Strange, i was getting pack engagements throughout Amiga FE2 (the Fairlight crack (tho i also bought (and still have) the boxed retail version of course, just damn that old Galcop security test)) - must be some kind of issue in the build you're playing if you're only seeing 1-on-1 dogfights..
The final promotion from 'deadly' to 'elite' was the longest trawl in my personal gaming history (years, it took... YEARS!) - but i'll never forget the moment it happened; it was a close recon mission, photographing a base that was sending out swarms of defenders, intense aerial combat (all in atmosphere), the sky chock-full of fighters and laser fire and smoking debris falling back down, and then, right in the midst of battle and completely unexpectedly, Right on Commander! Elite, signed, sealed and delivered.. (and all using just fore and aft thrusters!) A legend in my own mind ever since.. but no other gaming accolade brings or deserves a greater sense of achievement, so stick with it laddie, 100 kills a week / weekend, you'll get there..
Elite in ED is about as satisfying as clocking Wolfenstein in comparison..
