While "Dangerous" has been used in numerous game names, I think the problem for customer confusion is great since both our games are in the exact same genre, and the names differ in only "Elite". I sent him a polite email early this week telling him about the potential conflict in naming and asked if we could come to a mutually amicable agreement, but no response has been forthcoming.
Can't see them getting an answer out of Frontier.Good new is they are thinking about a Kickstart themselves, hope they don't go crazy with the amount they are looking for, better to go for a small amount then have stretch goals.

Looks like they never go an answer from Frontier about the name. But they have put a WIP pic up about the the in game ship boarding, the original was very dark so I run it through Infanview to lighting it.

New update for Dangerous to 1.5.2. [url]http://whoisdangerous.com/updates.html[/url]

Swiftest, when you drop by this topic, I still have a question whether there is a cockipt view to be added anytime soon? Something really very simple, like Freelancer style cockpit view would be more than enough for me. I pretty much started on WC, so there was no way for me to play Freelancer other than with the cockpit view. I very much prefer those space sims that offer this view compared to 3rd person view only. Otherwise your game looks better and better and I am really waiting just for this add-on.

Look like they are gearing up for a Kickstarter [url]http://whoisdangerous.com/topic/301/1/General/Kickstarter-campaign-rewards.html&replies=8[/url] any suggestion then head over to the forum. I'm starting the process to do a video that can be used as a new trailer and also for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign. Since I have some experience with indie filmmaking, I'd like to do a live action video with real actors in front of a green screen. You'll get to see the beginning of the game including the story elements of the tutorial in a live action video! The idea is to raise funds from Kickstarter to improve the game at a faster rate:- add ship boarding in a first- or third-person shooter format- also allow walking in stations and planets to buy goods and do quests- overhaul the 3D ship models with unique models- make the world even more sandboxy by allowing corporations to grow or shrink depending on how well they do in the game world- allow any corporation including the player's to build new stations that have defensive capabilities. The player would be able to take over stations by sieging them (will take massive firepower)- add in massive multiplayer support for all platformsPlan: ask for $50,000 to add the ship boarding feature. And if the campaign beats that number, at various tiers, we'll add in more features, like:$100,000 even more dynamic universe, more quests$150,000 multiplayer$250,000 massive multiplayeretc..What do you guys think of this plan? What elements would make you interested in contributing to the Kickstarter campaign? What are some of the rewards that you'd like to see?All your feedback is greatly appreciated!Linh 

Look what showed up in Steams new Greenlite list [url]http://steamcommunity.com//sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=257742716[/url] :biggrin: Bit of a surprise as I thought they have stopped development of the game, looks like they have made some changes to it.
