IF you think this is Hard.

IF you think this version of the game is too hard. You are crazy, the original game make this version look easy.

I remember when i would jump to a station and get swarmed by not less then 3 or more ships and you didn't get bounty when you killed the pirates. Also the missiles pretty much never missed. Landing was way harder and total unforgiving it you hit the station, you died.

A docking Computer was 5,000 CR and you had to trade to get it.

The Biggest Tip i can give anyone trying to land is GO SLOW, and i mean like 1 or 2 and line up before you start your landing run.

I wish they would give every one a free copy of the first 2 Elite games. So that every one can see how Great this game is even with the bugs.

This is harder. On the original you were much more powerful than everyone else. Shields, shields and more shields, and a military laser.

Combat in elite 1 was tough, but you had a tougher ship with shields that didn't collapse after a couple volleys.

Docking was a pita, I remember flying round stations for ages trying to find the side with the entrance, then it was a challenge to get your ship docked in 1 piece.

In elites 2 and 3 I had a panther filled up with extra shield generators which made the ship virtually invulnerable and a 20MW beam laser that insta popped everything with the slightest touch.

Those were fun days:)

Military laser was much later when you traded up to afford it. I recall starting with a table lamp (pulse laser)

I do miss the shields/energy banks though

Your shields are significantly stronger than those of NPC's here as well, though this assumes you actually use your power dist to buff them.

In Elite 1 you were also limited to flying straight and the AI ships seemed to have some serious gimballing on their guns (not needing to aim straight at you to hit), while in ED if you use your thrusters right, the AI can barely land a shot on you.

Some aspects in the commercial version will have, perhaps, differents settings.
The level of difficulty today is perhaps not definitive

Does anyone remember the bug from the first Elite where you could exit a station, turn round and head slowly back into the entrance then hit hyperspace. When you appeared you would be docked in the station at your destination.

Oh, the good old days. ;)
