On the iphone I think Space Miner is a great game, probably the only one I will bother to play twice.. I have only tried the light version of Galaxy on Fire, but that seemed much better than warpgate. Just so you have a reference to what I like game wise.. Frontier elite 2 was great back in the days!

The fighting system is very poor, no control at all. NO tactics involved in the fighting! Enemies can attack you when you come out of a warpgate or planet and kill half your health before you can engage them back. A system where you can control who to engage and withdraw without fleeing the battle completely would make it more interesting. Also on the main map enemies can attack you without you being able to fight back unless you engage. The story is quite poor and not very engaging. I like that you can trade goods to make money for better weapons and ships, but find it disappointing that you have to pay real money (in-app store) for the best ship.. you pay for the game, then if you want to get to top level you have to pay more again... I think it is fine to offer credits for purchase if you want to progress faster, but I don't agree to making the best ship only available for more money, I paid for the game and feel cheated when I have to pay more for the best options! For something that looked really promising it is very disappointing. No real tactics, no action and no compelling story does not make a great game! It has potential but really feels like an early beta without the bugs. I bought the game and it is a bit disappointing.

They might even get the rights to use the audio, which would be fantastic. It's probably the most ambitiously written sci-fi show I've ever seen and the iPhone is now capable of outdoing the CGI seen in the original show.

From the other hand it would be lovely to see Frontier 2 on iPhone. Braben, please, Elite 4 is important but give us some hope please :) Well, if it will have some depth of the original Frontier - I\'m sold.
