Even if you got stuck with a merchant Python, you'd shake it off soon enough while remaining vigilant for pirate arrivals throughout. Travelling speed is too slow, much slower than the 8-bit versions ever were. That may be what they say on their site, but I don't buy it and I don't think they've taken on board what is obviously a constant critical feedback. Skipping the corridor does mean you miss a lot of stuff if you do it for the whole journey however once you arrive you can just go forward for a bit to see if theres anything in the vacinity. Makes perfect title to while away some hours while bored at work. There is something similar online called Eve ya know I'd die a happy man knowing it happened during my life time Just to think, that's all Braben needs to do to make it 'online' nothing fancy, just Elite with Internet play. You know, if each ship was a different player it'd be immense. It's good though huh? I've not fired up WoW since I installed it The remake, while adding a few elements from Elite over the years, doesn't changed any of the original formula. Plays more like Archimedes Elite rather than the BBC version (the 2nd - Gold was it? - version at that, the original didn't let the player change ships IIRC). If it's just the differing engines then that's probably it. So its just a matter of waiting As the game goes on you get better ships and faster engines, things to cut down travel times.īut you miss all the interesting stuff doing that Back then it wasnt meant to be all that arcadey and space travel times were a big part of it. Good way to knock about 2 thirds off travel time.īare in mind that its a pretty accurate remake of the BBC Elite. Then simply look back at the planet and fly the rest of the way. Leave it there for a shortwhile to fly out of the corridor. When you arrive, point your ship at the planet, hit J then point your craft up until the green blob on the compass (the planet) drops right to the bottom. The ships prevent you from using your quick drive and theres a very easy way to prevent this happening. this is the main trading route of all ships etc. Whenever you arrive in a galaxy you do so in a sort of space corridor.
I went and checked (Speccy FTW) and it does so either your craft moves slower or stuff is altered to compensate for the great big expanse of space.
Only is it me or does it take a long time to get anywhere in his game? Say from local orbit to the safe zone of a station, seems to take forever.
