Eder has built two new authentic cockpits for Standoff Episode 4. The Arrow and Hornet now have their own designs and will no longer borrow art from other ships. These will debut in the game's next chapter and be retroactive to all the prior episodes. There's several lesser-used craft still left in the game that lack their own dash, and it's possible that these will get a unique makeover for Episodes 4 and 5 as well.
Bob has found an oddity for general space sim fans - an 'Elite' clone made in Blitz3D, an amateur game development setup. It's called "Deepspace: Life on the Frontier", and should probably play similar to our favorite Privateer game... although that isn't the objective:
Anyway Deepspace was first started in May 2006 as an Elite ‘style’ space/trading game. But shortly after I noticed that Elite itself was or seemed to be disappearing from the gaming culture. I thought what better way to keep the legend alive than to do my own homage to this great game. Whether I finish it or not I’ll enjoy every minute of it. :)
