I wonder if there is "no such thing as bad publicity" Another twist in the ongoing Elite story. I wish I could write a saga like this!

Re: Now where have I seen that name before
I have a secret little crush on Rebecca :). One of the more disturbing facts of making romantic overtures to fictional characters is, that in effect you have fallen for various fatty diverse chunks of the authors living brain. I'm not sure his wife will approve you know. She may have dibs. Oddly en...

Re: I'm writing something really nasty.
I always saw my solution at the end of Finis as just one facet of a multiverse style Oolite. That Jim and Rebecca ended up in a universe where the multitude of sentient creatures apparently never existed was a function of them interferring with Raxxla and shutting it down in their universe.

A spot for the purists... Tianve System
Just spotted this by looking at the ED galaxy map.
The Tianve system (from chart one) is in the game! I don't know if that was a little nod to the fans, but I kind of hope it is.
Cheers,
Drew.

Re: What else did we play when Elite was king?
Spectrum owner here too. Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge were big favourites along with the Ultimate games such as KnightLore and Alien8. Space wise I recall Code name Mat, Dark Star and TimeGate, along with Starion. Never had a 16 bit machine, so games lapsed until X-Wing came along on the...

Re: Now where have I seen that name before
Spooky. :) If she is cross, angry, with short brown hair I suggest backing away quickly. I got contacted by 'a' Rebecca Weston about 3 years ago after she (a lady in Germany somewhere) found her name in my book. It was very strange seeing that in my inbox with the subject line "Now, about Statu...

Re: Copyright
