Why no fireworks or party on becoming Elite?

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...

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.........

Love the idea.
