Also Elite II and III are available for free from the developers web sites. I used to love playing Elite II on the Amiga. Playing it again though and it seems a bit pap. I imagine I'd like Eve online, but don't want to pay monthly subcriptions for a game I'd never get much time to play.

Thanks, might download Elite 3. It must have been Elite 2 I bought when it came out (just remember it being called Frontier) and never got on with it. Might be worth another go.

Yeah Elite II is called Frontier and III is called First Encounter.

First Encounters: Elite III

Might need DosBox to run depending on your OS

DosBox

Browsing those sites, there are loads of old classic games I used to love playing that are now shareware.

If anyone needs help with modifying their save file, feel free to PM it over to me and I'll mod it for you to add a docking computer. I could also add other things if you like (cloaking device, mil lasers)

I'm thinking of creating another OXP, but need to check if I can do what I want, which is to add my own system, with a planet and docking station, with a stupidly high tech level so basically everything is present, but at affordable prices. I'd place this system rather close to Lave, so it's easy to reach.
