For those of you who've become Elite - Missing Mission Triggers
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 10:44 am
I'm talking about the original game of Elite, the classic version and if need be I mean the version that was on C64, since that was the one I played. Using a floppy disk.....
I know I have played that game to death, but have only ever reached the space combat score of Deadly and would like to know why. I've amassed a tonne of credits along the way, enough to possibly repurchase my ship several times over. if that was actually possible in the original game. Since, I have read a lot about other commanders becoming Elite (in the original game only.) and the doing the missions as well. I begun to wonder or not if doing the missions was vital in becoming Elite or do they just help a lot.
I think it was the completion of first mission, the hunting of the Constrictor ( Or second mission if you count the Trumbles incident.) that made me Deadly or was it Dangerous. I 'm not sure I remember, perhaps it was doing the mission that made me Dangerous, but completion of it that made me Deadly. It was such long time ago now, and I have lost track of my old floppy disk I used to save the game on. In fact, I lost track of the C64 as well.
Now, I know it was something that triggers that mission to be given to me. Perhaps it was purchasing a particular piece of equipment for the ship or a certain number of kills reached. I've now purchased every piece of equipment. At least the stuff that wasn't rare if there was any thing rare to buy for your ship.
That was the only mission I ever triggered, but what are triggers for the other missions I heard about. So, I travelled all over the first galaxy, trying to trigger them, but to no avail. Should I have left the galaxy for the second galaxy. I think there are nine of them and perhaps one mission per galaxy Yet, I could wrong there?
So, my big question here is what are the actual triggers for the other mission, the rest of them and are they a integral part of becoming Elite or is my game actually broken with me having no way of reaching that accolade....?
