- YES! Elite GS would be a dream come true! I remember how excited I
- was when I bought the game, and read through the cheezy "background"
- novella _DarkWheel_, and play the game. I think we would basically
- need something like WingCommander GS, if we were to soup up Elite.
-
- But Elite becomes pointless after awhile, after you get all the extra-
- equipments for your Cobra Mark IV, the game becomes boring...
