thinking of pledging £50, both for the reason of supporting such an awesome project but also to get into the beta.

I've never pledged to a project before, but i have strong feelings attached to Elite and thinking of the £50 too. Even contemplated £100 for a minute!

Does one get their money back if the target isn't met?

You don't pay unless the target is met in the first place, so yes.

And I'm not backing this. I've backed a lot of stuff recently, but these guys aren't even showing any concept art, so fuck that Smile

I'm not sure if there's room for Elite with EVE Online being as evolved as it is. Maybe Elite will give you a more immersive experience with a first person view. Maybe that's the niche that will save Elite. I hope so.

I really like the look of EVE Online, but i don't have the time needed to learn it or the inclination of paying a monthly subscription for the limited time i would play it.

@Acer i'm off to pledge my £50 see you in the beta in two years Razz

I believe his original was something around the lines of "there's an existing thread", so I'm guessing he was doing you a favour

Not that I'm advocating the use of the other thread, in fact, deleting it might help now, I only want to bring the news, not own it Smile

Thats what im hoping elite will be, very much an eve clone but with direct control of your ship and more varied missions for bounty hunters. Eve is one of the most atmospheric games ever but takes along time to get into.

No MMO, some optional cooperative play and more sense of exploration perhaps, and I'll be happy.
I'm on £20 by now but I'm expecting for a big box tier.

Eve is nothing more than a business simulator with some lasers. It is not fun for any newbie, and it doesn't have much 'fun' going for it.

At least Elite you had direct control over your ship, and I dunno, it just felt more 'fun' to me.

I adore space sim games. I adored Frontier, Freelancer and Freespace, all different examples of the genre. But Eve just felt like a chore.

looks like you've only seen the shit parts of eve. when skirmishing in nanofaggotry ships (or generally in frigates), manual piloting is the key to success. yes, it's not first/third person like freespace or freelancer and apart from some exceptions like bombs or high alpha artillery, you don't manually fire your weapons...but honestly, with all the other shit going on (module management and keeping situational awareness), i'm perfectly fine with just having to activate my guns and them tracking the enemy themselves Wink

And let's not forget there's also Star Citizen. Looks like the market will be over-saturated before the games have even been released. Very Happy

Those £300k were reached thanks to the nostalgia feeling.
The top tier at 5K is already sold out.

I'm taking the risk just for the sake that I know that this will be probably the last chance of getting an Elite sequel.

I hope this reaches and surpasses the goal. As you say Roger it's probably the last chance at a sequel. Braben will no doubt not peruse the project again if the funding fails. That's why this is worth every penny i pledged.

yeah i agree, I want this project to happen just to show more people and more old school developers the power of kickstarter. Maybe it'll give us sequals to some golden oldies like a new Planescape Torment game thats not a dumbed down cloen of DA2 etc etc
Also its Braben, doing a new Elite. That in itself should be enough that the project has huge potential not to mention not having a pushy publisher trying to force the devs to make a game that will "sell"

By adding multi player this game will never be the same experience as the original elite was.

I disagree. Can you imagine a 2014 Elite sequel without multi player? It will be so awesome to share the elite experience with other players.
