Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

Forget not the Raspberry Pi (I'm sure DB hasn't ;)). 1M+ units sold so far and all with Debian as the 'official' OS. Prime territory for a killer app.

The readout could itself be switched between KPH (or MPH in imperial),Km/Litre instant (MPG instant), Km/L Average (MPG average) and Range Km (Range Miles). As for the numbers...

Re: Do you love old racing cars?

Re: Elite: Dangerous - Design Decision Forum

How do other MPG's handle in game death (I've never played one so in some ways I'm new to this)? What happens if they lose the network at a critical time?
