I love the idea of Elite badges, but they definitely have to be earned in game.![]()
Ha, that made me chuckle. I also couldn't find my original badge from the BBC B version...turns out my mum kept it for me! I've now got it back and remember the many many hours and months it took to get it. My kids think I'm crazy. I do like the look of that gold version. Definately support a new badge for new game idea.Originally Posted by JKF(Source)
I bought one a couple of weeks ago online

Does that count?
Its quite nice actualy. Well made.
I was only 9 years old. So I was Quite young so I never known about the elite badge. But I want to earn one :smilie:
Just think every game and online community has badges - now there is even getglue stickers. Why can't we have the same dort of thing. Have a online badge to show people what you have achieved and then the chance to get a real badge if you complete a long list of quests. I personally like the idea. A Elite Badge being the goal.

Excellent. I was asking if anyone bought one from that place. It all arrived ok ?Originally Posted by SAB380(Source)
Yes its quite nice, and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants one. My delievered product looks exactly like their promo images on the page.Originally Posted by Styggron(Source)
I know it doesn't have the signficance of being an original 'earned' badge but its looks nice and will be stuck on the front of my beastly Elite gaming PC when I build that![]()
Good to hear. In Australia those badges were not available to us at the time or at least not in my copy of ELITE.Originally Posted by SAB380(Source)
I was just wanting to see if anyone can verify that the Acornones (with the black square) are the ultra rare ones. I was told there were only around 30 and acorn only gave them out to one person a month so even if you were "ELITE" you also had to be one of the random ones they chose thus ultra rare (as per my previous post). Unfortunately I cannot find any corroborating evidence to this.
There must be more out there?Originally Posted by buellpilot(Source)
That much is evident by the numerous posts you have put, all saying that same thing.....Originally Posted by Katrin Vanhelsing(Source)
But I doubt you'll get anyone selling them unless you offer some serious cash, as the rarity of them seems evident, and at the mention of it, almost everyone has gone a hunting to find it!
Was a good surprise, haven't checked the forums for quite a long time and here's my badge! Pleased I'm not the only one, was starting to feel a little too old! Managed to find the badge once I'd heard about the ED kickstarter. That badge represents many months of my life on Elite on the old BBC B.Originally Posted by JKF(Source)
Welcome Skyman.... now that 6 have emerged from the mists of time will a 7th ever join our ranks?
With eager anticipation, we await to hear their tale of how they earned their badge, and kept it safe awaiting the return of Elite...
When you found it, did you say 'Bullseye'?Originally Posted by JKF(Source)
