I've been away from forums for quite some time, so I apologize if this has been mentioned already.
I'm a huge fan of Starflight, and occassionaly skim through the major fan sites. Someone by the name of Stainless has embarked on the task of producing a Starflight remake, stradling that fine line between holding true to the original game while greatly improving the graphics and interface (though the latter does borrow too much from Star Trek, but I don't mind that much). I know that there have been many attempts at doing this already, only to have fallen off the face of the Earth at some point. I think that's going to change with this one. He has released several builds already, and while its still in the early Alpha stage, it is playable and does show a lot of promise. Some screenshots:
Direct Link to Starflight Alpha 2 build download: http://cid-51c26c5112311ab0.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/starflight_alpha_2.exe (though you may need a Live account to download).
Starflight Remake forum: http://icc.starflight3.org/index.php?board=26.0
This build was released sometime in August I believe, and supposedly a new build will be released shortly, so keep an eye out. If for whatever reason the download link won't work for you, I guess I can find someplace online to post it, or can send it through a messenger program.
