Saw myself in game finally (Kickstarter perk - finally found my entry), after getting to Dangerous/Broker/Ranger. An Expert Cobra miner; not an Anaconda pirate lord, but it'll do.
I didn't pick a 'funny' name, but it's a nice little perk and I'm happy.
Only the best part of a year late, but I gather he was in the original Elite - at least, in the C64 version you were approached by Agent Blake for one of the missions. As I recall, it was confirmed that this was indeed a reference to the good Rog.
Ooops, repeating myself - dementia is a tragic thing.
Back in the present, I've bumped into Jimi Hendrix a while back, but has anybody encountered Paul Kossoff?
A few weeks ago, in a RES in the Maridal system, I am sorry to admit that I destroyed.........Homer Simpson! I thought I heard "Doh" over the comms as he blew up but that could have been my imagination. Sorry Marge, but Homer was wanted.
