I grew up spending many hours in my early teens playing the original Elite game on the BBC B micro. Elite Dangerous is the 4th game in the series and will feature multi player space combat, trading, pirating of epic proportions.

I have to admit to this being the most eagerly awaited game for me ever. I backed the game on kickstarter to the point of being a beta tester (for even more money I could have got into the alpha team).
Anyway. The game supports multi player and groups (clans).
Are any other members into Elite and would you like to start a TSD (TrainSimDev.com) clan with myself. We can fly round the universe selling our wares, being bounty hunters or even pirates!
Hope there are a few other Elite fans on the forum.
The game has not been released yet but will be in approximately 3 months I believe.
