Since Star Citizen was discussed here, I thought it worthy to post news of even a bigger deal: David Braben finally trying to kickstart Elite 4 almost after 20 years since the last installment in the series.
Elite: Dangerous is the name and you can find the Kickstarter page here:

Personally, Elite was THE thing for me in the 1980's and even though I was playing Civ in the early 90's, I also played a lot of Elite and its sequels (Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier First Encounters). It was the ultimate space sim / space trading / space exploration / space piracy series of the time.
