Elite / Frontier First Encounters, motorbikes and the Great Gates of Kiev

Why are in the two Frontier games a lot of Kawasaki base, Honda Depot or Suzuki Reward?
Is there in Frontier Dev someone who loves motorbikes? Maybe David Braben himself? :cool:
If so, then in Elite IV I'm expecting to dock with Ducati station, or to land on Triumph base and so on... :p


For the second part of the title:
Is there anyone who never heard the Great Gates of Kiev score in the game?
I've never heard it, in original FFE and in any other mod neither .. :(

IIRC, GGoK is supposed to be played whenever you receive a promotion in the Fed or Imp Navy, although it's entirely possible that a bug stopped this from happening.
It's also entirely possible that I'm wrong ;)

I resume this old post because I found another interesting thing in Frontier 2 & 3, I don't know if that is a true citation or a big coincidence, anyway: in Sirius system, there is a planet called Lucifer.. well, Sirius and Lucifer are two song by Alan Parsons Project, a British band ;)

That got me curious so I ended up asking him. But as cool as it would have been it does appear that it is nothing more than a coincidence.

Lucifer - in the game - got its name from the predicted high-radiation environment that it is in, a "hell" so to say.

Unfortunaly we can't claim the reverse either as the Alan Parsons Project released Sirius and Lucifer in the late seventies and early eighties I believe which by far predates Frontier 2 and 3.

I heard that in Elite II Frontier, but not in FFE.
