I used to play this waaay too much when I was younger. They mentioned they were going to do a fourth Elite game and go down the MMORPG route back in 2000. As I rememember, they decided that internet technology wasn't yet mature enough.
During the noughties, they had a few false starts in the which were always disappointing. I kept my interest though as a guy at work had a friend who worked for Frontier. He assured me it was being worked on in the background....and I guess it must have been true!
I do hope they reach their kickstarter target - seem to be doing pretty well though.
