O.K! So after over 4 years playing this incredible game, I am now at a point of waiting for the fleet carriers to arrive. Now let me tell you about my ED story...
I originally played this game on a BBC Model 'B' way back when it first came out and I was stunned then by it's magnitude, I played it constantly, later I played Frontier but I did not enjoy it as much as the original, even though the graphics had been improved and I don't really know why. Then we get to 4 Years ago and WOW!!! this is the Space Sim I had been waiting for graphically brilliant in the extreme having played Microsoft Flight Sim and FSX for years my expectations of reality looking games had been realised. I am Elite in everything except Exploration which currently stands at 90% Ranger I have flown every ship in the game, I have been killed more times than I care to recall, but I have also killed the same, I have visited too many planets and space stations and done every type of mission available, but I have not been to Colonia as I am waiting for fleet carriers to do that and will be glad to be released from my need to use Jameson Memorial as my home base.
I am an Admiral etc and I own 2 x Cutters, 2 x Corvettes, 2 x Anacondas and a DBX (my Taxi) all my ships are 'A' graded and fully Engineered and all have the best weapons possible, I have plenty of materials in ships store for any future engineering needs and I have over 15 billion credits, if I need more I will mine my Double Painite ring in my 576 Ton Imperial mining cutter which gives me 450 million a trip so it wouldn't take long to get 20 Billion if that is to be the cost of the Fleet Carrier, so I am ready to go, so all I do now is wait.... Is this the END GAME?
