Not quite, KW. A good deal of the original Elite fluff did talk about it taking some time to get between systems, although obviously not as much time as it might by going by standard means. That was B&Bs excuse for the rings, because they reasoned that instantaneous travel across uhundreds of bi...

I've always considered the 'material' travelled through during Witchspace transit to be something that can't be comprehended by the human (or at least, sentient) eye (or at least, sensory organ). In my mind, ships with a small crew requirement like the Cobras most often use 'Hypersleep', when the sh...

Also for 3): I find that 'accidentally' ramming them to death causes no loss of your 'Clean' status. Otherwise, let them have their fun.

Hi, Commander Obsidian ! Do you find travelling the distances between stations can become tedious, uninteresting or plain dull? Do feel the pangs of Isolation Sickness more and more frequently? Do you yearn for someone or something to help alleviate the clawing needles in your mind that sometimes ur...

Galactic Navy Stations will pay 80+ credits for Thargoid fighter craft. ...which never made sense to me. Surely they of anyone already have an adequate supply of this particular doohickey? Never hurts to have more recent models. That way they can monitor any improvements to the original versions an...
