If you're a fan of the original space combat/trading sim Elite, you should head off to the Elite:Dangerous kickstarter and make a pledge if you haven't already done so.

David Braben is back with a new vision for the game including multi-player, a dynamic player influenced galaxy along with the same old staples of making money, buying a better ship and shooting pirates.

Scavenger Hunt

If you're looking for more info check out the Dev Diaries on the Kickstart page. The enthusiasm the creator has for his game is infectious.

I'm looking forward to coralling some of my MT group into flying some trade routes or pirate hunts with me.

The Kickstarter is on it's last week. At 82% funded it's sure to succeed with the typical end of funding surge. Get on board now if you want a great game at £20 (about US$33) before the pledges dry up.

If you're a Mac fan there's a stretch goal for a Mac version at £1.4M funding.
