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...
