Leo, et. al., I never played 'Elite'. Is it a freeware online version of a typical space exploitation game (e.g., Master of Orion)?

I loved Master of Orion II

Afternoon.... I used to post on the old WitP thread years ago under an old login, was wondering if 'T' is still around, or maybe on a short ban again? [:D]

LOL, he has been on a "Matrix imposed vacation", but it ended a while ago. He's now on a "self imposed vacation" from the forum. [:D]

Thanks Mike, see some things don't change, but sort of miss his grumpy post though. [;)]

There is no grumpiness here only candy, flowers and fairies.

Welcome to the democracy. The way it works is, we all get a vague illusion of having the power to choose our own fates, once every 4 years we get a reality check that our opinions really dont matter and then we spend the next 4 years complaining about it. [:D]

It my case being a skeptic , I vote for the person I think is lying the least. But then also being a pessimist, start complaining about it almost immediately. [;)]

But does the paranoiac in your realize that you may never truly know which one of them is actually lying the least? [;)]

What have you done to me!!! [:D]

Now, after all those years I discover free Elite with myriad (500+) add-ons! [:)]

Oh my time... [8D]

What is it? [X(]

In essence the "Oolite" is freeware (under GNU General Public License version 2) version of good old "Elite" with community development and 500+ Add-Ons that members created (able to add to "vanilla" flavor "Oolite" that is essentially original "Elite)! [:)]

It is 25+ MB program for MS Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

With Add-Ons (several GB in size) you get advanced 3D models and beautiful textures for planets, nebulas, space ships and space stations!

I never played MOO either but I had some friends that were very hardcore.

I wish theyd revamp the old Birth of the Federation game. [&o]

Yes, Mike. Apparently your plumage leaves something to be desired.

Yea, but a well plumed mouse. Well endowed with plumage, you might say.

Must be 'powder down' feathers. Short, stubby little things that are more fluff than structure.

"Elite" was the one and only - the very first (and from 1984)! [:)]

It is flight sim combined with exploration, adventure and trade - nothing can compare to "Elite"... [;)]

Rather hard IIRC... the manual flying and docking to space station is very hard thing...

But commitment is rewarded - the flying skills increase in time and it was great fun to do all things!
