How do we celebrate? Someone want to do a ship that looks like a big cake with 25 candles?

Make candle flames frangible so you could come along and "blow them out"...

Does anyone know when *exactly* Elite was published?
I thought I was playing it in 1983 not 1984!! ??
Cheers,
Drew.

Methinks we should celebrate anyway. With food, perhaps? I like food, especially chocolate.

Well, really fancy food, like champagne, cheese, crackers, chocolate - wouldn't that be luxuries?

Sadly, your Forum Formatting Damping Field is off-line, thus the Trumble was compessed against the wall, making an unsightly mess. I prefer to show Trumbles like this one: (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o) (0.o)wackyman465 wrote:I am a trumble!

Well, my Imperial Courier accelerates fairly fast - poor Murphy was squashed against the wall by g-forces...
