Elite : Reclamation (Novel)

If not then obviously I'm addled and require sectioning...

Which does beg the question - which of the conflicting back stories to Frontier staff consider to be "canon"?

Actually, thinking about it, the Elite manual + Dark Wheel fit quite well into the Frontier/FFE canon (which is itself consistent between game and manual), with a few renamings and a bit of poetic license on the "galactic" hyperdrive being all that's needed. So probably that one. It's just that pesky Elite game which contradicts it.

Folks,

As promised. The trailer for 'Elite:Reclamation'.

Nice trailer!

"They stole her future … they assassinated her family … now she wants vengeance …"

Now,  what does that remind me of?

The "… then they murdered her …" part is new and intriguing, though.

[Cody]

Very cool!

It will bear as much resemblance to Status Quo as a finely prepared pheasant does to a pot noodle. Trust me, I know.

Cheers,

Drew.

Only in the Elite universe could "THEN THEY MURDERED HER" be followed with "NOW SHE WANTS REVENGE".

[Wolfwood]

Hehe, sounds intriguing, indeed!

This particularly 'lady' is going to be a rather nasty piece of work indeed...

I also found Michael Brooke's blog about the sequel, no detail yet. It's here > http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/2012/ ... novel.html

He's a 'horror' man primarily. I'm not a fan of that genre in the slightest, so I think we're guaranteed very different takes on the Elite universe. Interestingly he notes that he'll be writing it in conjunction with David Braben - I generally avoid twin-author books, look what happened to the Rama series after Gentry Lee got hold of it...

Cheers,

Drew.

As a writer friend who did a screenwriters course once told me - "Just because you go to the movies, what makes you think you can write one" - could equally be interpreted as "Just because you can write a computer game what makes you think you can write about the Universe you've created."

I was going to pledge for the "Official" Sequel of the Dark Wheel - now I know that I'm definitely not going to!

Oh... and he can't spell 'conjunction'...

Wow! You southerners sure are rich. We were only supplied with stones for that proverb.

Pledged .

Thanks fella!

Quick update. I remixed the trailer with the new combat footage to give it a little extra zing...

Only one tip for the video's. Don't boost the music. As I understand Youtube compresses the music also. So then you get over compression. And the music sounds distorted.
