I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
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.Selezen wrote:Which does beg the question - which of the conflicting back stories to Frontier staff consider to be "canon"?

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
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.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

It will bear as much resemblance to Status Quo as a finely prepared pheasant does to a pot noodle. Trust me, I know. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Only in the Elite universe could "THEN THEY MURDERED HER" be followed with "NOW SHE WANTS REVENGE". ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
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.

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
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."drew wrote:This particularly 'lady' is going to be a rather nasty piece of work indeed...

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

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. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
