I first played Elite back in 85 on my old Amstrad 464. Then migrated to the PC and continued playing until about 97 when I had a system crash and lost the backup.
Now after thirty years I have the pleasure of introducing my son to the game.
I've got one question and two suggestions.
First the question. I seem to remember in the old days the cargo scoop doubled up as a fuel scoop and you could skim the surface of a sun to refuel for free. Can we have it back please.
Now the suggestions
Somewhere out there could there be a certain rotating space station in the form of J. Michael Straczynski's "Last Best Hope for Peace". For those of you who are too young that's Babylon 5.
Also on one of the missions could there be an Old Man, a Boy and two droids wanting to go somewhere avoiding any imperial entanglements.
