Avon,
again thanks for the kind words. I will keep it simple, in fact to get the real basics just right (i.e. the space environment, explosions etc) I'm going to do a 3D Asteroids game first. The beauty of this is I can concentrate on the very core of the the ELITE game and iron out all the problems of getting the flying right without too much distraction. Then that 'engine' will be used in the ELITE game.
