Best memories from the Elite series

Postby GlobusDiablo » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:56 am

Off the top of my head:

In Elite 2: Frontier:
Realizing that the planet I was closing in on had gravitational pull that exceeded that of my main thrusters gravitational push... You know what that spelt.... (spinning gravestone)

In Elite 2: Frontier:
Being engaged by Eagles while flying my Puma Clipper. After locking on, I would engage the docking computer and sit back and relax while watching as my Puma slowly but surely navigated closer and closer to the panicking Eagle, until it ended up a smudge on my windscreen. :D

I remember the bug when you had a military mission to nuke a base.

As soon you have marked the target you could fire the nuke, even if you where far away from it, and then toggle the star dreamer. The nuke never missed :)

Frontier Elite 2

Completing my first assassination mission in a Puma clipper with a Large Plasma Accelerator and then laughing as the cops bounced off my ship (the ones that didn't blow up inside the docking bay first xD)

Frontier Elite 2
The joy when I finally realised that I could sell the weapons on my Eagle and start trading with the cash it gave me

Frontier Dangerous
Thinking I could recreate the bit in the FE2 intro where the Imperial Courier comes out of warp space and flys through the middle of a ringed space station in a Sidewinder and ending up smeared across a support beam instead
-I fly the ocean black, and my little ship goes warp 10-
-Theres nothing that we lack (unless theres something we've forgotten)-

Toggling the time slider is cheating Vikinger! You know that... :D

You can get away with a lot of things using that thing. :)

Watching the intro's! I remember watching the spinning cobra open mouthed as a kid, it was just light years ahead of anything else I'd seen. Also the intro to Frontier remains one of the classic intro's of all time:

Once planetary landings come out, I'm doing a side by side video of the original intro vs me doing it. I might also include a credit counter to see how much all the ships I would end up destroying would be worth :P
