Elite was one of the first games I have played, and one of the most exciting at the time.
David Braben, one of the two original developers, tried to revive the old Elite with Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters during the 90s, but they were both incomplete, buggy attempts.
Now he's at it again. Will he succeed in a market pretty much covered by Eve Online and X?
Does he have anything new to add after practically inventing the genre?

He's at 345K out of 1250K pounds at the moment (and slowing down), with not much to say or show at the moment - we can only hope for updates and at least some concept art.
