Elite / Frontier Unfulfilled rumours in Frontier

[boringnick]

Let's count them:


1. Black hole (started by Braben in alt.fan.elite newsgroup)
2. Thargoid ship (Braben?)
3. Empire's flagship (from the description how to get the thargoid)
4. Reflecting shield/armour (Frontier manual)
5. Military hyperdrives above level 3 (Frontier manual)
6. ECM above the military level - able to destroy the NN500 missle (Frontier manual)

7. Being able to sell pilots into slavery (by collecting the escape capsule) (Frontier manual)
8. Bombing planets with LPA's (Frontier manual)


Anything missed?

My understanding of those rumours is...

1. False
2. True (in FFE you even get to fly it)
3. False
4. False
5. True (Level 4 military drives exist but IIRC they're not for sale )
6. False
7. False
8. Err... False

Argent's Quest comes fitted with a Class 4 military drive.

I am talking about frontier, not FFE.
