Things you'd do if Elite was real life...

Anopheles · Jan 20, 2015

I would so;

Pass off ordinary slaves as imperial slaves
Produce cheap knockoffs of ships like the 'trawler' or the 'wiper'

What would you do? It doesn't have to be illegal.

I would be an explorer. I love seeing the distant stars and other bodies. It would be breathtaking in real life.

GrimThara · Jan 20, 2015

If Elite were real-life I'd complain on forums about missing features

...

That kinda joking aside, ... I, uhm.

Other than fly around seeing the same things all over and over across 1000's of LY's I... don't think I'd really do much.

Y'know, life would really suck if we lived in the Elite world as it is, for me anyway.

CATPAIN KIRK · Jan 20, 2015

I'd probably live on a planet, doing my job.

Wolfskraehe · Jan 20, 2015

I would get drunk in the best imperial bar, then try taking of in the station and start the docking disco^^

Mr. Woof · Jan 20, 2015

I guess I would have myself two ships custom made. A medium sized one to look like the Millenium Falcon and a big one to look like a refit Constitution Class Enterprise.
On the other hand the Anaconda might make a good basis for a Baby-Star Destroyer

pdizzle · Jan 20, 2015

I'd not blow up as much.

Feldspar · Jan 20, 2015

Be antisocial and never get out of my ship...

Mr. Woof · Jan 20, 2015

sorry misunderstood and wrote rubbish.

Joe Akeem · Jan 20, 2015

I'd probably be a misantropic traffic controller in a backwater system, randomly switching off pilots landing lights in jealousy of not being able to see other star systems.

My only friend would be the daily confiscated Any Na Coffe, spiked with Bast Snake Gin.

I soooooo want this in the game.
Knock of ships would be great.

Especially if they rapidly get really inside. A lot of Elite ships feel a bit too clean to me right now.

Anopheles · Jan 20, 2015

I'd also hire some guy to invent a shield that was strong enough to withstand station fire for longer or a machine that could fake cargo scans.

Conestoga · Jan 20, 2015

Sit at home on some planet playing a video game about life in the year 4400.

ICO_hr · Jan 20, 2015

The same things that people do in EVE.

Ayerc · Jan 20, 2015

I would trade commodities, a la space trucker.

But I would never drop a single ton of cargo for pirates...ever.

Kadius · Jan 20, 2015

I'd purge the people behind GalNet news.

Then infiltrate Imperial high society and become the real power behind the Throne.

/cackles manically

For shure I'll be a pilot, probably in a passenger vessel like the Orca or Imperial CLip.

Pack up my family and anyone else that wants to come and head to the other side of the galaxy far far away from humanity and start a new settlement.
