the excisting game but sadly never got a reply. I'm probably one of thousands to have done this through the years I am sure! The excitement I had when hearing of the new game certainly made the years I have aged seem to drop away [mentally] and like everybody else can't wait for the release date to come around. I have a couple of questions if you dont mind... 1. At some point in the past it was banded around that if Elite was ever to be remade there would be an additional option, a button you could press when in a Space port or Space Station, 'Leave Spacecraft!'. Is there a plan to have a third person perspective part of the game where you can wonder, approach other travellers, operate mining equipment, do repairs etc and even carry out assinations by hand with the need to then high tale it back to your spacecraft and leg it out of the system? 2. Wanting to have a computer that can play E:D graphics at top spec will there be an anouncement way ahead of the main release so we can all start putting our pennies to one side so we can buy our nice new Elite PC's?

Thanks for reading this and thank you for reigniting the passion!
