I can imagine all too well I have played eve-online for 6 years. Just saying that elite for everybody is a great memory and single player experience. Adding other people to play with invariably makes the experience different.

Right so before you know it they will have to decide how they create their sandbox universe, will you have a pvp flag, or pvp and pve servers, private servers ? will you have mmo style loging in to a central server with authentication etc. As said I am curious how Braben will tackle this issue.

I sometimes forget that not all people play fair. The griefing aspect of multiplayer i definitely don't want to be part of.
I don't think the 80's memory of elite will ever be recreated. I was 14 at the time and living in a very different technology time. It's got to evolve but i do pray it's not multiplayer compulsory.

The thing about Elite (or Frontier or Freelancer or Black Prophecy, et al) is the same with EVE -- being a dick is part of it, especially for people playing as a Pirate, but I guess there should be some way to limit HOW much of a dick people can be. In FL, for instance, servers had specific mods installed and restrictions on how players could fight each other -- such as the requirement of having to have a "Pirate" ID card mounted before they could attack non-Pirate ships .. and by being a Pirate, that leaves you open to being attacked by Military and Police also.

I agree. I'm quite positive that it won't be impose.

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. |
Seems like you and me have been playing different games. I've been playing EVE - on and off - since 2006 and I have around 10.000 PvP kills on www.eve-kill.net. If you think EVE is a chore that's a personal opinion and I can't refute your personal feelings. I do however refute that EVE is nothing more than a business simulator, because I've played it for many years and I've never been involved in the business aspect. You can opt to play EVE just like you want and that is it's strenght.
Now back to discussing Elite, although it is very difficult to discuss a game like Elite, without getting into referals/comparisons with EVE.

Elite with Lan-Servers as in "I am hosting my Session,feel free to join me and do your own thing" would rock

If we wanted that, we'd be playing EVE and not Elite
