I have it on good authority that the governments of the world cover these visits up to keep control of the masses. My source told me that a visiting dignitory from the Altair system painstakingly tracked down the leader of the Earth's most powerful country to establish a diplomatic outpost here. Whe...

I agree to an extent with you there, these issues will always exist. My problem is dwelling on them too much and making them part of the core too much. While all the treks had some appeal to me (except Enterprise) I enjoyed TNG the most because it was more of a complete package for my tastes. The ch...

I enjoyed the pilot and season 1 of BSG a lot, well everything more or less up to the occupation. I find it strange that they got away with such a low age limit in the Uk for the DVD's considering the sex and more so the torture, weird. It all got too religious for me and that was one of my gripes w...

An auto targetting add on for fuel scoops would be great from where I am sitting. Like Mort I have problems with my sight, in my case to the extent of being on the partailly blind register and because of my eye problem not even glasses help. This makes it extremely hard for me to see ships never min...

I hoped it would flop badly and then maybe we can get away from this nonsense of revisiting the past that Berman started with the Enterprise rubbish that just threw continuity out of the window completely. I thought DS9 was going to be dodgy as it moved away from a ship based format and to me I was ...

I can't reach the site (no connection to server). :( Seems my ISP is blocking www.theregister.co.uk (like they for instance do with youtube as well) :cry: :evil: . I have been getting a bit annoyed with my ISP too but for throtting speeds, it's been impossible to use sopcast to watch live footy and...

Well there's no wonder I used to get caught dumping radioactives in that system, how could a big eye like that not see me? :lol:

Great, I thought there probably was a way and tried shift + arrow but when that didn't work it seemed quicker to ask on here.

Many thanks.

Buy/sell goods question

Not sure if this should have been posted on the pc forums but anyway, I couldn't see anything in the wiki so I will ask here is there any way to quicken up loading and unloading cargo instead of doing it one at a time with the arrow keys?

I was just about to see if there was info in a sticky thread on how to edit (never done anything like that before) and then I noticed you have made a patched version available which I have promptly downloaded and installed.

Many thanks, well to all of you who replied actually. :D

This was not long after starting the game with the 1.71.2 test version and the Realistic shipyards and recommended extras (Assasins, Blitzspear clan, Commies, Hotrods 0.52c, Ionics-1.2.1, Oo-haul and Vector 1.00). It happened twice. The first time I went up to Reorte and traded my ship in for a ring...

Rank/kills question

Hi, It's been so long since I played Elite, not even sure what machine I played it on but it's nice to revisit a classic. If memory serves me right the original only had the named rank level info and not a score as well so I don't know how that works and if any changes have been made to that system ...
