Yes, this is the old Atari-problem; the developers want to satisfy all; on the PC it was simply like this: "The game is such good that you need at least a ...MHz PC!"
Coming to a possible Atari-Elite-3:
I don't think this is necessary for STs asElite 3 is very close to Elite 2 - they're almost the same game except for vast improvements in graphics and new ships (and the newspapers). As graphical improvements are not possible on the ST (or perhaps very little), I can't see a sense for a ST-version.
A possible solution might be options like "3D detail" or "videos on/off" to make it run on STs.
I simply think we have enough great ST games which get the hell out of the hardware - why not move on to the Ataris we have nowadays? Most (85%+) Atari-users have an 68030 or better.
