This games concepts had/has the potential to be the roots of a game that would become the best game ever. I get withdrawal if i dont play this game for a long time. played since 95! Yarr!! >B)~
I think Elite IV should by now be awarded the all time vaporware award, instead of Duke Nukem Forever. Was first announced in 1998, so 12 years and no show.

Trying to track enemies manually with a meagre 1MW Pulse Laser... how very noobish, something I tried in the beginning as well. Just mark them with your nav and autopilot them to make the ship follow them. ... some consider that cheating, but it's forgivable sometimes, especially if you only have 1mw-pulse.
@MetallSwede The autopilot tactic only works in Frontier, not First Encounters, it was a cheap exploit that they nerfed in the sequel. The weapon being used is a 5mw pulse laser.
really? i could've sworn that tactic worked in FFE as well. :S oh well. i don't really remember. Maybe i only stocked up on missiles ^^ But tracking the enemy with a pulse laser, no matter the strength, was still a drag.
Never worked in First Encounters. There was no real gameplay enhancements made for FFE, except bug-corrections like the pause-target-autopilot exploit, which was the only thing that made the game playable. Somehow the enemies always had more delta-V than you, and you could never match their delta-V. In First Encounters using a lesser stardreamer setting usually ended up in less encounters with these random enemies that always match your speed, exept when they just tail you.
The only info I have is the download url that was posted on alt.fan.elite - can't post it here so you'll have to search that newsgroup if you want to try it.
Elite 4 will hopefully happen. I just read a recent interview with him and he is saying it will come out in this generation of machines but wont announce yet.. I can't wait - I missed out on First Encounters - this looks great. Elite 4 will be a major pants tent though.
WOW looks awesome! I played this game for a very lomg time and theres nothing better than that game today. Is there a download link for this Version of the game or is it just a fake?

I've googled but can't find much apart from the OGL version.

There hasn't been ANY news from DreamZzz in quite a while.
MAYBE they'll get back to it around the same time Battlecruiser becomes good and Braben puts Elite 4 together.

@andy7666 It's been in vapor phase of development for years. It's almost up there with Duke Nukem Forever. Sorry.

@neglesaks Well, I suppose that there's still a chance it'll come out then :P
I just hope that if it does it's better than DNF.
