My GF can blast you to pieces in Q3 with railgun from the opposite side of the arena, while you're hurtling across after being launched from acceleration pad. When she was in her top form, she could do that with rocket as well. :D
Cool, you can use the game to make him painlessly learn orbital physics and grasp it intuitively at such young age. He will be shocked later in school when he sees that most people don't. :p

I can see it now..

B-

BTW isn't it great to have a thread in this section of the forum to talk about things that aren't elite related?
 
But here's my suggestion:
Put a sticky up called Elite 4 Announcements
Put in a first post along the lines of "Any announcements regarding Elite 4 will be made here by Frontier Developments"
Then when they are ready to finally announce something maybe they would acknowledge our patience and loyalty by giving us the privillage of a day - a week advance notice on the rest of the world.

It was just a suggestion !

I hope that didn't sound big headed of me, I was only thinking it would be nice.

The last thing I want to do is upset anyone at Frontier.
