Hi all,
I just finished reading this interview with David Braben, literally only a few days old. I thought you might all be interested, especially page 4 toward the end.
This link takes you straight to page 4. Enjoy.
I would not read too much into it as DB has been saying pretty much the same thing for a number of years now.
yeah until he takes it beta and active development we can ignore brabens procrastinations
I would have to agree, DB statements could be seen as still in the planning phase and no code has been written. If code has been written and they were any where near a alpha state you would think they would have said something to give the community something to chew on and to have hopes for the future. I know if I was going to make a Elite 4 it would have to be a multi-platform release (including tablets) to hopefully re-coop development and advertising costs.
