''Frontier: Elite II'' and ''Frontier: First Encounters'' are later PC sequels by David Braben alone (the original authors having had a serious falling-out), with textured 3D graphics. Sadly, while ''First Encounters'' has good Newtonian physics (it was even possible to place a ship into proper orbit), it was obviously in an unfinished state. Various indie developers have hacked and modified the code to make it playable on modern systems, even going so far as to port the graphics engine to UsefulNotes/OpenGL. One ambitious project, [=FFE-D3D=], aims to rewrite the entire game with greatly improved graphics.
