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

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]

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. [;)]

Hi all,

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!

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

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