The Elite Legendary ship ?
- Thread starter synchromesh
- Start date
The Mirage never existed. This appeared in a number of Amiga magazines at the time, although god knows where the rumour came from originally. The instructions make no sense and make reference to an Imperial flagship - which also doesn't exist - and the edge of the galaxy (err which edge?) Nevertheless, we still played for ages living in hope that we could find it.
The Thargoid ships are coded into Frontier, I think. Certainly the ship model used to show up in some of the bases you were sent to attack or photograph and there were hacked save games that let you fly it and other ships in the game such as the Long Range Cruiser and Lynx Bulk Carrier that were not otherwise flyable. (I believe the above screenshot is an example of this) I've never seen a Thargoid ship actually in flight though, and I've clocked up a lot of time in Frontier over the years.

@RichyV - I just have to say, I love your avatar!
Thanks! I like it too. Just a proud dad showing off his daughter...
In the Amiga Elite there was the Wolf mkII that did not show up in later games.
There was also the Argent's Quest (not sure of spelling) that was in First encounters, it was the ship in the opening credits

A fine ship, is the Wolf Mk II... especially in purple!

You, me and I suspect quite a few others on here too Kerrash. Lets hope it is in the game this time around.
"Generation Ships
Before the development of the WS Thru-Space drive, in all its various
forms, interstellar travel occurred in large, self-sustaining environment
ships - Generation Ships - most of which have now been logged and their
progress monitored. There are more than seventy thousand of these immense
vessels ploughing their way through the galaxy, some of them into their
30th generation. The penalty for interference with such a vessel is
marooning."
