Anyone else slightly excited by this?

I loved the original Elite but didn't really get to grips with the sequels, however, this looks like it could be time to dip my toes in the pirate waters again...

Read it with just a little too much glee too. Tho' I'm really not into gaming in any big way thesedays it sure bought back a nostalgic moment or three

That would be another Kickstarter project I've backed (I take it you've heard of Oolite BTW). If you like that project you might also want to take a look at:

• Star Citizen (from the guy who did the Wing Commander, Privateer and Freelancer games) - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen | http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/
• Maia - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia

OMG OMG, it looks awsum, I wonder if you can speed up time. Can't wait to try it

In the video David mentions that speeding up time won't be a feature but rather they are going for local hyperspace jumps to keep online gamers time in sync.
