Why no fireworks or party on becoming Elite?

Post by SandJ »

I've just docked and my rating is now "*** ELITE *** (6401)". I did not notice any special message when doing any recent kills, not even a "Right On Commander!"

Shouldn't something happen?

At the very least, when next docking at a space station there is a message waiting that says "[size=110][color=#0000FF]Well done. You have achieved the first step. [i]The Dark Wheel[/i].[/color][/size]" or some such?

It's a bit, well, anticlimactic.

Right on, Commander... twenty-five times, and counting!

Right on, Commander! Congratulations!

As for the rest, they sound like great ideas for a mission of epic scale...
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

Excellent! I may just have to re-load the previous pre-Elite saved game just so I can try that out... :P

Hey, I've just bought 14 tonnes of Computers for 0 Credits per tonne at a Wasp Nest.

If this is what Elite is like, I'm happy enough now!

I think someone ought to make a Dark Wheel OXP, for those who've made it to Elite. Perhaps a really difficult mission?

A series of difficult missions, with lots of hidden planets and systems in interstellar space. The overall plot-line is the players gradual induction to the Dark Wheel, and the whole thing would have to culminate with something to do with Raxxla.........
