Proposal Discussion Tribbles.....

I hope they bring the special 'tribbles' type of mission back.

That was one of the hightlights of the original game for me that I STILL tell people about.

:D:D
 
Was it an original mission in Elite on the BBC Micro? If so, I don't remember it.

But I did find this snippet from http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/faq.htm#A3:

Trumbles (C64,Apple II,NES): Cash > 6553.4CR.
Methinks:

"Hello pirate ... my cargo? Well, here you go, please don't shoot!"
<both fly off chuckling to themselves for different reasons, followed by a soft pop when the pirate loses control and smashes into an asteroid. Or similar.>
 
Whatever you do don't call them Tribbles. They're Trumbles. If you call them Tribbles you'll be descended upon by squadrons of Vipers piloted by copyright lawyers.

You have been warned. :p
