Anyone else backing this game on Kickstart, or am I the only sad old git living in the past?

I have been thinking about it. Currently following Rock Paper SHotguns growing enthusiasm for the game.

If so there better not be manual flight to docking stations!

That's nothing. I wrote a program for the mainframe at Warwick Uni called MLITCO (Martin Lane's Inter-Stellar Trucking Company). When I saw Elite for the first time I did have a double take. OK mine was text based but the general idea was there. I did check on who wrote it and they were never at Warwick Uni so I can't claim millions in damages! Boo hoo.

Combat sim element appears to be coming along nicely, trading and everything else to follow apparently.
Considering buying an occulus rift too!
