Kelpie’s Elite Page
08 January 12
With our recent self-appointment as Elite World custodians we’re pleased to announce that the technical infrastructure of Kelpie’s homeworld; a base for all Elite commanders and the ‘Elite Ring’, is now managed by Dream-Ware.
R3 Corporation
23 December 11
Ask any Elite commander and they’ll tell you that the universe was better in the “good ol’ days”. With many organisations falling by the wayside, we here at Dream-Ware are fearing those commanders could well be right. Another to join these illustrious ranks is the R3 Corporation, who it seems vanished some time ago.
There’s not a lot left of the old R3 but we’ve salvaged what we could and have archived them at R3.dream-ware.co.uk Attempts to contact the owners have been unsuccessful, but if you happen to stumble upon them we’d appreciate it if you could put them in touch so the future of the corporation can be secured.
Sirocco Station
19 December 11
We here at Dream-Ware were shocked when it was discovered that Sirocco Station had been abandoned back in ‘02. We couldn’t let this great historical site be lost forever so have decided to resurect it here. Attempts to contact Commander Rollo (Dan Lind) have so far been unsuccessul, but if you are him, or know him, we think it would be great if you could get in touch so we can discuss the future of the station.
Frontier: Elite II MP3’s Added
09 November 09
James M. created MP3 music from the Commodore Amiga version of FE2 and has kindly allowed these to be hosted in our Frontier Music section.

Timeline for Stardreamer and Dream-Ware
25 March 05
Have you ever wondered when the Stardreamer systems were first implemented? Or when the Dream-Ware Group first became involved in this whole DREAMS business? After some intensive research (a big thanks goes out to Mufossa for his Expanded Timeline) we have been able to put together our own Timeline that shows the development of the Stardreamer system and how Dream-Ware fits in with this.
Alive and well!
30 January 05
After several weeks the site is finally active again. We have also moved to a new host DataFlame.
Here at Dream-Ware we are currently involved in some very sensitive work that could potentially effect the whole Galaxy (or not..) this will mean there are not likey going to be any major updates to the site for the near future. Don’t despair though, we do have plans for new material and as time allows this will be implemented and available for you pleasure.
FFE Journals Added
19 June 04
Here at the Dream-Ware Group we have now made it possible to navigate and search all articles from the FFE ‘Ship Library Archives’. The interface has been designed to emulate the in-game view as close as possible. To this affect we strongly recommend you download and install the Frontier Font v2.0. This section is a WIP and thus far from complete.
The articles can be viewed by Article title, Journal, Author or a mix each. A basic search has been implemented though this isn’t too robust at present.
Once complete you will be able to view the articles in several ways along with a ‘game’ order (month/year) and the search engine should be much more advanced.
Added W3C Validator links
07 March 04
As the Dream-Ware site has been designed to comply with the W3C regulations I have now added their logos and links to the foot of every page. You can get more info by visiting the validation page.
Still using IE? Well you wouldn’t be making a bad choice by moving over to the Mozilla browser. As I prefer using Mozilla Firefox I’ve included a link at the foot of all my pages.
Design Layout Fixes/Updates
09 January 04
Almost all of the layout glitches in IE 5.01 & 5.5 have now been fixed. Plus there have been some slight changes to the ‘Game Music’ navigation.
Brand New Site Design
05 January 04
The site redesign is now complete including a brand new banner. The site is now XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant and has been tested in Windows versions of Mozilla 1.5/Firebird 0.7, Opera 7.23, Netscape 6.2/7.1 and IE 5.01/5.5/6.
IE 5.01 & 5.5 do have some minor problems while displaying site. These are just minor glitches with the layout and should not interfere with accessing any of the content. As always it is strongly recommended you upgrade your browser, preferably to using either Mozilla or Opera.
