- I seem to recall that the radar display design used in Elite was
- patented or some such. I've seen 4D's add and the radar display looks
- very much like that on Elite. So, this might be what Braben has sued
- 4D for.

- The game looked quite good in the add (but which game doesn't ;-), so
- it would be a shame if it didn't come out. I doubt that 4D will simply
- drop th game, at the worst they will pay a license fee to Braben.
