Hi, I`ve been a fan of Elite since the ZX Spectrum version. I loved Frontier and First Encounters and have been watching the net for Elite IV ever since the first rumor. What with the plethora of eliteish games out there e.g. Freelancer, X2 & X3, Eve Online, etc, etc. What can we expect from Elite : Dangerous that will make this game stand out from the more successful eliteish games like Eve, and Freelancer. I ask this question because these games still have a large following through mods etc. In my opinion the best part of elite would be to fly through the atmosphere of a planet and land there, plus walk out of the craft to explore the land.

There is a game in production called Pioneer here : http://pioneerspacesim.net/
This game already has landable planets and is quite good looking. Would you be looking to use similar technology, would it be better?
Thanks, lifelong fan. Clayton Pring......
