I am an avid (on and off) player of elite. and am wondering if there is a later version that 1.0? I have 1.0 (a version with the HACK in it) Also I am wondering if anyone else out there has noticed the limitations in Amiga Elite? Such as limits on the types of ships that can be pirates... A bit depressing to go from amstrad and bbc elite where anything can and usually does attack you to amiga elite where you are told who the badies are and after a while know what the will most likely be flying!!! Also the pack formation of attacking pirates is predictable... I don't remember it being so on the amstrad or the bbc (but I suppose they are inferior machines...) I would be delighted if I could get my hands on a later version, 1.0 seems pretty incomplete... (compared!)

It was my favorite on my old Apple II+, and I used to play it regularly on my Amiga. Haven't of late due to a negative amount a time that I can use as 'free' time. Please, if you here of any info about it (including where I can mail a hint letter for an amiga version) let me know. Many thanks.... Rob

I read an article about 2 years ago that he was thinking about making a followup to Elite. IF he did that he had plans on adding everything we missed in Elite... By the way does anyone know if there is only 5 special missions in Elite?????

Maybe if a sequel came out, it would be a wide-spread release, and I could buy a copy of that one. As far as I know, Elite is no longer in production for the Amiga :( Hawk
