Captain Hesperus, yes, obviously, virtual credit.
pmhunt, I think the option of multiplayer in 3D flight/fight phase is still too early to envisage, if I follow a bit what I read in this thread.

Arhuman, I agree with you 100%. Do you think it is possible to include a chat client as a module of Elite which could be activated when landing at a space station. The chat will open a windows showing the people present at this station and will allow trading, file sharing limited to oxp (exchanging ...

I see definetly very serious issues to get a real MMORPG with Elite. However, there are some possibilities which could be investigated to make Elite more interactive.

Thanks a lot all. 1. I might get interesting textures, I am creating virtual landscape and virtual world with 3D software (Terragen for example), so I might be able to generate some nice planets. 2.

This being say, my present laptop is lagging a bit with only 512 Mb of memory and something like 60 oxp installed. I ...
