I downloaded Oolite and played it today and it's very much like original Elite, probably even easier when it comes to docking to a space station and space battles.
I didn't really play much Elite on PC but I spent heaps of time playing it on my C=64. Unfortunately, playing Oolite reminded me why I spent so much time - it takes bloody ages to get to a space station after hyper jump into the system, most of the time just flying with other ships, no conflicts, nothing.
But that's the gameplay of the original Elite, not this excellent remake, so if you loved Elite, this is definitely a great game for you.
