Has anyone one seen this, and what do you think? I can remember playing elite back in the 90's and it was very good. It also offers free flight and real dogfights.

Yep, I've seen it. Some good competition for Star Citizen. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Plenty of them in Planetside 2 right now and you don't have to wait couple of years. Also Elite is mostly singgle player game afaik - same for Star Citizen (they both aren't MMOs) - so doesn't worth too much attention (in my case). |

Never been a big fan of F-16's with a Space background. I mean there are some games I can get in to but they are not my cup of tea. I like my space games with big warships, not tiny fighters.
I am a little sad that their are Fighter Jets in EVE even if they are NPC controlled. What I find puzzling about them is they are said to be 5000m3, or the size of 200 Heavy Drones and still be 20m long, have a tiny cockpit, flimsy design and the raw HP of a Battlecruiser.
I think they should look like Frigate <> Destroyer sized ships (100ish meters) designed so that a one man crew can pilot them short distances devoting more power to defenses. It is very odd that a 3km long Carriers can only carry only 20, 20m long fighters while a 360m long Nimitz fits like 70. Frigate sized Fighter Ships designed to operate with 1 crew member for short term flight would be a much better design. Also they should get rid of those 15m wide cockpits on Frigates and replace them with a bridge.

The evolutionary tree went: Elite, X3 series, EvE Online.
So it will be interesting to see which evolutionary path an Elite reboot would take twenty years later. EvE Forum Bingo |

I thought Eve was meant to be more of a Homeworld where individual players flew the ships. |
