Unfortunately, this project has died.
Reason being… I updated my computer to windows 7, and it does not agree with my processor (Unity and Blender both load and perform very slowly). I may get back into it, but we’ll see how things turn out.
Whomever passes by this thread with the ability to lock or delete it, please do so.

Since Elite was one of my favorite games, space trading will always have a place in my heart 
Looks great - I like the idea of making something within our universe, too, so that I don’t have to try to pronounce funny made-up planet names!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the comment. 
I’ve added a main menu as well as polished almost every script (Made them more efficient)… also, a “Max distance”, so that when you are too far away from the Sun, it will not let you go further. Lastly, I’ve made it so that when you get too CLOSE to the sun, you will begin losing health. When your health hits 0, it sends you the main menu and deletes your save data.
I’m sure there were a few other things that I did, but they must not have been important enough to remember.
“Delete Save” will reset everything in the game.
The camera in the menu orbits and points towards the Sun.

Wow this looks very cool. I would like to see a webplayer demo! asap
A webplayer is currently not possible, as the position of each object is saved to the computer.
You should use playerprefs instead.
I have tried PlayerPrefs, but that leaves the problem with resetting the game. If I save the files, I can delete them via a function and allow my save script to see that the files are not there… which prevents it from parsing the files to position the player’s X Y and Z coords, leaving the player at the default location.
Getting too close to the sun will cause you to lose health, if the position is saved with PlayerPrefs, you will never be able to play the game again without re-downloading it, because your position will always be close to the sun.
But if I make ‘death’ delete the saved position files, the default locations will be used… resetting the game.
Since people have shown interest in playing this, I will try my best to get this to work with PlayerPrefs. I cannot guarantee that I can do this though.
Cool.
For now I will remove saving so that I can post a web player…
Edit:: Webplayer is awaiting approval. I will update the main post with the link if it is accepted.
