Definitely sold now - the big question is ..... when!?!?!?!
Agree with disembodied that we should be seeing the Cobra's top hull. To my recall of Elite, the top hull with interlocking triangles is much more iconic than the three piece lower hull.
Well, there is upgrade. http://www.dogma7.com/oolite/index.html
I've done all what I'd designed. Except logo. I don't like my own variant, but it's the most modern one.

I also wonder how large the star map background pictures are. They are now GIF, but I wonder at possibilities to reduce colour depth.
After all, you want this to load really quickly and they actually use very few colours. Can we assume everyone looking for OOlite has a browser that deals with PNG?
But maybe you already optimised for this.
It is doesn't matter what kind of format you use, PNG or GIF if your image has only 16 colors or almost monochrome. In this case GIF has the same quality, but it's size in kilobytes is 50-75% less. If you wanna see more colorful pictures or images with transparency, sure, you have to use PNG24.
Anyway the images of space routs and background will be small even so they will be more colorful in PNG. ( 20-30KB gif, 30-50KB png)
All modern browsers can display PNG. There is viagra for f***ing IE6.
Sorry to be a pain, but there is one thing I would do slightly differently: I think the positions for 01.about, 02.gallery, 03.download & 04.links should be made absolute, to stop those links from jiggling about when going from page to page...
They are absolute on my monitor (well the background stars are) but the text moves. I assumed the text moved because the page you are on has a bigger title - which is a good idea/nice graphical touch.

It's possible to freeze their.If project leaders accept my conception it will be able to fix or modify something.

Well if you want to add them in then your more than welcome. I would say that unfortunately pdf does give that one degree of separation from a standard web page.
But generally Cool! If an art-director thinks it's sweet. then we must have done something right! Nice work by the way I'm thinking of perusing your code. If you don't mind of course.

PDF is the "most human" format
The code is very simple. Multilayered html + jquery.
I have been waiting for someone's perusing
One tiny point - is there a reason that the gallery pictures have the common preposition 'an' for the text under the pictures? Is this just a consequence of them being 'dummies' for the real thing or is there an error in the text generation?
Also on the links page you have 'lost' a letter in one of the links - Expansion Pack List at Elite Wiki

"An Salvage Gang" is on oolite.org. I'm not guilty All texts are still "lorem ipsum"
