Just wondering the age of ED players?

[bigity]

Something i think of and forget again...

But it keeps coming back, what is the average age of 'commanders' in 2018?

Am i a spring chicken or a fossil aged 42? :x

*Am i the only one who cares?












*probably!

Forum age or actual age?


Actual age = 42
Forum age = Depends on topic, my mood, and who the other commenter(s) are

I am also 42 OP. Not a bad age.
Ancient to my kids, but still a young pup to a retired person.

Good to see some older folks in here. 30 myself.

32K of tape drive power

Yeah and we had the advantage if a block didn't load we only had to rewind the tape a little to the start of that block not to the beginning like the others.

28. Young enough to not have any idea what a BBC micro is.

 

[Guardian Kaiser]

27. By the sound of it, that brings the average down.

You guys are AWESOME!

Love it!



BBC B Micro myself...

Me too
55 here.

Old enough to be irritated by the entitled brats, young enough to point and laugh at the grumpy old farts. Wise enough to realize that I'm both of those, and cognizant of the need for me to shut up as much as anyone else in here.

TL DR: 41.

??? You're not even a year old yet. It's 322 days. I'm sure you're a bit older than that.

36 yo. Feel and look about 25, act about 20. Didn't play any previous elites, but I certainly would if I were lucky enough to own a computer back then.

 

[CMDR Redcrest]

I had a BBC Micro late 80's early 90's.
36

 

[GroundxZERO]

30 in a few months.

47 3/4 me

Sounds like by the time FD finish their 10 year plan for ED, fully 50% of their player base will be in an old folks home.

Here's an old poll, back when we had forum polls: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/3245-How-Old-Are-Us-Players

My analysis indicates that people aged between 30 and 49 are more likely to complete internet polls.

42, never played any other Elite game.

Had an Atari 700 XL in the 80's, so my space game was Star Raiders. For more hardcore flight simulation I'd swap to that Chopper rescue game and squish all the little stick people running towards help.

On holiday and slightly/very drunk.
Seemed like a good idea at the time
