Was coming in for a landing last night at my home base, an Alliance orbital. As I descended towards the pad, I looked ahead and saw six narrow beam searchlights come together to form the Alliance logo.
This is why I play Elite. The attention to detail for the little things that really don't matter. The swirling black background behind messages and alerts on the hud to make them legible in bright light environments. The subtle differences in sounds my ship makes when damaged. The clouds of fine dust thrown up by my ship when landing on a moon. It shows the level of attention the devs put into everything they do and when encountered, well, it just makes me smile.
That's all. We now return to our regularly scheduled series of moaning, chest beating and baseless demands from the unwashed masses.
