Can't wait for this - 20yrs on the back burner and it's finally happening :)

OMG... I logged 1000+ hours with the Amiga 500 on this back in the day.

If there’s a game that comes close to this depth, I’ve yet to see it.

I played a bit of elite Back In The Day (speccy, got to Deadly). I always assumed that Eve online was pretty much exactly what the blogger described. Spaceships, freedom, trading.

Is there something I'm missing?

Actually Eve is pretty close, you're right. It owes a huge debt to the original Elite. I've never actually played Eve but I believe the combat is based much more on tactics and strategy rather than skill and reaction time. Nothing wrong with that but it's quite a different experience.
