Oolite Bulletins

"Eliteness" is an anagram of "Selenites". Particularly apposite on the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11.

Lovely! Thank you, Ahruman. 2 to the fighting 8th power.

I'd like to ask you to explain that, but I doubt I'd understand. As I say, it was a long time ago!

I think you're right about the original - there were two versions.

As for Elite Plus, do you recall a code number displayed on your Elite shield as you were awarded it? It was supposed to have some significance, but I can't recall what.

It was in my Elite for BBC - no idea what version. The one with just outlines. It's a long time ago. I can't even remember how it was done, except it was some sort of keyboard switch.

Can't help with that one, Problem, I'm on Windows, but welcome to the Oolite boards.

A Google Image Seeker - good name for a missile, for use against billboards.

Zevans I guess I’ll have to load it up, find an old save game and go galaxy hopping, just to check. Pagroove Nice classification, but if you get too astronomical, only spectral types: G, K and M are likely to have planets. F is marginal. Let’s just have varied colours: there are many shades of yello...

Ca va, Poovga.
