No pure speculation at this point!
Your first ship upgrade?

Then I choose the big **** laser beam of death, followed by the impenetrable Aegis shield, followed up by the hacked bank account module of the Imperial Treasury.
The original Spectrum version of Elite had instant docking when using a docking computer. As soon as the 'S' appeared to let you know you were in range of the station, you could activate the docking computer. You were then instantly docked at the station.
I remember playing another version of Elite (possibly the PC one) where activating the docking computer just allowed the computer to take over the flight controls and you could see the whole process through the cockpit... and yes that music.
Yep, I had the cassette version. Don't know about the DFS version. Did it come in a variety of colours and fabrics?

The docking on the PC version had 2 options I think. One was the quick dock and the other took you through all the steps and had a habit of crashing you into the station now and again. Quick dock all the way!
Quite right, you tell 'em!
And those blood stains and scratches around the docking bay are just evidence that they weren't manly enough!
First upgrade ..... mudflaps.
Brilliant idea!

Deadly, But very fluffy...
In FE2 your starter ship didn't even come with radar or scanners. So I think they are the 1st purchase then some sort of gun. Then a processed meat plant to grind up the slave sausages......
I am actually starting to worry about you, am all for slave running but you just want to to them into sausages or something!
remember we need to make profit, and no sausage slaves don't count unless sold to the Feds! Jenner
I wish I was English like my hero Tj.

Yeah, even *I*, the commander who wears my slave trading bona fides on my sig, think I'll draw the line at slave sausages.
Just more evidence of our advanced Imperial morality.
I think it will be a passenger cabin, I suspect it will generate a lot of missions and reputation.
and off course enemies to handle.

I cannot claim the PEW PEW LAZORZ credit. Someone else has it in their sig and I borrow it occasionally. I love the way it sums up a particular approach to gaming.
As for the slave sausages, it really depends where you get them from. If you just get them from Laveburys supermarket they are ok but if you bother to shop local and buy fresh...
c3pO automated trade assistant
I might be getting a c3pO automated trading assistant. With the limited cargo hold size, it can only do so much, but with price fluctations being what they are, it makes Cr whilst in the hangar from the same algorithm as watching price fluctuations to sell at a relatively good price after arrival. I reckon that having one of these will neutralise hangar rent for me and maybe the random extra could be useful..
Rumours that they can trade in six million languages are probably a bit overstated. The cheap c3pO-r01 knock-off captured near to the Argus Industries homeworld got into a panic from the slight layout change to the lave radio price lists in changing web browsers from firefox to midori. Nevertheless it was finding ways to make >3dB per day gain on Cr given an unlimited hold size.
In original Elite, my first upgrade was a hold enlargement, and afterburners in oolite are my next. Trade&Evade at first, then Upgrade was my motto.

Have to be a pole for my pole dancers that will be journeying with me
No, no, no! I've put a lot of thought into this; you need the bar upgrade first (with robotic or slave bartender), then the sound system and THEN the poles!
Have you told the Poles of your intentions towards them?No, no, no! I've put a lot of thought into this; you need the bar upgrade first (with robotic or slave bartender), then the sound system and THEN the poles!
