Hi David, I wrote a Java port of Elite: The New Kind, back in 2003 at http://javanicus.org It was written to honour the memory of Elite on a platform that could easily be kept for future generations. What is your feeling on direct ports like TNK and my own, I never want to disrespect your work, and how influential Elite is. Wishing you lots of luck with the last few days of the kickstarter, it's going to be a great time :-)

I still play the original Elite on my laptop on the way to work. Will I be able to play 'Elite: Dangerous' in a single player mode without any connection to the net? Thanks.

Hi David, how about a 'nostalgia theme', with BBC Micro sounds (lasers especially) and wireframe ships, as a reward for the first single player mission? :-) It would be lovely...

Given that MUPUS et al. found a very hard crust, do you think a Meringue is a good analogy for 67P, or is it a light and fluffy snowball (which hasn't been compacted down) with a sun baked crust? Do you have evidence that this very hard crust is equal around the comet, or could some areas have thinner/no crust? b.t.w. Thanks to the scientists and engineers for the new observations, really cool!
