Elite, the Wikipedia Book

Wikipedia has just launched a new facility for creating books out of articles. You have to be a regular contributor (10 articles or more) to save the formatted book to Wikipedia.
I mention it because I tried it out with Elite articles but couldn't save it. I therefore put it in my Dropbox account for you to download if you want to!

"The Electron's limitations meant several game features were cut
including Thargoids and suns"
huh?
that's not right, i'm sure. far as i can recall on my Electron, it had Thargoids but only about 4 other types of ship, Cobra 3, Mamba, Viper and Sidewinder for def, not sure about the others.

The Python was in there as well.
As for Thargoids, I always assumed they were in the Electron version because they're so integral to the game. But having gone through the packaging which came with Electron Elite, I can find no mention of the Thargoids anywhere. Not in the manual, or the ship ID chart or the poster.
I can emulate the game with ElectrEm but I don't know how to force a mis-jump in that version to find 'em.
So at the moment, I would have to say the Thargoids
weren't in Electron Elite
