Aha! First a fleeting mention in the Battlebarg Webcomic, now on network radio. Tomorrow, THE WORLD!!!!

Ahem, oh yeah, welcome to the community. Glad you enjoy the game.

Now that is interesting, I listen to Iain Lee most days on my way home, so it must have been in the earlier part. Do you know which day it was, I'll try and download the podcast.

I think it would have been wednesday or thursday last week, first he mentioned elite being the best game ever then slipped in that there was a pc version called oolite available. That was all he said easily missed, needless to say as an old elite and frontier maniac i grabbed my pen and paper and googled away when I got home. I haven't seen my wife or child since but I'm sure they're doing, the good news is Im average with an OK ship and some really cool kit.

Sorry? Wife? Child? These words mean something to me, just it won't come to me right now.......
Good Work on getting Average, though.

There was in interview with David Braben on last week's Digital Planet, on the BBC World Service. If you can't get the podcast, PM me with your email address and I'll dropload it to you.

Might not have much you don't already know, though it might make a good trip down memory lane.
