Monty Burns	Posted - 2004.10.20 15:45:00 - [31] Originally by: Einheriar Ulrich Originally by: darth solo Elite was bloody amazing... BUT, how hard was it to dock:). d solo hehe always get an autodocker in that game, otherwise your looking at countless hours of dizzy disbelief Ummm pretty damn easy actually (there is always one eh!) Fly up to the mouth coming from the side, looking out of your side view. Pull up when "roughly" level with the entrance hole spinning so close it takes up all your side view. Switch to main view. Turn to face the spinning mouth. Hit space and ram on full power for a couple of seconds - had to be timed ok'ish to avoid shield damage. Easy peasy, no spinning, no lining up from miles away. Job done. C64, BBC B, Amiga and PC versions. Worked on all. But then some of the later versions had autopilot to dock which insta docked you in-range, cheating imo Be lucky! Darwin 4tw

Burga Galti	Posted - 2004.10.20 15:46:00 - [33] The ST version was classic, though it wouldn't run on mine for some reason Thank god for emulators! (perfectly legal if you own the original as I do) As to where can you get it? Linky Tales from the EVE Cluster

Tharrn	Posted - 2004.10.20 15:53:00 - [37] For some...errr... strange reason... I didn't have a manual for Elite. A friend and I spent the first days trying to land on plantes or crashing into the backside of the stations :P I loved the C64 version where you never knew if an approaching ship was a friend or an enemy until the ugly Krayt unfolded (from one pixel) and started to shoot you. The Amiga and PC versions with that identify option were much less cool IMHO. Never made Elite status. Deadly was as far as we got I think (did that 'Right on, Commander!' message we got at some point mean we were almost Elite?).

Bhaal	Posted - 2004.10.20 16:06:00 - [39] My computer here at work plays it way too fast, I'll play around with it more at home, get the Amiga version up and running maybe... Can you only use the keyboard to fly? ------------------------------------------------ "for piece sakes!"

Iratus Caelestis	Posted - 2004.10.20 16:06:00 - [41] On Frontier Elite I did actually get Elite, Then again my save game is about 10 years old and I still occasionally play it. It did take many years of on and off playing before it finally changed to elite. My imperial rank is Duke, I don't even want to contemplate how many missions you have to do to get Prince seeing as I do about 10-15 missions at a time and still don't have it. Worst thing about Elite, Misjumps with no fuel after forgetting to save. Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.

Pottsey	Posted - 2004.10.20 16:29:00 - [43] I was lucky and have a rare copy of the CD version of Elite 3 over 500meg. Most people only have the disk version which was 5 to 10 meg. I still play that today and those that think Eve is a big galaxy need to take a look at Elite 3. It makes Eve look small. It even had planet landings with 3D planets and one of the best missions was flying down to a military base on a planet and misplacing a nuke missile. I also liked parking in a city next to a clock tower and watching the hands move correctly with the in game time. Little things like that made it a brilliant universe. _________________________________________________ Gallente defensive innovation comes from unexpected source.

Elita	Posted - 2004.10.20 19:31:00 - [47] I remember those days, with my C64 (and yes, I remember M.U.L.E. too!). Can't remember how high my standing got (at least Deadly, but not Elite). When I started looking into MMORPGs this summer, I found EVE, and I saw Elite. In fact, that's the inspiration for my character's name: Elita Eterna. -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke

Kyt Kraiten	Posted - 2004.10.20 20:40:00 - [49] i've played all 3 of the elite games, but frontier:elite was HIGHLY problematic for me. as some of you might remember, there were something like 3 different starting points in the game. my (legal) copy was corrupted however so i only had one of these starting points. guess which one? that's the right, the one in sol...WITH THE INTERPLANETARY SHUTTLE. i spent months going from mars to earth with miniscule loads making 100 credits a trip trying to get a ship with a hyperdrive. i don't think i ever did, by the time i would've gotten it, first encounters came out and i played that instead. basically doing the barnard->sol->van maanen's star traderoute (barnard's star was heavy industry, where i picked up machinery or robots, which i then sold for a hefty profit in sol, then picking up luxury goods in sol and selling them on the black market in van maanen's star after getting a permit. crazy religious cult there, you could sell robots and farm equipment and such too there on the blackmarket, all illegal) until i was filthy rich, then bought a cobra mk3, and try to get into the news, becoming the most wanted person in the universe, and having the empire and federation make up coverstories about how they got you in a heroic takedown.

Gun Kata	Posted - 2004.10.21 10:33:00 - [51] Can anyone remember the Spectrum version - to install it you had that red security device that you had to hold up to the TV screen (it had some sort of crappy plastic flat prism thingy in the middle) so you could read the access code. "I have seen everything now." "Yeah? Have you seen a man eat his own head?"

You should check out DOSBox for running old games on XP. Frontier: First Encounters also has a good third party tool which makes it run on XP and also fixes a few bugs, and works fine with the shareware version, but I'm not sure if I can mention it here since things that have to do with reverse engineering of software often are considered illegal.
