Well, this had to be coming at some Point, so here we start :)

You know you have played too much Elite when...

- you want to engage into supercruise driving your car

- tell your car navigation system to set course to mars
 
I thought the exact same thing when I got in my car yesterday!

I was doing the regulatory speed limit (70mph of course) , and all I could think was this is damn slow! I need super cruise in this thing!

Oh dear ... so it begins!
 
This is genuine - I start turning my head to the left or right and it wants to keep rolling as though I had flight assist off. :eek: Maybe I needa a lie down.

My gear shift actually has an S button, of course its S for ....

Yep been dreaming about it and waking up thinking I was about to roll on to target.
 
You know you've played too much Elite when ...

Watching Finding Nemo and you shout "INTERDICTION" during the shark group therapy scene

You drive in a wide arc to your house because you don't want to risk mass lock during supercruise speed.

You can't stop buying tea
 
...you set your sat nav whilst still in the house to have a nice smooth roll off the drive in the correct direction.

...you overshoot the drive occasionally and have to do a wide circle at break neck speeds to come around
 
- you wait to arrive at work for stardate 3302

- you compare market prices in supermarket with Lave market conditions

- you begin mining in your garden
 
You literally have a dream about super-cruising. :)

Now I've been using a headtracker when I drive the car and look left or right I'm sort of reminded of playing ED.
 
You know you're addicted when someone steals your car parking space and you CURSE them and shout 'I've just been Docker'd'
 
You been playing Elite to long when you look at a parking Space and wonder where the landing lights are and looking toward the sky expecting a cobra to come in to dock.
 
You plug your X52 Pro into the USB port of your car and wonder why it doesn't work.

You start buying goods from Asda, and get annoyed when Tesco's down the road won't buy them off you for a profit.

Trying to sling shot round a roundabout at 70mph didn't work quite as you hoped.

You INSIST on waiting in your car whilst the local garage changes your flat tyre.
